You can really taste the "we don't have a clear sense of direction" and "actually we'd rather not annoy bigots" themes of this administration in this illuminatingly empty series of replies.
This is horrendous. Zero empathy. Clear as mud.

It’s a little known clause of the Labour party rulebook (Ch.5,sect.xii). “When the party is in office, no clear statement can be made until half a dozen people on Bluesky have embarrassed themselves by claiming that the silence is actually part of a grand strategy“.
why did this take two fucking days though? did the Prime Minister have his notifications switched off? was he stuck in the bath? why, exactly, is this obviously true thing something that apparently needs running past the boss anyway? what is *wrong* with their comms operation?
NEW: Labour condemn Tory plan to strip people of indefinite leave to remain:

“It’s utterly grotesque that Tories want to deport people with the lawful right to be here to achieve ‘cultural coherence’.

“This policy would mean tearing families apart and ripping out our neighbours from communities."
Why is the head of NATO discussing ballroom refurbishment?
Trump on his new White House ballroom: "In order to do it properly we had to take down the existing structure."
Are… are those condoms? Condicondoms?
I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport.

Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably?

But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

Look all I'm saying is no one tell Donald that Nicolae Ceaușescu built a Palace of the People which is the heaviest building in the world and filled with gaudy marble and hideous massive chandeliers
Trump waves around renderings of his new ballroom, which appears to be entirely gold

In the United States the President is deliberately dismantling the White House, while in the United Kingdom we are doing nothing to stop the Palace of Westminster from falling apart.

Much the same can be said of our respective constitutions.
I assumed that Nicola Coughlan was reprising the role that made her famous but apparently not. Missed opportunity.
"It: Welcome to Derry" is overflowing with major shortcomings, but none are quite as great as its central plot's sheer, unbridled asininity.

It’s definitely a skill issue, but if the US is pumping out citizens without basic critical thinking skills (to be clear; that’s a problem in many countries), that’s a You issue.
I for one and pretty sick of the “I voted for the Trump in my imagination” excuse.

Voters are never going to study policy statements on websites; that’s not a realistic standard. But if you can’t even get the vague *gist* of what a candidate wants to do, that’s a You problem. Skill issue.
Federal worker: My district went for Trump both in 2016 and 2024, and a lot of my friends supported him. But they didn't vote for the parks to close, health care costs to skyrocket, veterans to lose care, and for tens of thousands of federal employees to be at risk of losing their jobs.
Oh yeah. I remember the whole “Lib Dem Friends of Cake” response to us setting up the Social Liberal Forum. A lot of those people seem to be in the Radical Association these days (good for them, but an even later response to the Orange Book takeover than SLF — which was at least 2 years too late)
It also has a rule that “Members must not take part in a decision that benefits them personally or financially,” and like, sure, I get what you’re going for here but that means a cisgender fertile woman couldn’t vote on reproductive rights for example. Did a lawyer check this?
I’m all for being collegiate but the scope for top down abuse of these rules are immense.
The thing is, Spirit Island would be a way better film, and it’s obvious from the theme what the plot would be. Future horror classic — you love to see it.
I did actually get as far as loading the join Green Party page but there’s no way I could join a party where you aren’t allowed to criticise any other member in public, including the leader. I’d be out on my arse in a week. Crazy. greenparty.org.uk/members/code...

The problem is that when it takes you two days to issue an angry quote the anger doesn’t come across as particularly sincere (even though I know for *some* within Labour it very genuinely is).
