100 year old autistic, professional recluse and very occasional synthwave producer. Buddie. Moments of levity actually cause me pain. No opinions my own, even the ones I say are.

Ed isn't necessarily wrong here, but it's notable that Baron George Osborne of Gatley is missing from this circle.
That'll be because Ed served with him in the same government, and consistently toed the Tory line on austerity measures.

Just blocked someone for implying all straight men are responsible for Andrew T*te. It doesn't work like that. Gay men aren't responsible for Wes Streeting, black people aren't responsible for Eric Adams, Pakistanis aren't responsible for Shabana Mahmood. That's how the far right apportion blame.

From experience, when someone specifically uses 'neurospicy' (or worse, 'neurospicy chaos goblin') they're telling you: I believe "neurodiversity" means 'I can act like an insufferable dick and there's nothing anyone can do about it'.
I hate the word "neurospicy" as much as I hate "holibobs" and "amazeballs"

A posh contrarian take merchant, who turned out to be more right-wing than he initially made out? Sounds pretty Orwell to me.
"It’s curious that the Orwell Prize – Britain’s most celebrated award for public interest journalism – has turned to a man who’s spent much of his career trying to stifle it.”

When you see "14 years of x" line, it tells you you're dealing with someone who can't analyse politics without a party lens.
Britain's been governed by the same overarching philosophy since 1979, regardless of which party was in power. And without understanding that, you won't understand anything.

How should Labour tackle 14 years of mismanagement? I'd like to hear some realistic alternatives, considering the available resources in law professionals, university places and tutors and physical spaces. All I've read so far here is 'throw money at it' without considering the resource implications

Between 2008–2022, the UK borrowed at the lowest rates in its history. That was a once-in-a-generation chance to invest in social housing, insulation, renewables and public services.

Same way rugby club dudes all love the Manic Street Preachers song "we only want to get drunk".
I heard there was a Cohen song,
And all the Christians got it wrong,
But you don’t really get the meaning do ya?
‘Cause you see its about getting laid,
It’s sex, and love, and Jewish faith,
But all the gentiles heard was “hallelujah!”
