Labour's governing ideology is convenientism: it would be convenient if, e.g. reducing legal immigration fixed their electoral problem with the boats. It would be convenient if you could reduce poverty only with popular measures like hiking the minimum wage, etc. etc. etc.
hmm, what exactly is her theory of the economy? i'm lost what a coherent if wrong viewpoint looks like here

The “savvy” view is usually wrong - both morally but also as analysis. Farage’s views and character are a really important part of why the polls are where they are!
All the supposedly progressive people saying 'Nigel Farage's racism doesn't matter. His fans love it'.
It matters whether the leader of the party leading all the opinion polls is an outright racist. It matters if he called black people 'wogs' and said 'gas them' to Jews. Not everything is a game

Last year, I talked to disinformation expert Amil Khan about how the story which provoked the riots after Southport - that the attacker was an illegal immigrant on an MI6 watch list - was invented by a fake news generator based in Pakistan

Far too much credibility is being given to the new ‘Trump peace plan’ that would be tantamount to Ukraine’s capitulation. Here I explain why this new plan is far less than it seems and is unlikely to lead to anything. (£/free trial), open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/y...?
Yet another peace plan?

Watched ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES (1991) properly for the first time.
I like to think they told Kevin Costner they were making a serious film and everyone else they were making a Carry On

An ICE employee was among 16 men arrested after trying to solicit a minor for sex in Bloomington, Minnesota, police say
"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said during a press conference. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

It's almost like just saying the word "responsible" doesn't actually convince anyone that you're acting responsibly.

Luckily Labour does not have many supporters in middle management positions at large organisations who make socially conscious purchasing decisions, care about the climate, and live in urban areas.
If my group chats are anything to go by, Treasury briefing "we're going to end the cycle to work tax break that enables people to buy a large family-sized e-bike" has done more than any other advertising campaign to boost the uptake of family-sized e-bikes. Sales must be through the roof this week.

"Have you considered waiting for the conference in November before accusing Your Party of being transphobic? Because we're having a vote on whether to support trans then. Me, I don't have a problem with them. I was actually in the same room as Jeremy when he said he wasn't bothered about it either."
