Quite apart from anything else, I am obsessed with the sub-genre of marketing intended to reassure men about using toiletries. Half the moisturisers you see are called MAN CAVE or BRO SMEAR. It's all so hysterically insecure.

Cornell University has had 1200 complaints of sexual assault in 6 years and only 7 arrests. Power and corruption is playing out in America and at the top of the chain is a pedophile and rapist.

Of course they would. Badenoch complains she’s finding it difficult to cope on £144,649.00: “I’m a mum-of-three and I’ve had to make the same choices many families have had to make on work and childcare.” Naturally, she wants to fund this benefit to people like her by cutting other people’s jobs.
Headline: “Tories would expand free childcare to high earners, Badenoch says”

Reform-run Derbyshire County Council blacklisted a journalist after he exposed its £50,000 fence fiasco. Its deputy leader justified the move with a claim he later admitted was wrong. This is Reform’s answer to scrutiny. Attack the press. #NoAccountability

🧵Kemi Badenoch's comments that people earning over £100,000 a year are somehow “punished” for working harder is deeply troubling when discussing free childcare provision. It risks implying that higher earners work harder than people on much lower salaries, many of whom work incredibly

Tim Snyder is correct: If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money and tackle our corrupt system. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.
