We should meet them in the middle and issue a legal mandate for all men to play Disco Elysium at least once through.

Obviously not helped by the fact he is in self imposed exile. But Holborn was George Galloway’s worst ever result in a Westminster election.

NEW: Kemi Badenoch’s flagship party conference policy document, The Right Way, overestimated the cost of net zero by nearly £500bn, seemingly after someone accidentally double-counted figures on a spreadsheet. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

DIGGER: you will never see a greater array of technical skills devoted to a worse series of creative decisions.

I've just been enjoying the jokes but yeah something has clearly gone wrong if your showcase includes Space Corridor. Plenty of actual clever uses of AI out there.

You're right that doesn't sound 100% ethical

Oh God they've been lying in the trailers and the whole of season 1 will just be him getting to Hogwarts. Dumbledore gives the welcome speech, camera pans to Sorting Hat, cut to credits, see you in 15 months for season 2.

Listen, some spacious bint distributing additional dimensions is no basis for a system of government

*slaps corridor* This baby can hold so much space communism you wouldn't believe

You apostates have lost touch with the true meaning of corridor. Of Space Corridor. I will have no part in this.

I'm proud to be here for the first schism in the Space Corridor community.

Wouldn't be a corridor if you can't touch the floor, glad they had their priorities straight

No joke I would be very tempted to buy Spacious Corridor.

But you don't understand, the corridor... it's in space!

Whatever else they may be, good to see French students are still world-class slogan writers ... (translation in alt text if needed)

French student protest placard reading : "Macron: f*ck your teacher, not ours" ... Brigitte was famously once Macron's drama teacher

Why couldn't they just let inflation steadily drag more people over the threshold, like a normal government?

Got to wonder what maru did to be attacked like this.

Would you include actual kids theatres like the Polka in Wimbledon?

This - removal of the Personal Allowance and a weird spike in effective income tax rate - is the particular bit that always baffles me.

Re the debate on the cliff edge where tax-free childcare is lost at £100k leading to people keeping their income below this amount, it’s obvious that such cliff edges are bad as it skews decisions about work – no-one should be worse off if their earnings increase. /1 🧵

Thrillingly lukewarm take: ministers SHOULD be meeting Abu Dhabi reps, and working to keep things calm regardless of the final outcome. Talking to people doesn't mean doing everything they ask.

In the simplest and most reductive way, the Uk political class seems to have resolved to pay 4% of gdp a year to investors to avoid raising taxes by 2% if gdp a year. It sounds mental when you put it like that but that’s actually the situation.

Strange news this morning for anyone following the EU KIDS Act: the Commission have opened a public consultation on it, AFTER they published the bill and sent it to EP/Council: ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet... Pretty sure it doesn't normally happen like that.

European Commission - Have your say

That was the news this morning yeah, I'm trying to understand if the vote has happened and if/when he'll actually announce it.

Isn't there also an "if your select committee report makes a big splash, you'll definitely get made minister right away" angle too? Heart-pounding stuff. (And yes still somehow a really good show)

Good piece on prices but doesn’t really mention the other side: transactions. Turnover has collapsed in London, especially central areas. That means the price evidence is based on thin volumes and most people are sitting it out (thanks high rents!). That’s prevented further price falls.

Which does mean that you could just change it to "Much Ado About Fucking". Loses a little bit of the subtlety, I admit.
