Just utter imbeciles pulling out every cable that holds together the modern world in a desperate hunt for immigrants

I know everyone in this thread is paying attention, but it really feels like our wider Westminister ecosystem doesn't realise how far down this rabbit hole our politicians are going.

It seems clear that TP has been on a journey of serious radicalisation - which deserves some examination.

Also how did we get to the point where The Times is printing this stuff?

I think the term is useful - for example, some large percentage of Westminster has something like this around Brexit.

It's absolutely infuriating to me to watch commentators jsut wave through the Home Secretary's ideas without any critical examination of the impacts.

uh oh, what did I miss?

(Thanks for answering btw, much appreciated)

Interesting, I didn't want to skew the pitch with my theory, but the word for me was nostalgia. It's remarkable to me how even self-consciously forward looking projects seem to get sucked in by the backward-facing patina of Blue Labour.

Some times the Pitchbot is just art.

How did it come to be that the one "intellectual" project seemingly everyone of influence in Labour feels a need to genuflect to is Blue Labour?

Is this the striped one?

Just a friendly disagreement between teammates

I'm fascinated by all the love for TLJ out there.
(It was fine, but it just doesn't stick with me that much?)

Hang in there.
If you can carve out a bit of time for something good, I find that helps me.
(I'm in a big work push, so I'm just dreaming of not even a holiday, just getting to the quieter time.)

I am sure a full stats look would say it's not as glaring as I think but the series after the Hunt fumble was such a classic instance.

I think you're right. I do think they have to try to get him on something, but it needs to be something that actually makes him uncomfortable. (Most recent thing I've seen him squirm a bit over is Gill/Russia.)

I wonder if the reason they are walking into taking on an astronaut is because a bunch of them are "we never went to the moon" believers.

Given the likely long term results in terms of acid reflux, I suspect you are just paid by big Gaviscon.

This weekend's games felt like slop all over the place.
Poor execution everywhere - and it's Week 11, not Week 1.

I've been trying to work out what feels so odd about this and partly it's that Presidents past were wary of taking on the Senate, so it illustrates how degraded the GOP are - but the other thing I wonder, how many of Trump's advisors are "we didn't got to the moon" types.

donald trump is sitting at a table making a funny face and pointing at something . Alt: donald trump is sitting at a table making a funny face and pointing at something .

That was yuuuuuugely what came to my mind too.

When you put it like that, it's really grim.

If any of the Of-regulators had teeth, this would be quite a different country?

oh those sweet summer children

Are you trying to break my liver?

He tackles like a rugby player - which is interesting.

We have a "it's just bantz" out in the wild. 😞

I missed that! I was really trying to just skim and not get drawn in.
