How do Britons see the main political parties, autumn 2025? | YouGov Reform UK are the party most associated with being patriotic and offering radical change, but also being weird and extreme

They were actually asked which party best represents their group and among over-65s 36% said none of them and 17% didn't know. For 18-24s it was only 16% none and 18% don't know. yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

His Dark Materials gets this right.

I'd rather that than them keep quiet about it!

Yeah, that's how I use it. Area majority when there's coexistence, area control when there can only be one player in each space.

Mexica is very good. Marabunta, Great Plains and Aton are excellent 2p ones too.

Yeah, 6p Team Asia is my favourite version of TtR.

Interesting that the link he used in that quote has the tag utm_source=chatgpt.com at the end of it!

According to the polls at the time, Labour were leading among Telegraph readers at the last election!

GMB and Unison have backed Phillipson I believe.

bluesky has a problem: shit sucks real bad everywhere and that's what's on everybody's mind all the time. everything else also has this same problem

It's the interaction in the 'take' part that makes this one stand out for me. The auction wheel is very clever!

I love Bomb Busters but Krakel Orakel feels like a safer bet for their target market.

Krakel Orakel Some cards are very difficult...

It’s a drawing game, but you’re only allowed to draw over pre-marked lines on your board so you have to find the best place to do that. boardgamegeek.com/image/899986...

You auction off the powers at the beginning and then each race you choose which of your racers you want to enter. It's really good fun!

[me, a journalist who spends all day every day on a social media app where the discovery algorithm is personally controlled by its owner, captain birdseye] you know, a lot of people are talking about fish fingers, we should probably cover that
