What power have they given away apart from interest rate setting in 1997? The OBR has no power - governments can and do change fiscal rules all the time.

Honestly, feels like I've not played a Hideo Kojima game for too long. May be time to take the plunge on Death Stranding.

So out of curiosity I looked this up- and David Bull never got past being an SHO (and appeared to work maybe 3-4 years as a doctor) I'm nearly 10 years working as doctor and I wouldn't in any way claim to be an authority on how to solve the problems of health in the UK. #medsky

Tomorrow is the big day: Rachel Reeves announces how much gov departments have to spend over the next 3 years. This is a critical moment for public services like the NHS, police & schools. But what's the starting point for services? Team IfG takes a look at performance and it's not pretty: 🧵

The whole Mexican flags thing is a re-run of Norman Tebbit’s cricket test in the UK. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket... White tenth generation US liberals pushing this line should fuck off. You can love your new country without being forced at lib-point to forget you came from somewhere else.

Grab the first major expansion to Orbital Blues with Afterburn and get yourself an expanded catalogue of ships, additional rules for having a rad time rather than a sad time, and enter the Tennessee Five, an ambitiously sprawling sandbox setting for your new favourite Space Western RPG!

Interesting thread and enjoyed reading all the posts today about the lack of a writing around video games. A curious thing from my perspective is I do play a lot of games but rarely read or watch content talking about them. In contrast- I rarely play TTRPGs but read loads about them.

Very helpful maths. Now we know the half life of a reform councillor we can simply isolate the affected councils until they become an inert force.

This guy thinks he's in some kind of manifest destiny/animal crossing country. And once he moves somewhere the Sherrif will just give him a few acres of land to set up his tomato farm. Also, as we know nothing bad happens if you grow the same crop on the same patch of land.

Been thinking about this today. In terms of games I've played recently- Citizen Sleeper both for it's a style and because of how evocative it is. I can't know but feels it does capture the experience of a person trapped within/between the system. In terms of older games- Metal Gear Solid 2+3

I may have missed something here but have the national guard actually been all that involved since Trump called them in? My reads of the reporting is that it has been mainly ICE and the LAPD that have been clashing with protesters and the guard have just parked around some federal buildings.

Again, I struggle to see a future for a centre right party that doesn't want the vote of, say, a British Asian manager at KPMG.
