There was a big fight in Lidl Harrogate today. The poor staff who had to deal with it. The thing I found funny is that it was reported to be in the “ready meals” section. I kid you not.

A Rupert Lowe backing, Chinese speaking, UK nationalist, posting a painting by the Italian artist Raphael, of a possibly fictional Greek born Cappadocian who was appointed the patron saint of England by an Anglo Norman French speaking Plantagenet king.

What could possibly be more British than that?

Zohran Mamdani is putting a 2% Wealth Tax on the richest 1%.

A wealth tax, in the USA of all places.

It can be done.

As one of our members has previously said, if philanthropy were the answer it would already have worked.

We need a wealth tax.

They are very weird people, and it will be their downfall.

Performative religious nationalism might work in America, but most British people - including most Christians - think it's weird.
Charlie Downes (Restore Britain, campaign director): "More than anything, it is Christian faith. Ancestry and it is Christian faith"

Alex Phillips: "So if you are not a Christian, you can't be British?"

CD: "Well. You are certainly less British if you are not a believer in Christian principles".

Duvall is superb in Falling Down. His genteel cop, on the cusp of retirement, representing a throwback to a better America that offsets the unhinged rage of the unhinged Michael Douglas white collar worker

A rare 90s film that has become relevant again in the age of MAGA and Internet trolls.

Just to add from yesterday, a “YourParty” representative tried handing me a leaflet as I passed their stall.

He looked surprised when I said the Trans Community won’t touch you with a barge pole and should be taking a leaf out of Zack’s book.

There's a piquancy in the row between Lowe and Goodwin, the latter affecting horror that Restore’s “ecosystem is riddled with white supremacists, antisemites, racists and conspiracy theorists” & Lowe responding that Goodwin is “full of turquoise s***” and Reform’s “deportation policy is p***-weak”.

It’s the Government’s duty to protect all communities - including trans people.

They’re failing to do that.

Trans people deserve safety and dignity.

I second this. Can't claim to have listened on *everything* on the list, but @thattimwalker.bsky.social's WMML, with Jacobi and Barber, is in a different league to most of the things I did listen to.

Enjoy it on Sounds and then you will want to vote for it.

"I don't see any reason why we can't do what we did with opiates, what we did with tobacco. We need to regulate Big Tech," Scott Galloway tells Tim Miller. "All the problems you're talking about are fixable, and the illusion of complexity is what Big Tech wants you to be overrun with."
