Green or Labour? Close call! Another Labour backbench MP won’t keep Labour looking left! Zack Polanski will though! Vote Green 💚

Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

I think it’s a fake image. Zooming in on the top left corner of the embedded images show a leaky border that wouldn’t exist in a genuine screenshot.

If the government can change direction after hearing the “strength of feeling” on justice changes, they can do the same over their transphobic policies too.

Fiscal rules are 16 years old. They were invented by George Osborne. That they are constantly referred to as some sort of immutable part of political reality drives me around the bend.

There was one paper that “proved” austerity works that Osborne relied upon (iirc), that was later shown to have partial data and a spreadsheet formula error that when corrected showed the opposite. We’ve had 16 years of austerity out of ideology, because it benefits capital.

I can’t say I’ve knowingly heard it. I know I’m out of touch with a lot of “popular” music. For me the extension of the “bubble” discourse is that there’s an accepted monoculture that we should all sign up to. Boring and tedious mediocrity.

Private Equity is parasitic capitalism. It adds nothing to society and only exists to extract wealth. It’s an act of class war as the rest of us pay the price.
