It certainly doesn't make you a worker.

If Andrew Tate was a Persona character his dungeon would be something else.

Vance faced an onslaught of bad press, as many commentators—including Harris’ step-daughter, Taylor Swift fans, Democratic officials, actor Jennifer Aniston, and several conservative women pundits—decried his comment.

My reading comprehension must be pretty bad because for a second it sounded like Taylor Swift was Kamala Harris' step daughter.

Experience of having a massive fucking head.

Don't get me wrong I like those policies, and hope Labour win, but the messaging for the past few years has been very alienating to anyone on the left. When Labour frontbenchers are going out and calling Margaret Thatcher a "visionary leader", or Wes Streeting blaming "middle-class lefties" for opposing NHS privatisation then it makes you think "maybe they're not the party I was hoping they were". These aren't gaffes, they're part of a coordinated strategy to target more naturally right-wing voters. Because they don't think the left have anywhere to go (and they're right, but they might stay home).

In a leaked video published by The Times, students can be seen dancing and laughing to the song before one member spots the camera and says: “Don’t film!”

We've been spending much more per capita in the NHS in recent years than we used to. Part of that is the aging population and Covid, but a big part is probably the increase in privatisation. Paying agency workers to fill up chronic staffing shortages etc

I think part of it is not wanting to be mugged off. Even though it doesn't materially affect you, having someone come in everyday and nick stuff in front of you would probably wear you down. No excuse for violence of course but I can see how it comes to this.

Just a reminder of who owns this publication: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Montgomerie

This doesn't absolve Brexit, and I feel Liz Truss is a very convenient scapegoat for a Tory party who has been in power for 13 years.

I don't understand the story with this guy. Apparently he was arrested on January 4th, and had been an FBI informant for years: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-proudboys-leader-idUSKBN29W1PE

How is he now getting a 33 year long sentence if we was an informant?

I've been loving the Private Eye podcast, but they only seem to do about one episode a month. I sometimes listen to The Rest Is Politics but I find it quite hard not to hate Alastair Campbell and Rory Stuart.

Any other good UK politics podcasts out there?
