I do feel that everyone in my mentions who were arguing that 'Actually the Chinese Communist Party are bad' are kind of missing the point of the post, which was that we used to be able to do things as a country. Ask yourselves why that is no longer the case, lads.

Not a single question about Gaza, the ICC, the white phosphorous bombs used in Lebanon or the school full of kids that were incinerated. Just ten solid minutes on how it’s Iran that’s the problem.

I love the idea that China is spying on us and going "We need to find out their secrets on how to take 40 years to build a high speed railway that doesn't connect to the capital yet."

Why is this ruinous and uncorrected tory austerity rarely discussed?

During the 2010s, councils' overall core funding per person fell by 26% in real terms, on average, with higher council tax revenues only partially offsetting a 46% fall in funding from central government. But these cuts affected areas differently: in the most deprived tenth of councils, funding per person fell by 35%, compared with 15% in the least deprived areas. Councils in the North and London were also relatively harder hit.

Force more pensioners into poverty to fund care, that more pensioners will need because they are in poverty. "Fiscal rules" logic strikes again.

Well, I for one am an economist who supports rent controls! Here’s why 🧵: Markets only work well if: -buyers & sellers have roughly equal power -producers respond to price signals & expand supply in response to scarcity -buyers can walk away if prices get too high

I think Andy needs a better 90s indie consultant. All Together Now is a song about indifferent politicians sending lads off to their deaths in the trenches. What's worse, it was written in support of Michael Foot.

Some people never grew up with The Met as their police force and it really, really shows. I don't think you can grow up under their heavy manners and come out of it with a positive view of the police.

Genuinely heartwarming stuff taking place in Madrid, and across the rest of Spain, as people protest soaring rents and evictions. Also, because Spain has a left-wing government, they may well get the action their protests demand. We should absolutely do something like that here.

How much does Man City owe your club? • Pick their punishment. • Rewrite 18 Premier League seasons without them. • Hand their trophies to the teams they beat. • Add up the bill. passmode.shop/asterisk

Some people are really invested in the idea of removing the pensions triple lock. I mean, I'm no expert, but wont this essentially just be Burnham's version of Starmer's Winter Fuel Payment?

It doesn’t matter what a majority of Brits think. There’s no democratic element to the American military operating out of Britain, and there never has been one.

EXC: Majority of Brits do not support UK bases being used by the US in the Iran War.
A poll, conducted by Opinium, for Zeteo UK before the suspected terror plot near RAF Fairford found that nearly three-quarters of adults oppose the use of British military bases, or are undecided or neutral.

Personally I kind of think anyone who makes it across the channel to reach the country deserves to stay here, just out of bravery and/or desperation tbh. I wouldn't go to that level for Britain/England.

No "It is not progressive to allow a bigger & bigger benefits bill." but the UK's population is getting older and will need more care. It's also not progressive to punish younger people simply because older people are ageing and need more spending on their care.

You can absolutely fuck off with this demonstrable bullshit, there’s nothing defensive about dropping bombs on fucking schools. “The world’s most trusted news source” this is straightforward propaganda.

BBC “News”: “RAF Fairford is located in the Cotswolds, about four miles (6.4km) south of the town of Fairford, which sits along the River Coln.
The base shares a long history with the American military, and has recently been used by US warplanes as a staging post for defensive strikes on Iran.”

If it does turn out Iran is behind the attempted attack on an RAF base I will be very curious to hear how attempting to attack an airbase is monstrously unreasonable but warplanes taking off from that airbase bombing schools, weddings and water infrastructure is absolutely fine.
