I Am Incorrigible

Polsci talks a lot about the (often imperfect) relationship between 'descriptive' and 'substantive' representation (crudely, the link between ethnic minority presence in institutions & changes in their outputs/outcomes). It's stronger in parliament than our media, but here's @stephenkb.bsky.social

Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.

Fully expect racist Robert Jenrick to be Tory leader at the next general election, and that's another reason why a Reform-Tory electoral pact (and likely coalition) is almost inevitable.

As for this - in other words the government would rather we offshore our operations instead of generating jobs and exports in a high productivity sector in the UK. I despair...

Brain dead economic illiteracy with no understanding of the modern world as the Conservative Party have demonstrated all conference.

Reform's Nadine Dorries on Labour potentially lifting the 2 child benefit limit: "One thing we cannot afford to do, but are doing on a daily basis, is increase the welfare bill"

Susanna Reid: "Exactly!"

Of course, no one could have predicted that this would happen or that the AI chatbots would be storing that data and using it to answer questions from all of your company's competitors.

I’ve signed up for two #NoKings events on 18 October. Anyone want to give me some witty or eye catching ideas for a slogan or picture on my placard? Or, can anyone tell me how to get a baby Trump balloon?

The UAE is an authoritarian autocracy, a petro-state with no income tax for citizens, to bribe them for the lack of democratic voice or free speech

It is 85% migrant, a segregated society with a ban on integration in principle and practice, few rights, equal opportunities, nor voice for incomers

Rutgers professor moving to Europe after threats over antifa accusations Mark Bray says threats intensified after a Turning Point USA petition accused him of promoting political violence

Mark Bray is a brilliant scholar and by all accounts a caring and wonderful educator, and is now moving to Europe because the fascists doxed him and his family

Feels pretty huge that he’s forced to do this—the harassment was bad in ‘16 but I don’t think he’s ever felt compelled to leave the country

If it's good enough for Michael Heseltine, it should be good enough for the rest of us.

Reform is a racist and fascist party, led by a racist and fascist.

Never be afraid to state these obvious facts.

In particular, the BBCs long-standing, and one sided, love affair with Nigel Farage, has promoted the fascist rabble rouser and all of his pet projects for over 20 years; providing the sort of free marketing that the @greenparty.org.uk could only dream about.

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all

We're literally begging you, @eddiemair.bsky.social.

Please save the BBC (and us!). You're our only hope.

How to tell if a social media account is monetized Platforms are paying billions to creators

There are lots of ways to make money on social networks, but creators are increasingly being paid directly by platforms. Meta, TikTok, Snap, & X have programs that pay people based on engagement.

My latest piece shows how to identify monetized accounts:

Robert Jenrick quoted from his Mail on Sunday article in August 2025:

"I certainly don't want my children to share a neighbourhood with men from backward countries"

He's very, very racist.
