When did we start referring to the Lib Dems as Left?
Often see the assumption that although Labour is losing more voters to the centre-left than the right nationwide, the opposite must be true in the north of England. In fact, the only region it's true is Scotland. It's not 2019 any more!

Mosquera reminds me a lot of Gabriel early in his career. Lots of high risk high reward play, looks good but he will be caught out at times.

I don't really know what political party to be active in. The Parliamentary Labour Party has been hijacked by right-wingers. The Green Party are an utter liability. I just want a left-wing labour-based party who are normal.

Nosferatu: first half fantastic, second half not very good. Do not understand complaints about slow pace and plot. The plot is very simple to follow. The pace is maybe slow if you are expecting a horror movie, which this film isn't really. Otherwise it is fairly standard.

Don't know if it is illusion, but I find the argument that who you vote for influences your opinion on inflation more convincing than the reverse.
This seems plausible. Are we surprised that the people who believe Trump’s stories also suffer from money illusion?

Don't why I find the sigma male video compilations so funny. Something about the combination of music signalling impressive or moral actions happening and footage of men doing unimpressive or morally reprehensible things. Also that, while most are ironic, many consume them earnestly.

From a labour movement perspective, the English Labour Party has been hijacked by sicko extremists.

Bank of England "under pressure" to raise rates because of wage growth (not inflation). Insane when you see British wage growth in context. When did wages become the purview of the Bank of England? Taxation is a tried and tested approach to high income concerns. Is this discourse present elsewhere?
