Well the poll here only puts the negative economic cost, I think in an actual campaign the rejoin side will be on stronger ground when it comes to economic arguments.

The question wasn’t has she ever met with some terfs it was has she ever called out transphobia and it’s very easy to see that she has done that repeatedly. Frankly I think it’s very dangerous for the left to go for guilt by association. It how you end up with people saying Jeremy Corbyn is Hamas.

At least on here there’s barely anything that comes near abuse in her replies. Whoch tbh did surprise me given she went off on one about not supporting Polanski within minutes of the polls closing

New paper! Accepted at Perspectives on Psychological Science. A textbook finding in infant psychology is that newborns - within ~1 hour of birth - visually track a simplified 'three blob' facelike stimulus further than its inverted control (see picture). This suggested inborn knowledge of faces!
a simplified facelike stimulus consisting of three blobs for eyes and mouth on a head-shaped background, and its non-facelike control stimulus with the blobs inverted upside down.

I do think at this stage the US is significantly worse that UK in terms of both brutality and open corruption.

Alex is far from the only British commentator who plainly believes e.g. the destruction of the Gaza Strip and the ethnic cleansing of southern Lebanon are a valiant battle by regrettably fascist white heroes against the black horde of Mordor. But how did this wildly extreme position become dominant?

Its a bad move and also just shows the lack of political skill/awareness among the Green leadership. Whatever else you think this was clearly a motion that would damage their electoral chances yet Polanski just sat on the fence and refused to engage.

I think Burnham has probably made that impossible for the next couple of years. His aim now is clearly to have enough MPs post GE to 1) Stop reform and 2) force Labour to honour their commitment to PR.

He’s the leader of the greens so he’s not going to be PM, he doesn’t needs a costed manifesto at all. What he needs is a couple of stand out policies that position him to the left of Labour and can pick up enough MPs for him to have a chance of holding the balance of power post GE.

I was thinking that it was blocking Milliband from being Chancellor or keeping Mahmood on as Home Secretary that most showed Burnham wasn’t serious about making a significant shift but there’s a strong argument that it’s actually keeping on Lisa Nandy at CMS that’s really going to fuck them.

The playing of stupid games continues at pace. I can’t wait to see what the prizes will be. Good ones probably.
Per the BBC: “ "More freedom handed to new arrivals than British citizens" reads the headline on the front page of the Daily Express.
Image caption,
In an exclusive for the Daily Express, leader of the Conservatives Kemi Badenoch tells the paper "more freedom [is] given to new arrivals in Britain than British citizens." She was pictured with residents of Piddington, who have voted to leave the UK in a symbolic referendum to protest the government housing migrants nearby.”

I think there have been some changes notably on foreign policy but yeah as soon as Burnham dropped Ed as the pick for chancellor you could tell he was going to disappoint.

No it’s not science it’s a tautology. Consciousness *is* subjective experience. If you want to say there can be consciousness without a subject then you’ve got to explain what definition of consciousness you are using such that is possible.

I would be most sceptical of the free school and academisation aspects. But LLMs mean that I don’t think there’s any meaningful assessment metric other than exams.
