My hot take is that the people picking the crops and wiping the arses should also be able to study greek literature and Japanese poetry, from their public housing.

this has been the establishment line for centuries now bsky.app/profile/reco...

Sorry sorry I'm trying to delete

Odussy.

I’ve made the direct comparison between the Unabomber Manifesto (and that’s precisely what this influencer is quoting) and modern-day conservative op/eds for some time, but I’ve never seen them *approvingly make this direct connection before*, it’s like we’ve crossed another Rubicon

for as much as the open letter >200 charities have signed is excellent & needed, concerte demands must incl. repealing the horrendous nationality & borders act the tories passed in '22. labour opposed it back then. why was axing it not one of the first things they did as w the illegal migration act?

The biggest difficulty for trans rights – the general public seems to believe the new guidance makes it possible to exclude eg trans women from women's services in some circumstances. No. This was the previous position. The current guidance requires their exclusion, always, regardless of context.

I break into the secret "Kitchen Table" policy room of the House Dems. It's an empty conference room, with a large white board covered by a curtain. Excited, I approach, and then gently pull back the curtain. There is one item, in large red letters: SPEEDY BOARDING FOR VETERANS

Obviously the cap is imposed by the Treasury. I dunno, it just doesn't seem to be a department that lives in the real world. It seems to be a department that lives in a world of IFS compliant spreadsheets.

We had a shortage of NHS doctors a few yrs ago (might still have), and there's massive demand from Brits to study medicine. But universities are deliberately capped in terms of the number of UK students they are allowed to teach medicine. Again, a deliberate decision by politicians.

The crazy thing about it is that many of those kids - taught STEM by our world class unis - will often not have a right to work in the UK. Again, the UK is mental

I attended my son's graduation in Electronic Engineering last week and was struck by how brilliant our universities are at teaching STEM... to other nation's children. We have great teaching in the UK, but the state has "engineered" so that those institutions are geared up to teach kids from abroad.

They actually can't help themselves. The thing that did for Starmer more than anything was this compulsive reactive left punching, and they have immediately gone back to it with the new guy. Irredeemable party.

This is prime centrist rake-stepping material. Farage under pressure for once but the libs are irrationally confident in Burnham so they feel like they can indulge in some good old fashioned Left Bashing and let Farage wriggle away again.

it is fucking gross how the uk has criminalised the act of seeking refuge & asylum & continues to get worse w every passing day, punishing ppl for wanting a better life to placate a bunch of racists. fuck this

in the 1940s the engelandvaarders were a group of dutch ppl who paddled across the sea to reach the uk from occupied netherlands to seek safety & fight the nazis. one of my maternal great grandfather's was among them. most died attempting the crossing. anyway, now we're doing this sort of shit

Did you know that when fascists fall over in the box and roll around, clutching their legs and gargling in fake terror, you actually don't have to believe them? Did you know you can do that?

Sometimes I wish an interviewer would sit these people down and ask ‘how stupid do you think we are’

Lads, please try harder than this

Did I say “cuts”? Silly me, I meant “support and opportunities”. What? No, you didn’t vote for them any more than anybody voted for the new PM but, guess what? You’re getting cuts anyway. Fuck you! This bullshit AI and missiles that Trump has instructed us to buy don’t come for free
