If the current "Rejoin" narrative is "so we can control immigration better" then the UK can fuck off tbh.

After weeks of symptoms, blood tests, urine tests and an ultrasound that explained absolutely nothing about certain symptoms except to dwindle it down to treatable condition vs cancer, I am rather relieved a CT scan today showed it to be the first one. Never turn 40 kids. Not worth it.

I only sign into Facebook to stay in touch with friends and family and every time I do my feed is filled with far-right bile. Previously you'd have stuff catered to your own tastes. Now they throw stuff at you to get you riled and mad because that's where the 💵 is. And it is profoundly dangerous.

Der Ton ist gesetzt. Eine Koalition unter Führung der Linken müsste sich darauf einstellen, dass das die ganze Zeit so weitergeht. Ampelbashing lässt grüßen nur in gesteigert. Dabei geht es aber gar nicht per se um Die Linke, sondern eher darum Konservative für Bündnis mit AfD zu gewinnen.

Please take any warnings of humanity's demise *that come from AI companies* with a large pinch of salt. One of the main tactics so far has been to scare you that this tech is dangerous, and that's why this good American company should be ahead of the game on it before anyone else.

Burnham wasn't in favour of this bill for the same reason he wasn't in favour of IVF treatment for lesbian couples: he answers to a higher power than the people of the UK. (BBC excerpt...)
Excerpt from the BBC: For others, the influence of Andy Burnham may have been a factor. Last time MPs voted on this issue, Keir Starmer was prime minister and in favour of this change.

Burnham is not in favour of this bill. And that change might have swayed some MPs who supported the bill last time to stay away.

I know it's Merz and I know I shouldn't be surprised, but his solution that he just needs to communicate his strategy to the people better (and the implication that the unwashed masses simply can't comprehend how much he's trying to help them) really does underline his contempt for ordinary people.

I don't think I ever recall another time where I planned to vote for a party, yet their subsequent election campaign repulsed me to the extent I'm not sure I ever could vote for them again, never mind just in this election. Die Grünen truly have a remarkable talent.
