Your post asked where their parents were. The implication of that is that the parents are to blame.

How is that relevant, exactly? The people who did the grooming and abuse are to blame

Andy Burnham has said he wants to dismantle 40 years of neoliberalism. But, unless John Healey tackles the cost of living crisis at the budget, he'll fall at the first hurdle. Here's what a budget that delivers on both looks like👀

All those countries you once cast a tired, judgmental gaze on for all those decades Americans, all those countries where a strong man owns everything and the people get nothing and the system has been so co-opted that there's no way out but violence; where people vanish and die. That's YOU, now.

No. But they might like theirs to be paid for so they can pass the house down to their kids. I bet they have life insurance etc. At the moment they have zero certainty about their own futures. Some of them will need care (ave 2.5 years) at a current ave cost of nearly £200k if you need nursing care

And worse for the low pay areas that really need graduates. Universities in these areas are down graded because graduates who stay may get great jobs and make a massive contribution to the area, but they don’t count…

The point I was working towards was that the northern accent is important. It signifies that the 75% of citizens who have felt excluded for decades as a result of geography now have a PM who is from them. I think it’s a mistake to underestimate that representation.

You do know Starmer also has an accent. A particularly unappealing nasal London accent at that.

Jennie Jordan @jenniewren.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

This is what happens when privileged people’s privilege is marginally reduced. NIMBYs, men seeing women’s status increase etc. Londoners are not losing out - the whole transport, education. arts infrastructure is still there, it’s just that other citizens elsewhere might be getting a few more buses

I’m talking about then and now. The population of Israel has only been able to grow because the original population has been repeatedly displaced. I’m honestly baffled you don’t seem to grasp that this competition for resources is the fundamental cause of the resentment & hostility on both sides

The difference is that Blair understood the political balances behind the solutions presented. Starmer didn’t seem to get that politics is always a negotiation between interest groups.

Me neither… I’m making the point that it’s a stereotype that women read romance. Some women read romance. Some of us like sci-fi, thrillers etc. I’m sure some men like romance too.

Jennie Jordan @jenniewren.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

As if all books written by women and with female leads are romances! Your stereotyped images mean you are missing some great books!

100

Jennie Jordan @jenniewren.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

There’s plenty of research showing that (despite women being the biggest market sector) editors rejected books aimed at women and girls because boys and men wouldn’t read them. If that’s changed and men aren’t reading then they were probably right. Seems most men are not interested in women’s lives.

Hard cases make bad laws. One purpose of the justice system is to create distance the decisions about guilt and consequences from the victims. The media loves to tell victim stories. What happens when the courts are delayed bc there is no room and someone commits a horrendous crime while they wait?

It takes two sides to create a dispute. I’m Not hearing any acknowledgement that moving 7million people into a space that housed a different 7million might create competition for resources and that might lead to tensions. I don’t see Israeli’s sharing nicely either

It’s not the disagreeing that is causing people to post negatively, Ben. It’s the violence against women.

Media coverage that is not followed by resources doesn’t feel authentic. Like getting offered a new job title but no pay rise.

Jennie Jordan @jenniewren.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

I would argue it is the duty of non-fraudulent politicians and political communicators to make much more of an effort to notice and care for all citizens of the country than they seem to have done. People are exploited when those who should be paying attention are not.

It doesn’t matter! What matters is that there is no point having an MP who seems to know nothing about your life and struggles. You can argue with me all you like, but you’d be better off reading some novels or memoirs about growing up in poor and marginalised communities.

Jennie Jordan @jenniewren.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

It doesn’t matter if he does or doesn’t. What matters is people feel like he does. And Labour, Tories and LibDems have failed to persuade large parts of the population that they represent them. Because they don’t. Because they are largely urban and university educated and comfortably off

Jennie Jordan @jenniewren.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

They think Farage sees them. Thats what he does. He draws attention to them. He gets people who have no idea they exist to acknowledge they do and start to ask questions about their lives.

Jennie Jordan @jenniewren.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Maybe. The coastal towns have been very badly treated for decades. They combine economic decline (tourism and/or fishing) with similar problems to rural communities around transport & services. Eg take a look at how hard it is to recruit teachers, dentists in places with few jobs for spouses.

Jennie Jordan @jenniewren.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

The fact that so many people have no idea what life is like for so many of their fellow citizens is exactly why places like Clacton vote as they do

Jennie Jordan @jenniewren.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

So, is there a way that millions of people could have arrived and settled in a fairly small country without displacing the existing population? It seems that the tensions were foreseeable to anyone who cared to look.

Jennie Jordan @jenniewren.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

The disabled and poor should be put to work in less than minimum wage fake self-employment to cut the benefits bill. Nevermind that 14 years of Osborne’s austerity proved that didn’t work

One has communication skills based in an analysis of the political and economic situation the country is in. The other had neither of those.
