Being generous, the problem is a lot of MPs don't actually want to thoughtfully engage with different audiences, they're just going to defend their choices up until then, and that's a problem when /nobody else likes those choices/

I'd love to learn more about his time in Austria, as from what I can piece together he lived there 1965-2003. A remarkable man.

Like MAGA, transphobes have gotten everything they wanted in 2025. And, like MAGA, they've never been more vitriolic toward the institutions they've captured, more disgusted by their wounded victims, more ready to plough forth into realms of cruelty that even they would have balked at a year ago.

Always found it a useful comparison that Americans found it insane that a British PM would express an opinion on banning dog breeds, while lots of Brits entirely refused to accept that it might actually be useful to send a trade delegation to Albany.

Trump, unlike the British executive, controls remarkably little that American people use day to day. He's driving down a much bigger road.

Organisations like the Guides and the WI could have chosen to fight rather than capitulate, difficult and expensive though that might have been, and it's not unreasonable to criticise them for not doing. But it is this Labour government who could and should have fixed this problem when it occurred.

It's also weirdly ignorant of their own role in that change. Israel is no longer an underdog because the US exerted immense influence across decades to create a system in the Middle East that does not threaten American interests. This includes Israel, and is *the* project of muscular American power!

Given the any injury rate on British roads is 0.38, doesn't this mean that Waymo rolling out here would, like, make the roads less safe?

Not clarifying the Equality Act in line with what we know was the original intention of its Labour drafters is an active choice.

I think something that hasn't quite pierced their environment, but which bankers IME get, is that as difficult as it is a promise to raise taxes is a lot more politically realistic than a promise to cut spending, let alone cut it in the run up to an election.
