Ideally Agent Polanski takes power in May / June 2026 as Labour leader and Prime Minister. Any Labour members adverse to Polanskiβs policies can graduate to their spiritual home - the Tories.
The UK gets a credible politician as a Prime Minister without waiting for the next General Election.
He will appeal to traditional Labour voters, whilst making himself more appealing to a wider audience with his current policies - and still have the backing of the Greens.
So what is really happening here?
π¨π¨π¨ Donβt drink while reading
Labor need someone that can cut through with clear policies that matter to people.
I think Agent Polanski, once elected as an MP, should defect to Labour just in time for a Leadership contest.
How can Labour regain the public trust, grow a spine and make a real difference?
I donβt think anyone remotely close to Starmer should mount a challenge, as they wonβt be able to break the perception of the Tory-lite party.
Heads up - a drink will be needed for the next message.
like the Tories before them. Theyβve made progress in some areas which should be commended and the media arenβt interested in this so the news doesnβt cut through.
Labour should also be condemned for a number of their choices.
I think I have the solution to this conundrum.
Full disclosure, I have not been drinking. However Iβve done far too much housework today and I think itβs tampered with my connection with reality.
Hear me outβ¦
Labour were brought in on a βchangeβ ticket and have adopted a follow the wind strategy

Question sparked by yesterdayβs episode - could Andrew now be prosecuted for any crimes in the UK during his time as Prince - now he is no longer a Prince?
Or is there some form of immunity due to any crimes committed during that period of immunity?
Must feel like an unnecessary mountain of stress landing on you Marc.

A crappy 90's style clipart that reads "Rem & Jules" being the scholarship sponsors.
We don't have a sponsor for #FFConf 2025 scholarship programme (we didn't last year too) I really don't want to have to add this terrible sticker againβ¦
The sponsorship allows us budget not only for ticket allocation, but also travel and hotel for under represented groups.

This (incomplete) project was hosted on Vercel last week but now on Netlify: gimme-rss.isthe.link
I let Github's copilot hosted thing make the PR: github.com/remy/gimme-r... (original prompt at the bottom) and it actually worked first time (albeit a fairly simple project).
On to the next ones then
I donβt think it mentions Remote, however all of the rails team are
