Labour is so right wing it actively hates its own base of support, to go after a "working class" that they have imagined and never truly exsisted.
Obviously this government are wantonly reckless and idiotic and their treatment of universities, and see this as a disciplining of an out of touch elite.
But what all of this unwillingness to intervene means is that a critical industry will collapse and a lot of ordinary people will be unemployed.
"A system built on specialisation, efficiency", that right there is the death knell for the current university system in the UK, if (big if) government pushes it through. They actively don't want HE to grow, they will intervene, apparently, to help it shrink.

I love the Dropkick Murphys because "Irish-American" + "gen X" + "punk rocker who's been at it for 30 years" should be the formula for the most racist guy alive but instead Ken Casey is constantly giving interviews where he's like "fascists are demons from hell and that's where they belong"

They also built massive interstates through most major metros.
Because a lot of leftists/progressives have pseudo conspiratorial models of reality where they think the only reason Americans live in suburbs is bc GM tore up the streetcar lines in LA etc.

European political scientists are blue in the face from constantly pointing out that accommodating the far right does not help centre-left parties win, and contributes to the rise of far-right parties. There's a mountain of data to support that.

But no, the galaxy-brained strategists must be right.

The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

Congratulations to Labour who have won the coveted Tommy Robinson endorsement. Excited for sensibles to explain to me why I have to vote for the people enacting actual fascist policy.

Appeasing the far-right gives the broader public the impression that their narrative is true. There is no way to stem support for Reform by endorsing their policies. Either you are fighting against them or you are, regardless of how you see yourself, fighting for them.

At this moment, every single person supporting Labour is fighting for a far-right government in the UK.

Chanting Fire Nico got the desired result - Nico fired. Worrying about hurting the players' feelings would have kept him hired, which we did not want. The same is true of Chuck Schumer.

Just contract the team
UMass is 0-9 and playing 2-7 NIU. NIU is up 38-0 just after halftime and has run the ball 19 consecutive times on back to back to back touchdown drives

This UMass team might be the worst college football team of the century

Jags receivers clearly hurt worse than we are being told, but have to feel like we those picks could be valuable depth pieces in future vs a a player for now when the celling is a wildcard loss.
The Jaguars are trading for WR Jakobi Meyers from the Raiders, sources tell me and @mikesilver.bsky.social.

Las Vegas is receiving fourth and sixth-round picks in exchange from Jacksonville.
