I do wonder about anyone who thinks McSweeney single-handedly won Labour its majority. They do realise they were up against a catastrophically unpopular government? The 2024 result was very much an underperformance against the fundamentals.

If Sue Grey returns will she become Sue White, at the turn of the tide?

Bring back sue grey

this is genuinely incredible

Also brought my thesis lmao. Commit to the bit. If anyone needs a doctor on the journey I’ll whip it out

Off to a “dress as what you wanted to be growing up” party, but I wanted to be a Palaeoclimatologist from like, 11 and well now I am one
So I’ve dressed smart and filled my bag with books, a badger skull/jaw, old field notebooks, a sediment core section, some empty sample vials (filled with spirits)

I'm afraid that neither the Women's Institute nor Girl Guiding's leadership are being entirely straightforward with their membership. They have a *no downside* option to remain trans inclusive and I know this for a *fact*.

More to follow from us on this.

Going to start yelling “are you Spurs in disguise” at members of the Labour Party for fun

Though i suppose the price of masters increased after this, such that the loan (now £12,858) often doesn’t cover tuition (averaging near £15000) let alone living so doing a masters is now the province only of already wealthy people

Separate but related point, but Postgrad loans were introduced in 2016, and the threshold for that has been frozen at 6% of income above £21,000 ever since it was introduced. It’s never been raised. That + the Plan2 loan is…a lot

The system we have now quite literally embeds the income and wealth inequalities HE is supposed to alleviate. It is outrageous and incredible that a progressive govt could describe it in any way as “fair.” Too many senior politicians today think we have Plan 1 loans. They just don’t understand it.

Bop though

One step closer to heaven turns 24 this year. Sometimes instagram is just mean

As a PM, rishi sunak repeatedly denigrated minorities, particularly trans people, even so far to do so in front of the mother of a murdered trans girl, all because he too engaged in the attention economy he is now (rightly) decrying

And when it’s not rehearsed it’s bluster and he falls over himself. He’s just all round dreadful

In a head to head vote, anyone but Wes would win on a member vote. He has no chance of becoming PM unless it’s by coronation

All the bluster about Wes is entirely media fabricated. He’s bad at his job! He’s never been good at it! He’s a terrible public speaker!

Never before has there been a candidate so exclusively liked by journalists and consultants but absolutely no-one else as Wes Streeting.

Anti-trans bigots lie, all the time, about everything.

I’m sorry what, the slag for this was “larking”? Should we re-interpret spoonful of sugar’s lyrics “a lark, a spree” 🤣

Hernia? I hardly know her!

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Tbf recommended I’m less bothered by but actively shouting it when I’m asleep no no

I got to the end of an audiobook and was woken up at 1am with a fright by Harry Potter suddenly playing, despite it not being in my library. Was v angry

There is no ideology of being a starmerite beyond wanting power for no real reason other than you think you’d be good at it, only to find yourself entirely unsuitable

2024 Intake full of starmerites who haven’t got a backbone. Bunch of blue labour shite that we are currently watching unravel

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.
