Frankly this is the kind of post that shows someone has been reading too much of UK Twitter's mad China hawkism for too long. The Sunak-Starmer China policy remains the only real world China policy the UK can have.
Maybe we can move on from the "Donald Trump being an arsehole is not Keir Starmer's fault" discourse, and just go straight into "the British government has just approved the Chinese mega-embassy today and that IS Keir Starmer's fault" discourse.

if george bush had said “you shouldn’t prepare for a hypothetical” in 2003 or donald trump had said it ever, this website would be making t shirts and there’d be usernames like “The Prepared For Hypothetical”
“you shouldn’t prepare for a hypothetical” is so good
Susanna Reid asks Darren Jones what British companies who export to the US should do to prepare for a possible increase in tariffs.
Darren Jones replies: "you shouldn't prepare for a hypothetical"

one of those things were all the quote unquote serious people spent a lot of time criticising those opposed to the policy and not enough time on the actual shiteness of the policy. glad this doesn’t happen any more
"Those 18-year-olds – the first guinea pigs, the class who matriculated in 2012 – are now turning 31. And belatedly, the impact of the loans they were assured were a rock-solid investment in their futures is becoming apparent."

Britain's youth are living in Nick Clegg's shadow
All except the richest graduates since 2012 face a bespoke additional tax. No wonder they're radicalised

great post and username combo
I am not here for Europeans telling me Americans don't know how crazy things are. The Nazis are killing people over here at the moment so we're busy but thanks for the input. I had hoped for solidarity but I suppose I'll have to settle for sneering condescension instead.

Letter from Trump to the Norwegian PM says since he didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize he’s decided he wants Greenland.
Even for Donald Trump, this is astonishing behaviour.
“Considering your country decided not to give me the Nobel Prize… I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace”.

Tonight I learned that Harris losing every swing state was a Great campaign which she only lost bc tankies, who are Russian bots but also US voters and are few in number yet a huge voting bloc, didn't vote for her. But also it was rigged by Elon. But it's also maybe Sanders and Stein's fault.

I also switched from Google Search to DuckDuckGo to reduce how much data I was making available to big tech. It's definitely worse than Google Search once was, but it's about the same as Google Search now is. Also super easy to disable all AI features.
Sadly it is also Yank but privacy-focused
