If you are a voter in Tennessee's 7th Congressional District and also a fan of The Wire, I will, on evidence you voted today, pen a personal apology for having killed any character you cared for.
And yes, this assumes Wire fans do not vote for some cheese-eating supplicant to any tinpot dictator.

What’s the point of Keir Starmer employing an economics advisor if he ignores her on the biggest economic issue of the day?

Hi @scottishlabour.bsky.social! While your politicians speak this way about immigrants I will never vote Labour again, having been a member and voted Labour at every election for 20 years. And I will make it my mission to tell others to do exactly the same. Just FAOD! @zackpolanski.bsky.social

The downside of a Ming Vase strategy is that if you haven't got a lot of intellectual outriders - like New Labour had with academics like Anthony Giddens - then you end up with an impoverished manifesto and no theory of change.

We need to understand the 21st century as a window of atrocity. The right vastly expands what is permissible, and the centrists lock it in and legitimise it so that the right can expand the window ever further. I don’t see how any reasonable person can deny this is what has happened.

Malaysia plans to bar children under the age of 16 from social media starting next year, with a close eye to how Australia implements and enforces a similar ban that takes effect next month. Here's what to know.
Malaysia to Ban Children Under 16 From Social Media, Echoing Australia
The announcement on Sunday, which was light on details, came weeks before a similar action takes effect in Australia.

Today is the 4th anniversary of the worst ever tragedy in the Channel.
At least 27 men, women & children drowned in the freezing water, & 4 more have never been found.
Since then, neither we nor the French have done a thing to offer people in this situation with real solutions.

Our politics are still defined by resentment & hatred of these people.
We still believe that they can be perpetually denied all the safety & comforts that we have always taken for granted.
We dehumanise ourselves & our society by treating their lives like they're worthless.

I think that's a massive stretch - its just a recognition that the trend towards personal isolation, community fragmentation, and societal atomisation is an extremely unwelcome and damaging one that should be fiercely resisted and urgently reversed

Oh look, my university's about to lose £21 million because Labour want to appease some mythical racists who won't vote for them anyway.
These are HEPI estimates of the 20 institutions affected: I think this illustrates the impact if the tariff is absorbed in full by institutions.
What share of the 6% tariff different universities may try to pass on to fees - or the impact might be on demand if they did - is not publicly known.
