'Who else is talking positively about boys and men?' The creator behind The Tin Men thinks the rise of the manosphere is 'totally unsurprising'.

The irony of him talking against national identity while self defining himself as Catalan is not lost on me

BREAKING: Sir Keir Starmer's chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, has resigned, citing the mistake of appointing Mandelson as US ambassador. Has there ever been an example where an advisor has resigned over a particular decision that was implemened by his boss (on the advisor's advice), but the boss himself actually stayed in post? I find it very odd. It makes it seem as though the buck stops with McSweeney, when of course it stops with the PM.

If any party uses the phrase, “The PM gets on with the job” or words to that effect they’re in huge trouble. Boris covid era was all over it.

Once you hit a fiscal point of no return, the costs of macroeconomic adjust (either tax rises or budget cuts) become too politically costly and economically damaging to the fragile low equilibrium we have today. We talk about working age benefits being unsustainably high alongside with the triple lock, but in many parts of the country it’s these state transfers powering much of the consumption we see, supporting the firms who pay corporation taxes, business rates and employ people who pay income tax and NIC. Serious readjustment would come with high political costs and economic turbulence. There’s a lack of people in politics with the appetite to face this.

Is it just me who feels this modern chinos and suede shoes e scooter monarchy is really bad. It ruins the mystery of the institution, makes them feel too relatable. Short term good for popularity long term people will just think what’s the point they’re just like us.

The only thing that the Labour conference shows is that the Labour Party are terrified of Farage and they have literally no idea how to defeat him.

We live in a country where party leaders are arrested. We are insane

Read this. Blair's objective with ID cards is clear: it includes financial transactions. In other words, the state could, at a stroke, be able to block your ability to buy goods & services. Possibility for previously unthinkable authoritarianism. institute.global/insights/te…

Digital ID has nothing to do with immigration, just think critically for 3 seconds. Britain currently has up to 1 million illegal immigrants. Many, if not most, are known to the authorities. And yet they're still here. The reason they're here is NOT that we can't identify them (the problem Digital ID is supposed to solve), the problem is that we won't deport them even when we know who they are. This is not about immigration, it's about building CONTROL INFRASTRUCTURE. It's why Blair tried and failed to push them through 20 years ago. Imagine that governments which routinely arrest people for jokes and memes, locked people in their homes during COVID and think half the country is "far right" have these tools at its disposal. And, some of you are convinced half the country really is "far right" and are about to elect that evil fascist Herr Farage. You want him to have this control infrastructure at his disposal? This needs to be opposed by everyone across the political spectrum. It has nothing to do with what you're being told: Starmer is lying to you and so are his media lackeys.

The man who wanted vaccine passports

You don't have to say "I disagreed with him on some things". No-one agrees with everyone on everything. It's a pointless statement that just distances you from your own humanity.

Honestly don’t get how Truss has managed to position herself as the populist anti establishment leader of the country on the international scene. She was a Lib Dem until 5 mins ago

When law enforcement are laughing at what they’re asked to do we know we’re in huge trouble

In Tower Hamlets your taxes are funding “mother tongue” classes. These teach second and third generation immigrants Somali, Bengali, Arabic etc. There’s no money to fill in potholes, though. democracy.towerhamlets.gov.u…

A load of the OSA has nothing to do with children, they only want to talk about that part to take the attention away from the massive assaults on privacy and free speech. Either that or they’re too stupid to actually address concerns
