Nothing says fighting back against Farage quite like giving him everything he wants. Clever strategy by a couple of totally normal and good MPs. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Great time to have just announced a big trade deal with India.

Honouring her memory by bravely capitulating to everything her killer wanted.

If the Vatican really wanted to boil some piss and get a good pope at the same time. You know who they'd pick next.

The Greens aren't the answer to what's next for the British left.

And all in the service of what? Immiserating the old, the poor, the disabled. Ghouls every last one of them.

People who have to work in service industries should be given free counselling is one of my policy positions.

I see pushing labour left once they're in power is going well.

They never intended on doing any of these things. And I'm sorry but anyone who believed they did is a rube.

Is so heartwarming to see after this week. They want you to think you're alone. Especially our trans brothers and sisters. But you're not.

Always amazes me how much of this I see even in stand up. An inherently cringe pastime.

They're 100% going to call it nationalisation but only nationalise the risk aren't they? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

It's a small thing compared to the consequences of the reforms. But remember when we were told one of the reasons he was the best person for the job was how good a rhetorical speaker he was? Guy just has no real argument for any of it beyond "a wizard will make them not poor".

Outstanding candidates update.

Presumably he'll be going with the "Only god can judge me" defense. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...

Seems like a good time to be trying to run our whole civil service on this shit.

It's almost as if, and hear me out on this, he's a bad businessman who doesn't know what the fuck he's doing.

Remember when there were a few hours where people were floating Russia having done it? We don't need help setting fire to our infrastructure through negligence.

Dehumanisation is a big part of modern life, whether it's the disabled, trans people, refugees, Palestinians. When you make people unhumans you allow all manner of inhumane actions against then.

Drop a fight scene you love Barely a fight. But the revenge scene in Blue Ruin. Man. The tension. The build up. Dwight in the cubicle grappling with what he's about to do. Then the brutality of it.

It's good that she clearly doesn't want the whip back.

I think they've massively miscalculated the size and reliability of the "curtain twitcher" vote. The kind of people who see a neighbour who's disabled and assume they're getting thousands a month in benefits.

Wes Streeting pops up from behind the screen and says "have you considered that you don't have mental health problems and just need to work more?"

This has to have been a targeted attack. Which would be in line with the way the IDF targets journalists and aid workers.

I just feel like if you're going to call something March Madness it needs more of a dark carnival vibe.

Love living in a country that is so serious about clamping down on 'antisemitism' it harasses Holocaust survivors. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Of course she did because she's ideologically opposed to taxing the rich and spending money on anything that might make life on this island even remotely bearable. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

No real surprise to see the Independent doing full on sabre rattling nonsense for Starmer. www.independent.co.uk/voices/edito...

Will any journalist had the bottle to ask the simple question of Starmer or anyone from the cabinet "We know the coalition cuts caused 300,000 deaths. How many people dying would be enough to consider these reforms a failure? 10,000? 100,000 a milion?" www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

As soon as it became clear that Labour would gain power last year and that they would be incredibly pro private healthcare. The money came flooding in.

Should have tipped people off his years at the Resolution Foundation was for the purpose of resume padding the second he was selected to stand for parliament. A vile little prick who should suffer every evil he's helping visit upon others tenfold.

I've got a list of MPs who should be made to eat the asbestos. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

My mental health and that of millions would be improved massively if this flipped at the next election.

It would be funny and totally in line with this Labour party to hitch all their hopes for growth to AI just in time for the AI bubble to completely collapse.

Why would you faithfully adapt garbage when the adaptation that exists is so much more.

It'd be made Prime Minister by the end of the year.

I never thought I'd be able to hate another Labour PM like I did Blair as a teenager. But Starmer has really reignited that spark.

Update on what it's like to be governed by a human rights lawyer.

Gen Z now thinks they invented pretending to do work. www.independent.co.uk/life-style/g...

The credulity and incurious nature of the journalist class in the UK. Most MPs told me a thing. So it must be true.

It's the modern equivalent of when people used to post lengthy vaguely legal language to Facebook believing it protected them from whatever data changes Facebook were making at the time.

The Great Noticing that Tesla's valuation has always been bullshit has begun.

Everyone's saying it but it is pretty fucking wild to see Labour attempting to create the demand for the assisted dying companies they're about to legislate into existence in realtime.

Money isn't real but Elon Musk's money might be the most unreal.

It's super simple.

Cool, but what exactly were they sacrificed for? Like what was the point of those wars?

Just popping this here for the week to come. Maybe a journalist could look at it before they ask any questions of the government.

Just deeply embarrassing. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

There's no profit in peace.

Truly we're fucked. www.independent.co.uk/voices/trump...
