My hot political take is that all this moral panic about Reeves is a) a load of old partisan bollocks, and b) indicative of how truly infantile our political and economic system is.

Apparently using the word ‘narcissist’ is ableist, if I’ve just read a bluesky thread right. Which is almost funny.

People say Glasman has no influence, but fucking over universities was one of his objectives. Because education’s for toffs, or something.

Trying to get through to NHS number down south. Apart from the number they told me to call asap not working, the most annoying thing is that the recorded message pronounces 'Herts' as 'Hertz'. Worse than LNER not being able to pronounce Alnmouth.

Maybe it's one of those 'leak something fucking stupid so the pragmatic action is more palatable' strategies. Or maybe it's just the PM and chancellor are fucking idiots. Who's to say.

I don’t think I’ve ever known anyone with a 5 bedroom house.
I can only assume that most of your friends bought their London home a long time ago. A family home starts at 5 beds I reckon. 3 kids rooms + an office + a parents room. The cheapest such house currently for sale in eg Vauxhall, hardly an up market area is £1.1m. And the vast majority are over £2m.
