That the ideology that created this is not racist is patently absurd, and anyone saying such is pissing on your leg and telling you it is raining. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

'Give away your pension rights in the future to get even at rich people'. These people are utterly bent, and think you are stupid.
I listened to Ed Davey on the Today programme this morning, and frankly, I think he missed the point. The idea that we're keeping the triple lock to help millennials is at best for the birds, and at worst downright insulting. I say that as a millennial.
Funny how these big kitchen extension folk are suddenly concerned about state provision when staring into the barrel of old age. 10 years down the swanny arguing about student loans, austerity, while they called us all entitled dickheads. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

feel like we're the only country where "turns out our government was shithoused into power on behalf of a clique assembled by a corrupt influence pedaller compromised by links to prodigious sex trafficker and foreign governments" wouldn't be storm the legislature, PM exits in helicopter stuff
It's an inherently absurd feature of British democracy that some Lord who doesn't know the business end of a shovel is allowed to pontificate about "the hopes and desires of the working class"(racism, apparently).
It is a truly depressing indictment of politics that Lord My wife won't sleep with me because of progressives Glasman has such sway and is treated even remotely seriously by some in power.
Wake me up when Stephen Bush's bosses at FT have allowed him to publish a piece called "11 million reasons why Labour must suspend the entire cabinet". That mortgage doesn't pay itself. www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

It took a two year campaign of digital deep mining, bullshit and screeching to convince the public Old Jezza had a racism issue. This government is straight out wearing black in front of a billowing sixty-foot Union flag like Norsefire, promising to fuck up the migrants. These things are different.
www.bbc.com/news/uk-3423... Corbyn's first act as leader - compare and contrast to Eunuch Powell. This is what pissed people like Stephen's mates in the British press off so much, whatever lies they tell themselves to buy their big zone 2 houses.
