Change UK: Chuka Umunna resigns from Labour party and launches Independent Group
- Thread starter Kaka Tim
- Start date
A quick look at what these deeply principled individuals are doing now:
Luciana Berger - head of public affairs at Edelman UK. Edelman's portfolio includes running astroturfing groups for Walmart & the Keystone pipeline; providing crisis comms to News International during the phone hacking scandal; the American Petroleum Institute; the government of Saudi Arabia and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
Chris Leslie - chief executive of the Credit Services Association, the trade association for debt collectors & bailiffs
Angela Smith - having spent her parliamentary career shilling for the water industry, she is now a non-executive director of Portsmouth Water
Chuka Umunna - after some time at Edelman UK, he is now working for JP Morgan Chase
Ian Murray is still hiding in the PLP and pretending he was never interested

Someone else. Tom Watson to be precise.

Ah yes, "someone whose name I try and fail to remember when Change UK gets discussed" sounds about right for Tom Watson.
Michael Dugher and/or Tom Watson. Both happily shilling away for bookies now

Still the only ones addressing the real social inequalities in Britain - like, for instance, former government ministers being blacklisted from six figure salary sinecures:

That can or can’t do, and therefore teach is a load of bollocks, but an enduring load of bollocks.
I am talking teaching under 18’s, not at for example University level where many lecturers I have met hate their ‘dickhead’ students (ripped off paying 9+k for fuck all contact hours). My son and daughter in law lecture at a London and a Midlands University, and despite getting well paid resent any needy student getting in the way of their personal research or drive towards career furtherance.
Teaching in ordinary schools (leaving aside the philosophical debate regarding why) is one of the toughest gigs anybody can do.
Some adults can hardly deal with their one offspring, yet teachers have to deal with 30+ of the buggers.
Those who can do can get on with it, those who can teach it are fucking geniuses.

Not really just 30+ "of the buggers"; in secondary phase the possibility up to about 250 different individual pupils in any one day.
Massively over-loading their natural 'herd-size' capacity for social interaction...one reason for the lower life-span, poor mental health and dependancy problems prevalent.

Agree with this. I've never taught young uns, only adults and even then only in relatively informal settings. But I've worked extensively with teachers in various contexts and there's no group of people whose resourcefulness and resilience in the face of an incredibly demanding job is greater.
Edit: Now, that is. When I was at school a good proportion of them were chancers, perverts and lunatics who should never have been allowed within quarter of a mile of a school.
