But there are areas where Labour’s drive IS clear and positive - housing, green infrastructure leap out - but they don’t have the right people to say that.

Ditto the fact wages are actually rising. nobody is going hear that from Reeves and pop bottles are they?

It's never the comms. Labour's comms is grey because in the absence of a clear strategy for what the government wants to achieve, no-one can defend or articulate what the government says in an interesting or exciting way.

I do wonder if Labour might look at the sorts of people dominating the discourse and dominating the content wars and maybe, just maybe, rethink the sorts of grey figures they routinely put up for interviews, instructed at that to be as cautious as possible. Things have changed. Their comms hasn’t.

would’ve been cool if prenatal tests back when my wife was pregnant could predict if your kid would be interested in ventriloquism as a career

Not only is this foul, antisemitic, juvenile and racist, it's just more proof that Vance has no dignity and no pride. He will contort himself into the smallest and most wretched version of himself to play along with Donald Trump.

If the Norwegians had a sense of humour, they'd give Obama a second peace prize today.

if we’re in the throes of the birth of an electronic age, and the written word will fall behind the electronic video as the method for communication? what then of poetry? indeed, the answer may be that poetry survives when those who love it *speak* poetically, *live* poetically, slip poetry *in*.

Maybe a naive question but has anyone followed up on any of the DOGE staff and the information they stole from US government departments?

I live in a small town and there's currently a very angry "take down the parking meters" lobby from mainly shopkeepers who think it'll save the high street.

The temptation to reply to every post with "it won't work if your shops are still shit" is very strong but would get me tarred and feathered.
