I'm not saying it would be better if they wanted to relish in hacking away at the dignity of trans people, but it is insane how they pretend that somehow this isn't even really changing anything.

This is a stunt, but it is a clever one and only possible because of a foolish decision by the UK government.

Apropos of this my Russian teacher just taught me the verb Недоперепить which means that you have drunk too much but you didn't manage to get properly drunk before you stopped

It is funny this has emerged now as I recently went for drinks with someone adjacent to this world politically who pointed out to me that a lot of the shadow war stuff in Africa today isn't pointless if only because in a global war they will be surprisingly valuable as allies!

So, actually quite beautiful but... "la deuche" lol

On these lines no one who got married before covid (myself included) should be giving dating advice, it comes off like boomers telling you to drop off paper CVs

It's annoying that the purported Pro Patriotic parties of the populist right in the West and to a significant extent foreign ploys by an adversarial regime designed to weaken their host nations, but it'll work in large part because the audience for this are stupid people disconnected from the facts.

As I was saying yesterday there is an obvious switch in approach and it's a welcome one. Let's see if it sticks with Katie Lam, Nick Timothy etc... on the front bench.

Interesting point here and makes me wonder if they'd even be capable of doing a non-nasty campaign today.

My American wife had a gentle crisis about her predicament prompted by our two year old demanding a crisp sandwich and entirely refusing to accept my wife's insistence that a sandwich can't only have carbs.

Increasingly fear one Western country is gonna have to collapse into an actual civil war/dictatorship for the rest to take the necessary steps to move away from the brink so many of us are rapidly approaching. Just pray the salutary example isn't us or the one nation that can destroy us all

Whoever it is that unlocks good vibes again will reshape the world in dramatic ways we can't even begin to imagine right now.

I do wonder sometimes if certain people in Labour have ever met the modern working class. I know in reality they have, but it never feels like it. Working people are overwhelmingly literate now! Most know people of other races! Many have gay friends or family! Some worry about climate change!

Fundamentally, the median voter has had a tax cut since 2010 and the result is that nothing works.

👀London's newest section of Cycleway!! This section of the Cycleway 4 extension - between Gallions Rd & Charlton Church Lane - is due to open this week. We've expanded our network of Cycleways from 90km in 2016 to 450+km today. And cycling across the capital is soaring🚲🚲🚲

Not entirely sure, seems to me an awful lot of Reform voters have a particular person in mind they want to fuck over.

An aggressive set of local prosecutors could decapitate like half the tech fascist world.

I think it's absolutely mad that today there's a *national news story* about 400 oil platform workers losing their jobs, and the government being blamed. 25% of the UK TV industry lost their jobs in the last 4 years and we never hear a peep about it! Some jobs are 'real jobs' I guess.

I have many thoughts about this story but one is that we are extremely blessed in England to have an education system where schools in poorer areas get more money. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/20/m...

Is "induce me to move to SW London" not an option?

It's gonna be hilarious when one of the main complaints of robotaxis is that they're too respectful of cyclists.

Government has spent years arguing in court that elderly Quakers sitting down and holding placards about Palestinian Action are, in fact, terrorists who must be treated as such. Meanwhile their reaction to these people is to stress that they understand their "reasonable concerns". Infuriating.

imagine if they did something truly dangerous like throw soup at a statue

Feeling increasingly vindicated in my 2019 decision to grudgingly back Corbyn because the people up against him were so obviously bastards

“Charity is a cold grey loveless thing. If a rich man wants to help the poor, he should pay his taxes gladly, not dole out money at a whim.” Clement Atlee.

Suck it Putney, you'll pay council tax at our rates and still won't have the bridge back.

A campaign for *MSF* to be banned as a terrorist group (on the paper thin basis of claims about 2 past employees) is the product of the UK Govt being willing to divorce any meaningful conception of societal threat from its use of proscription powers. Govt needs to wake up to the madness of this:

This story is a perfect example of how broken reporting of the mobs roaming Britain's streets now is - and the political response. What would have been the appropriate response if this hadn't been a sports team? Trash the hotel? Force them out into the street? What about other people staying there?

There’s a lot that’s disgusting here but what stuck with me is the indignity of the visitors having to prove their bona fides to a puffed-up mediocrity like councillor Madgwick to gain his and the mob’s consent to stay in a hotel.

one thing I will add here is that I am relatively agnostic on the actual tactics needed to beat the far right, because they change across different national and temporal contexts in Hungary, the center-right beat the far right. in Canada, it was the center. in Spain, it was the left

It wasn't quite so repressed among white South Africans, and was indeed one of the things that bound waverers to the project until an alternative way out was seized upon.
