I believe there is a safe (safe'ish) labour seat in Manchester where the current Labour MP may "chose" to resign on grounds like ill-health
That takes care of being an MP - everything else depends on whether the right of labour continue to prefer the prospect of defeat to the prospect of compromising with the left of the party
I suspect the right of Labour would prefer death to anything close to socialism

I wouldnt trust apple long term
They will huff and puff about the UK demand and make a great show of protecting privacy etc
But as soon as the US govt demands the same ( maybe already have?) , Apple will have a serious weighing up of costs/ benefits to apple, not customers and conclude that maybe they care more about the US govt than about their customers
