I know but I think thats a product of not really looks at places that have done what you suggest like the US

Nathan @nath-ormond.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I don't disagree but also think this is independent of my points. i.e. everything I said could be correct AND your point could be right or wrong. No entailment.

Nathan @nath-ormond.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I disagree. I think you're raising an independent concern about improvements to the mechanisms of the commons and those concerns aren't wrong, but not relevant to this. Given the assumption you subscribe to it being important to have an independent legistlature review body, you're mistaken.

Nathan @nath-ormond.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

This is a really bad idea IMO that would just make it identical to the commons and redundant. We can essentially see the gridlock this causes in the US system.

Yeah, which I'm pointing out is an issue

Nathan @nath-ormond.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Yeah, though the counter-argument would go that hereditary peers is one of the best mechanisms for practically achieving this

Nathan @nath-ormond.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Agree with you on everything except Lords reform. Maybe hereditary isn't the right thing, but we need more mechanisms to make sure the Lords is packed out with party-independent expertise from across society. People deeply invested in the coutry from different backgrounds away from party pol.

So pleased to hear this confirmed in the PM’s speech. Big congrats to @makevotesmatter.bsky.social and all who’ve campaigned for it! At last we have a chance to restore trust in our politics with a system where “everyone’s views count and everyone’s vote matters” 👏👏👏

The Burnham speech: firstly, it was a vision. We've not had a national vision for two decades at least. If he can persuade the country on fixing the EU relationship, political reform, establishing a new care system and his theory of growth holds then he will be a transformational Prime Minister.

Im not saying your way of putting it is wrong, but I do think it's an independent question of the one that Barnes tries to put. I think he puts it unsuccesfully, but I don't think this rebuttal prevents you asking another question.

Jason Arday's utterly sad death holds a stark mirror up to the dehumanising political-media-societal culture we are in – one we must all be honest about being complicit in – which forgets there is a human being at the centre of a story, a case study, an issue, a scandal. It is dehumanising.

Something happened in 1837, but it didn't last. Use of Vererbungsfähigkeit ('inheritance capacity' - not yet 'heritability') and Vererbung ('inheritance/heredity') in Austro-Hungarian agricultural journals.

New, from me: It is fine to disagree with aspects of the pandemic response. But what we saw at Fauci's hearing was something different: a show trial where cranks tried to threaten and shift blame to an public servant. Here is why this is bad for all of us.🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/watching-t...

There are differences but in my opinion the main themes that underwrite these considerations all come from Indus region theology/Philosophy and cross-contamination of ideas through silk-road traid and Macedonian conquest.

You mean Greek Philosophy. ... And where did Greek Philosophy come from. That's your link. Not direct. So every time you see someone with a statue pfp talking about "Western Civilization" I want you to think of a brown indian person and curry

Obviously I don't know what was edited out, but IMO it was a really good exchange where both sides presented good points and expressed genuinely deep disagreement without civility porn. I think you shouldn't have opened calling him some name though from an optics point of view.

No m8. We're gonna win the World Cup. National Unity. Burnham Comes In. Farage Destroyed by Count Binface in By-Election. New Golden Age. 13 Colonies re-join the commonwealth. The world is healing.

Could backfire though. That unhinged rant was literally insane. Crying about all these wild things. I don't know but could be a bit too much for some ngl. Also, if he loses the election could be so good. Farage Out. Win the World Cup. Burnham In. There is a God

I've been a critic of Nigel Farage but he makes a good point. Listening to this 30min rant, I've now realised Nigel is literally the most persecuted guy to ever live. Such a hero putting up with everything he's put up with. #SorryNige

Intrigued to hear Danny Kruger, of Reform UK, tell Any Questions that universities need to "change their business model". What would he suggest? Selling crypto? Acting as "brand ambassadors" for Direct Bullion? Recording videos saying "Up the Ra"? Or getting a billionaire to chuck us £5 million?

As an adoptee, my earliest understandings of banal evil were caused by encountering the ways people were "just following orders [laws/rules]" whilst simultaneously experiencing the pain/consequences of unjust and poorly thought through laws. Interesting watching the state apologise now.

Honestly wild that one can dedicate one's life to education and public service but still get this treatment from Goodwin et al. I mean, like, I get it, I get how racism works. Whole point is making judgements independent of what you do or are like; content of your character! But still, wild to see.

Climate breakdown is here. We must double down on efforts to decarbonise but that's not enough. We need new rights at work to protect us from climate danger - failing to act now will endanger workers' lives and cost our health service dearly.
