I think there is a practical argument "austerity was broadly a center right project and it failed on its own merits" but that also requires accepting the form of austerity pursued was part and parcel with a centre right ideology, and...eh?

I have mixed views on this, because whilst I think there is a fundamental point that the legacy of the centre right is one of failure, I also think a lot of what the 2010-2024 government's did was also pretty radical, including bits of the coalition.

I know he was once considered a real threat but Jordan Peterson's King Lear story arc where he gets visibly frailer with every public appearance while his daughter very obviously slowly poisons him is kind of iconic...

It doesn't say great things that Charlie is arguably one of the more normal sounding activists in the piece

I am just confused how she washes say, towels, or whites if everything just goes straight in

Always feel like a lot of cancel culture discussion could better be summarised as "I do not like that people can criticise my morally questionable decisions."

A grim, ostensibly left-wing political entity but in reality a national chauvinist one, dominated by decaying, heavy industry and run by a cabal of feuding non-entities, Barnsley is a town in South Yorkshire.

I do think the fact this article accepts as a premise that young men break Reform in any meaningful numbers is to its detriment because it leaves them discussing emulating Farage and not, as may actually help, pursuing policies young people like.

However, critics are warning that the planned liberalisation of the alcohol licensing regime in England and Wales will erode local councils’ right to decide on opening hours, hand the drink industry unprecedented power and limit the ability of people affected by late night openings to object.

There's a lot of properties with weird structures for both, either sky high service charges or short leases that are either undervalued or cash buyers only and will otherwise become very desirable, and this will happen basically overnight. I think you could easily make a killing.

Shopping in the London property market and feeling very confident that the Government's changes to leaseholds and service charges are going to make things go really weird pretty soon.

Genuinely, the most logical response is "we will have a database of everyone who is here legally and check those who don't match," and that, we must remind ourselves, is her libertarian solution.
