People wanting taxes raised on people who aren't them is pretty normal actually, especially given that rich people are getting more and more money in the current economic settlement.

We've already made too many concessions across the education system, including at university level, to the demands of employers seemingly unwilling to invest adequately in their own workplace training.

People online will really be like “you believe in having principles? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, conceding every principle to build a winning coalition” and then not build a winning coalition

imo at some point people treating public opinion like a wild irrational animal by yelling 'omg the PUBLIC wants CONTRADICTORY THINGS' every time a poll comes out are doing much more to reinforce the political dynamics they're complaining about than they realise

If Labour wants to face electoral oblivion, it should indeed listen to Blue Labour and implement its prescriptions.

The current generation of liberal politicians are so bad at being at politicians

Even if you believe people can forsee their finances for 18 years ahead or choose to have an extra child for a tiny bit of extra income (which are stupid things to believe) you still can't avoid the fact that this punishes the children and creates bigger costs for everyone

This reliably infuriates me because it's the most wasteful thing a government can do - the ability of this £113bn to crowd in private sector investment is vastly reduced because it's unpredictable and unreliable; you can't plan based on special treats and exceptions.

Absurd that Hermer has been made to apologise for his completely correct summation of how our current system of international human rights came about, why they matter and what sort of people oppose them

wild that we sent a huge number of guys to Iraq at the start of that war without rifle plates and now this is just how cops dress to frighten kitchen employees

The problem with AI currently is that we've basically invented a new and better mirror, and now governments are breathlessly asking when we can get the people out of the mirror dimension to work for us.

I'm so sick of the UK government prioritising the pretend economy over the actual economy.

I had to read this several times as “prioritise growth” and “hit universities over the head” are so mutually contradictory

If this is true it’s a genuine “what the fuck” moment. Letting a bizarre campaign speech with no election imminent interfere with serious government business would be a major dereliction of duty. And would smack of chaotic priorities in Number 10.

This further underlines the sense that no-one in Blue Labour has any intention of engaging the world as is or thinking through actual policy challenges. This is just vibes based rubbish dressed up as working class radicalism. Sound familiar? Yep, same as Reform.

If you want to really worry about what a PM Farage might do, compare the pushback that Trump is getting from courts and some other institutions, and how little of that would happen in a UK which gives huge powers to the executive.

"email jobs and human resources" for god's sake. The LSE should be having an internal inquiry into how someone left its doors knowing so little about the UK economy.

It’s really comforting that as food skyrockets in price, your neighbors are disappeared by masked goons, and people die en masse of preventable illness, Republicans and Democrats can come together and say: fuck this one trans teenager in particular for trying to run track with her friends

Rayner and Miliband would be more popular and would do more useful things IMO, but the suicide attacks from the party’s right would start on day one and would never let up, and half of the press would treat them like the tyrannical rule of communist death camps Islamic Jihad.
