Sorry what "serious" path is there to Rupert Lowe as prime minister?
I don’t want Rupert Lowe as my PM.
So, perhaps it’s about time we started thinking in terms of tactical trade offs rather than absolute purity tests.
Hold Burnham to account. Push him.
But lets get serious about the threat we face.

Just the same people in labour desperate to find someone who can sell the cuts they want a little bit better so they can keep their cushy life

Labour: 49
Reform: 37
Greens: 5
Restore: 5
Conservative: 3
Lib Dem: 1

Depends where they got their wealth from doesn't it?

People having lots of money makes the lives of those living in an economy those people interact with better. That's the effect "concentrated wealth" has.

Why would finding a random collection of villages on a map be a useful skill
EXC: Andy Burnham says Westminster has failed Northern towns for decades
*Says many MPs couldn't find Makerfield on map
*Vows to unite “too factional” Labour party
*Says by-election will shape UK for years
*Warns Britain risks US style division
*Joined on doorstep by Steve Coogan

Unless labour MPs start talking seriously about saving at least some of their jobs with electoral reform
If Burnham loses in Makerfield the media will somehow paint it as a win for Starmer.
BUT Burnham is Labour’s most popular figure. If he loses, to a weak-ish candidate in Robert Kenyon, while Restore come 3rd, we need to start talking about single digit Labour MPs after next GE.

I don't think restore and green voters are interchangeable
Jun 12
With less than a week to go, there's a very real possibility that this back-of-the-napkin maths ends up being the actual result
Just need to swap the Greens for Restore

Do you think drones are artifacts of religious or cultural significance?
All these people are hypocrites.
If this was 4 working class white men that broke into a mosque, smashed up precious artifacts worth £1m, and then attacked the police causing GBH they would all absolutely agree with the judges actions.
This is no different.

12% undecided, 10% restore/tories. Had wobble of "surely even he couldn't bottle this against Kenyon" but I'm back on my bullshit

So the BBC has moved on from doing the whole "is a transgender woman, which is a biological male who identifies as a woman" thing to just straight up misgendering trans people? Love that for us, what a wonderful publicly funded institution we have.
BBC News have published a scare piece about trans healthcare and I’ll let you decide what it thinks about trans people based on how it genders people here:

AI written
This week the most advanced AI model on the planet got switched off by a foreign government. British researchers were studying it. British companies were testing it. British hospitals were piloting it. Not any more.
This isn't an AI story. It's the story of every industry we used to lead.
Britain has some of the best AI talent in the world. DeepMind was built here. Our AI Safety Institute writes the rules other countries follow. We have the researchers, the universities, the standards.
What we don't have is the power stations to run the data centres, the planning system to build them, or the industrial base to make the chips. So the work happens here and the value lands somewhere else. We invent. Others build. Others decide. Then we read about it on Saturday morning.
Same story as the kit our soldiers don't have. Same story as the factories we used to.
I spent nine months in government making this argument inside the room. I'll make it louder from outside.

If we have AI and robotics to drive our economy why would something as trivial as cheap water and electricity be a problem?
In the age of AI, robotics and space travel

Someone threw a pigs head at the Kingston mosque and a dickhead in the pub tried to "yeah, well" it.

When was the 1st time something happened that made you think this might not be the country you'd been raised to think & hope it was? Not just something you disagreed with, but that was of a nature, or created a reaction in others, that made you doubt?

If were going to do this we gotta make some money out of it like Edinburgh does. Yankee tourist will throw dollars at you for this sort of nonsense.

Londoners are rightfully concerned that an event promoting land confiscation & destruction of homes is due to take place - so I put this question directly to the Mayor today.
I welcome his strong condemnation. But condemnation is not enough, this event must be cancelled.
