Actually this seems like the manifesto of a party that knows they won't be in power. The NHS wards policy is impossible to implement - maybe concentrate on getting people out of corridors and into wards in the first place!

Large screens have been put up on the banks of the Danube here in Budapest, close to the National Assembly parliament building. Péter Magyar appeared on those screens to deliver his supporters a message: "We are optimistic but cautious".

I don’t often find myself agreeing with Ezra Klein, but this is completely correct — and frankly, shows some guts for a mainstream liberal columnist to say.

Comfortables always have two phases of operation. Phase 1: "This graph *proves* the Emperor is wearing clothes, take that you peasant filth." Phase 2: "Those claiming the Emperor has no clothes have been monstrously abusive towards *me* and must be executed."

Part of the reason Labour won't say they'd like to rejoin the EU is prooobably that they spent so long shouting at Scots that if we left the UK it'd take us decades to get into the EU, on terrible terms, etc. Might make them look a bit dishonest if they now claim the UK can walk straight back in.

Laughing at Will Hutton's article in the Observer cos it's just like "everyone I disagree with (from left-wingers to Polanski to Farage to Trump to Netanyahu) is a catastrophist, which is bad. I have blind faith our institutions with survive and defeat fascism, because I am a Sensible."

In France, legislation came into effect recently for all car parks that have over 80 spaces to be covered with solar panels. Estimated to add around 11GW of renewable energy capacity to the national grid. Why not do likewise in Scotland? Braehead, Silverburn, Glasgow Fort etc.

Hey
@goodlawproject.org
it's pretty poor to put out a political survey that asks for voting intention and doesn't prompt for the SNP or Plaid Cymru. Comes across extremely England-centric. No Northern Irish parties either.

Can't stress enough how dishonest and opportunistic these people are. 'Cass review is unimpeachable' until Cass calls for a puberty blockers trial, then suddenly it's not. 'Women's organisations all oppose trans rights' until some support them, then suddenly they should be defunded etc. etc.

Don't get me wrong, he's a horrid little shit in the pockets of private healthcare and bigots. But at least he's being honest. There are no circumstances in which the UK would "give" Scotland a referendum. "Give" Give. What a ****.

Ok, willingness to participate in a manel is the political equivalent of returning the shopping cart moral judgement. It's a low fucking bar, but not a single Scottish political party has managed to get over it. Jesus...stand up to fascism, these boys won't even step out of the spotlight.

I'm remembering around 2017 when women in Scotland were expressing ourselves about indy manels, and the way the indy men reacted. That was the precursor to the incoming transphobic shite where they all declared they're "protecting women". All taking place in the context of the MeToo resurgence.
