That whole area was quite sparsely populated until the industrial revolution though.

A gold star to Laurence Williams of Bexley, who is standing for election this May for the Greens - which I think is his tenth political party. It takes some political journey to stand for both UKIP and Rejoin EU. candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/person/6615/...

i find the niche subgenre of "news that would have meant decades of bloody grinding war conducted by men in big floppy hats and now is basically just LARP stuff" very funny

It's incredible that this week the largest leftist political commentator on social media, just casually doxed the addresses of some of the most prominent Liberal influencers, and there will be zero consequences, and these same people will expect us to embrace them.

It’s exactly the same pattern. It’s anything to avoid a confrontation - especially with people who admire him. It doesn’t matter whether or not he’s personally transphobic - or antisemitic - he gives space and legitimacy to people who are. That’s not leadership.

It’s been a source of great hurt that people didn’t believe Jews over Corbyn. It hurts personally that many of my friends were inherently suspicious of what I was saying about him because I’m Jewish. However - I am very happy to see he’s not getting away with it now with trans folks. Enough.

“Abase yourself in statements and with gifts” is visibly the right approach as a Trump hedge, but it needs to be paired with “wean yourself off US dependency so you aren’t going to have to still be doing this in 2048”.

Not the first person to make this point, but Labour have got a healthy voter base that most social democratic western European parties would kill for, and they pine for the voter base they had in the 20th century which a, doesn't exist anymore, and b, was when they lost by default

I think much like Brexit ultimately people are going to have to experience the negative effects of net zero migration before they accept they exist. that seems to be the way the country is heading

The underlying problem with having a "nuanced opinion on trans athletes" is that the status quo was already the nuanced view (typically a certain period on hormones, usually years post transition, decided on a sport by sport basis BY their awarding bodies), critics don't actually want that.

Weak, weak, weak
Keir Starmer needs to learn the difference between strength and fragility. Also this week: Australia’s illusory straight line boundaries; and what exactly is a heatwave?
