I haven't watched BBC Question Time in ages. But since you @zackpolanski.bsky.social are on it tonight, I will. I agree with 90% to 95% of your views.

I sometimes worry I exaggerate the collective madness of our media but the people who cheered Brexit, Boris Johnson & Liz Truss's mini-budget are now applauding Kemi Badenoch's speech. 'Parallell universe' doesn't come close. I suppose her not falling over is a win of sorts for them at the moment.

Josiah, I would have already become a paid member of Your Party if I knew the answer to the question you pose here.

Two Qs for UK politics nerds:

1. Is Zarah Sultana still the co-leader of Your Party?

Their Electoral Commission filing only listed Corbyn (co-leaders not allowed on EC docs, mind). The launch vid only had Corbyn in it. But I've just had a presser from a YP branch saying she's still co-leader (1/2)

Burnout isn’t a personal failing, it’s a structural problem.

People are being signed off sick with stress at an exponential rate. It’s unsustainable.

It’s time to do something about it.

It’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰

A Department for Education spokesperson said: “Schools and colleges will retain the freedom to decide what programmes of study to offer regardless of these changes, which are aimed at prioritising subjects we know lead to good jobs and drive economic growth”. This is really terrible!

“In the letter, the government said it would be “reprioritising” the funding of post-16 education in England to focus on “larger than normal maths and high-value A-level programmes to support the pipeline of students for priority sectors””. Grim.

Labour cuts funding for state school IB diplomas

The sudden decision may mean the IB program is only available in private schools

I am currently single without a girlfriend. I would happily be cuckolded by my future girlfriend. I would unconditionally love my future girlfriend, want to please her and to make her happy.

I am currently single without a girlfriend. But @k8lister.bsky.social I would never use those words on a date.

Opinion | You can tag as much faux spirituality on this as you like, but these are traditional (read patriarchal) gender roles, repackaged for the modern dating scene – and it needs to be consigned to the dustbin

I am currently single without a girlfriend. I don't look forward especially going on a foreign holiday alone. Being single and alone isn't fun. I would want to go on holiday with my girlfriend.

The Showgirls 1995 film is a great film whatever anybody says.

Elizabeth Berkley was on Saved By The Bell, Showgirls, see her now

The blonde beauty shot to fame on Saved By The Bell as high school student Jessie Spano, a role tailored especially to her strengths. Then in 1995 she did Showgirls. Now she is in Paris.

I am currently single without a girlfriend. I would happily be cuckolded by my future girlfriend if she has a higher sex drive than me. I wouldn't want to sexually limit her. I would unconditionally love her, want to please her and to make her happy.

My least practical view is more kids should go to university to meet different people from different parts of the country, learn new stuff (doesn’t need to be useful) and just generally learn to be an adult away from home and the workforce

Richard J @preachypreach.bsky.social · 1d

“Too many kids go to university” is a view that’s a surprisingly good leading indicator of where someone’s views will converge on as they pass up the demographic ladder

If Your Party is to avoid repeating the mistakes of Corbyn's Labour, it doesn't just need better leaders at the top.

It needs to become an organisation full of leaders at every level.

Your Party Needs More Leaders, Not Less

Building a powerful, democratic movement is the only way to beat the far right.
