The contempt that university managers have for their academic staff here in the UK is *off the scale*.

Remember the billion lifetimes ago when Labour briefly talked about abolishing the HoL and replacing it with a democratic parliament of the regions as a second chamber? They even got Gordon Brown to write a whole report about it

I might be the only one who does ...

i've generated 30,000,000 clips of mickey mouse shooting donald duck in the head on the steps of great moments with mr. lincoln. the uncanny voice of goofy says "this really happened! it's canon! a-hyuck!" plays on loop over it. i will now e-mail one clip to every child in america

no, sorry, I've just skimread the YOOF version if this and it's just a re-assembly from things you hated already (online safety act, more cops, mandatory job searches) and underfunded bullshit that doesn't work (Pride in Place, "access to" safe adults) etc. etc. I hate it.

the truly atrocious cover of the YOUTH MATTERS "your national youth strategy" document, it's got Starmer getting a selfie with a labour students dipshit and a DIVERSE CAST

Oh, this is sure to be *good*

Lmao "there is no bubble, there is no market insanity totally unconnected from the real economy. Full on the gas pedal, do not stop, gotta go faster"

If this thing pops then the response from these incoherent lunatics is gonna be .. something

Yes, we said almost exactly a year ago that this government stood genuinely no chance of building 1.5mln homes unless they went fully hardcore into state-owned social housing construction, and even then it might not have worked.

Just say racism is good. The amount of verbiage is so boring.

All you gotta do is pay yourself first *nods sagely*

The fact that Starmer is joining forces with former fascist youth activist Giorgia Meloni to "cut off the far right" demonstrates exactly how disingenuous this is.

We must protect our borders to defend our democracies. Here's how This is our strong message to our friends in Europe. Unless responsible governments reflect their citizens’ concerns, populists will win, say British PM Keir Starmer and Danish PM Mette Frederiksen

In this article about "how we protect borders and democracies" there is literally no mention about how to do that. There's just the guff about "legitimate concerns" and "maintaining control", but what they're doing is dismantling laws against torture.

"This is the only way" I smile grimly at the shackled, desperately struggling refugee I'm throwing on a flight back home where they'll be tortured. "I have to do this to stop Reform winning Wellingborough and Rushden. Surely you understand."

Torture happens in Syria, in the uk it's just sparkling abuse as the G4S goons drag you and your child screaming on a repatriation flight while blocking your lawyer

I place £500 worth of chips on the table and howl like a gibbon as longshot bet on *checks notes* Darren Jones? pays out big time!

Me, not reading but just looking into my orb here "what if we did some illiberal horrible stuff at home? To please the despots and tinpot fascists? Surely that'll..."

This is (part of) the reason why I always try to cite sources on @praxiscast.bsky.social - i don't want to pretend that I'm the Original Content Guy for like 95% of what we do; i rely hugely on actual journalists a lot even when I still (try to) read a lot of primary sources.

This is like 3-5 years before these people start posting and behaving like ICE fyi

From the Guardian politics live blog: Keir Starmer says former deputy PM Angela Rayner will return to cabinet Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of UK politics. Keir Starmer has said the “hugely talented” former deputy prime minister, Angela Rayner, will return to his cabinet. Rayner stood down from the government in September after the prime minister’s ethics adviser found she had breached the ministerial code over her underpayment of stamp duty on her £800,000 seaside flat.

So is this whole stamp duty thing actually real and so bad she had to go, or if it just not, we all know it's not, and you can just come and play with your toys when you've had your timeout?

Is it any wonder all these people just love getting free stuff, being outside directors, making bank?

Your prime directive as a parent is actually to stop your children from writing in the Spectator

So the safe bet is that you'll be recommending people vote Green if Labour keeps nosediving, yes? Because of the bigger picture?

… and he SERVED ✨

The papers and everyone else can only make hay out of teenager Farage racism because if you talked about him today it would lead to some phenomenally awkward questions like "why does most of the political and journalistic establishment agree with him and why do they all talk about small boats?"

Just kind of imagine me being 500 feet tall and surrounded by smoke and fire as I do basic math and then scream *THAT IS A HAIR UNDER £21,000 PER COUNCIL WHAT KIND OF CRUEL JOKE IS THIS?!*

The best thing about this stupid tower full of idiots is that everyone involved is so miserable living there

The US Supreme Court is not a legitimate institution and whoever wins the Dem nomination will be too much of a coward to stack it to the rafters or abolish it
