Not a single lip to be found in this picture

Been fun watching centrists wed themselves to this disastrous Tory policy despite it being provably one of the biggest drivers of domestic child poverty we've seen in the past decade. My favourite excuse is when they say it won't solve child poverty completely, so it shouldn't be done, lol.

I'm seeing double here *eight* cunts

The biggest issue I have with centrism is that it’s in these compromises that it ends up being useless. Sometimes, you need to spend £10 billion to do anything at all, they always end up spending £3 billion and doing nothing at all.

If the flying car i invented looked like this, i would simply not fly it, I’d be too embarrassed.

Aaaaand here's the kicker, Labour insiders suggesting that leadership is planning this to soften up MPs to not scrapping the two child cap. Joy.

at what point does someone stop being working class? i don’t like this idea that a sir who is a fully paid up member of the establishment, the prime minister – who has a disdain for working class ppl and views us through the lens of a middle-class ‘thug’ stereotype – is working class.

can I collect my winnings yet

Details on free breakfast clubs for primary schools:

1) why are journalists 'leaking' to other journalists? how can Marie not report it herself? 2) why do Le Conte and Pogrund think this is pertinent info for the few thousand people who buy political non fiction but not pertinent info for the millions who consume news media, which they both work in?

My grandad always said that the Western Allies didn't do enough killing Nazis. That many SS veterans were allowed to settle in UK and were not handed over to Stalin. It always boiled his piss as he saw firsthand what these bastards did in Europe.

this view in liberal circles that everyone must vote for their candidate and anyone who doesn’t has betrayed their civic duty their candidate doesn’t have to earn votes or provide an appealing vision for the future i don’t understand where this has come from but it’s detrimental to politics

The two child benefit cap is depriving thousands of families of £3.8k a year. But Starmer's got 60p for your kid's breakfast. So I guess it all balances out

Nominative determinism is bullshit? Explain Princess Di.

jus saw someone waxing lyrical about the blair era. completely ahistorical nonsense. i checked the bio and the dude is 23. why do so many younger ppl have this utopian view of new labour? where in tf has that come from?

Stephen Fry is going to be shocked, shocked I tell you, when he finds out who Stephen Fry pals around with

We could also talk about the devaluing of professions - especially those considered done mainly by women - like my friend’s dad in his 90s who bought a house in West London (!) and brought up three kids on a head waiters wage.

Tl;dr: everyone apart from the faction of hacks I belong to & rely on for gigs is a crank

Lol

The Nazigraph have really found their holy grail with this story. Cunts.

This is like the last scene in The Usual Suspects. Except there would have been a bunch of people screaming “it’s Kevin Spacey!” for two hours and getting called cranks

not pure, platonic idiocy, though. They believe this shit because they’re ideologically disposed to trusting rich people, and managerial class dorks love a ‘one weird trick’ approach that shimmies them out of either using their brains or ever taking on capital. Also they personally want to be rich.

I would ask you to pause here and ask yourself: what exact methods did “the centre left” use to “fight back”? Are those methods available to Sensible Tories. Can they, say, rely on the national press to devote five years to stoking deranged hate for the Tory right? I would say: no.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I do like canon in fiction but past a certain point it just gets too unweildy. Instead of having Alien: Earth set explicitly two years before Alien and thus in the same timeline why not just use trappings of the setting but have it be its own thing?

Sadly, people who've spent 18 months being taught not to object to the blowing up of hospitals and schools and the systematic mass murder of doctors and journalists are not about to risk their careers by speaking out against politicians doing Nazi salutes.

It looks like our Snowdrop Sunday tomorrow will be weather-blessed, with the rain holding off till after the event is finished. So come and join us to transform our little corner of Finsbury Park into a haven of snowdrops that come back year after year. 💚 A symbol of hope in the darkness...

WELP

It is a well-known fact that this bloke was part of a Twins-like experiment with Rutger Hauer, where Hauer got all the cool vibes, and this Bregman got...this. (BTW Bregman trots this out every so often, *especially* when it relates to Palestinian or trans solidarity for some mysterious reason).

"Management company Onward Homes is set to raise the fee from £210 to £733 a month for leaseholders at the Canalside apartment block off Water Street in Radcliffe, Manchester." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just absolutely wild supporters of a party that chose enabling genocide over winning an election are attacking others over their "purity".

Yeah, I definitely want to support the far right in having more control over what I can say publicly, no possible way that ends badly.

me figuring out this layout then agreeing

The problem with Rutger Bregman: Wanting to work with fascists.

Look, you either need them or you don’t, if you do, maybe don’t call them losers, if you don’t, why bring them up?

Very excited for my first installment of the @haymarketbooks.org book club.

War on Gaza: How Palestinian lives are reduced to a series of grotesque calculations. Amid western silence, Israel's horrific slaughter of civilians exposes the racist core of the project of liberal intervention www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/war-...

Woah woah *woah*, lads! You were just meant to build a wall of solid hate against various outgroups and the left to keep them away from any kind of power via a solid electoral bloc of easily-led fuckheads. You weren’t supposed to go upsetting and scaring real people who actually matter!
