WHAT YEAR IS IT

I had a cursed thought of a fascist girlboss axis of Takaichi, Meloni, and the AFD lesbians and I swear to God, the center had better fucking hold in Germany because this is one woke reboot I am just not in a place to handle right now.

I would like to hear similar sentiments expressed with as much conviction by leading UK politicians.

that is monét x change

You're supposed to be emotionally attached in a relationship. That's what a relationship is.

Babe, new political compass just dropped.

Robyn’s First New Album In Seven Years Appears Imminent The widely beloved, massively influential cult-pop star Robyn only makes music when she feels like it, and she doesn’t feel like it very often. Robyn’s last album was Honey, which came out in October ...

I swear this Taylor era was supposed to be all big pop bangers. This is an album of soft rock mood pieces

In addition, I think also: politics is about argument! When I say 'the free movement of services, goods, capital and people is good for growth', I am not saying it because it is popular, but because it is true. It is in fact racist to say that mixed-race people should be deported!

That every TV spot and discussion I have seen about the NHS has been about 'winning the next election' not 'so what, exactly, are we spending this money on and is that a good idea?' again shapes which MPs get rewarded and also forces smart MPs to sound stupid when they speak in public.

I think a lot of this is primarily about what many of us in the media now rewards. I chaired quite a few fringes at Labour conference, and at all of them I walked away impressed by the quality of all the MPs and their contributions.

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.

Memo for Labour: globalisation is good, actually This government is in many ways the party returned to its factory settings. But the product was faulty in the first place

I don't think Labour's policy agenda is a winning one, but combining some quite traditional leftwing economics with, essentially, not being willing to talk about how you are leftwing feels like the worst *possible* way to govern and campaign:

I think we, as a society and a species, should be clear that what “make users be more comfortable” means in practice is “forget you are talking to a machine”.

A lot of people pushed on this earlier in the summer but @stephenkb.bsky.social @robertshrimsley.bsky.social and @sundersays.bsky.social deserve credit for getting op-eds out there and helping to change the tone.

Seeing him and the conference finally rise to this is quite something. You can see the surge of confidence in the speech as he realises, hey basic antiracist rhetoric is popular and I believe it too! Glad the message has sunk in.

lmao, give over you freak!

Distinction of what a simple majority in this instance means is pretty key. Most of the descriptions so far suggest it means 50%+ of all 68 members voting - which would need 34 votes for Israel to not participate, and mean that an abstention is essentially equivalent to vote for them to participate.

Looks close going by this link. That said, if by simple majority they mean 50%+ of all members voting for Israel to not participate, those numbers look pretty unpromising for the prospect of Israel being kicked out as things stand... eurovisionfun.com/en/2025/09/e...
