I'm extremely confused about the Labour grouplet Mainstream. Why does it have the same name as Ian Austin's AstroTurf wrecking group from 2019?

Have I mentioned how much I hate Eric Pickles? I really hate Eric Pickles. I hate so many members of the Cameron government. So many fucked up things we have to deal with now are a result of those utter cunts.

The thing about this is many of us have been here before and we know the nature of the Labour Party. From the mild sabotage of Ed Miliband to the outright campaign of terror against Corbyn. The Labour Party is rotten and expecting someone who was part of that rot to fix it stretches credulity.

If you're talking pensions, a far more pertinent question than "can the country afford it? " is "could I live on it?"

Fairford discourse is a perfect example of how online lefties are so far ahead of the curve. @kim_il_sung_rulez420: They we're nicking fuel, or possibly dogging Serious publications: Questions remain over the scary terrorist plot at Fairford, could Iran be involved?

Anyway, a bit more needing out on the triple lock, between 2011 and 2024 the 2.5% ratchet was used 4 times and contributed to an overall 4.6% increase in the pensions.

My conclusion on pensions this morning is that the treasury hates the triple lock because it's the wrong kind of "line go up" and the progressive bullshit around it is just them trying to sell it.

Mainstream pensions discourse is basically: The Boomer generation got a massive boost to private wealth relative to younger generations and we should correct this injustice by attacking the mechanism that improves future pensions. How do they not see the flaw here?

Obviously local accounts of recent events at Fairford and what Donald Trump said are completely inconsistent. But do people simply not consider the possibility that Donald Trump, world class bullshitter is bullshitting them?

Something I wonder about Russia in the 90s is whether western wrecking was deliberate or accidental. Mostly because a lot of the stuff we also did to Russia we also did to our own economies.

This is the political class all over, they think they're a class above us and that nothing that ordinary people do could possibly be difficult. You can really see it in now nannying and patronising so many policies are.

If you really want to tax current pensioners more, raise income tax by 2p and cut national insurance by the same amount. That'll raise about £7bn paid for largely by wealthier pensioners.

Dan is spot on here, this passage is really good.
I also think that the real laugh test here is the one that Keynes described as “shouting fire! fire! in Noah’s Flood”. That is to say – knowing all we know about the UK economy today, are we really going to argue that the biggest problem is that Her Majesty’s Treasury are too keen to support unnecessary public investment? Did we really need to be running a tighter structural fiscal policy for the last fifteen years? A policy of constantly running a much tighter budget than the cyclical position would allow is a policy of permanent stagnation, and the UK already seems to have one of those.

Main message I take from this is that Mossad are extremely capricious and unreliable and that ripping the band aid off sooner is the best option.
Tweet from the Spectator:
MI6, the Secret Intelligence Service, did not give Burnham an emphatic ‘Don’t do it’ message, but it outlined that it could risk intelligence-sharing with Israel. 

‘People in 6 are pulling their hair out,’ says an influential Labour figure close to the security services. ‘They presented warnings about the consequences of doing this.’ 

That source even suggests that Sa’ar only took Miliband’s call after a request was passed on by MI6 via Mossad. Netanyahu routinely refuses to talk to British politicians.

A non-political source with deep roots in the intelligence community has this to say: ‘If you appear like a lightweight who will selectively virtue-signal, you’re not going to be taken seriously again.’ 

He says that Mossad already views MI6 as competent but overcautious: ‘The relationship was difficult because we did national security, the Israelis do national survival. I think the Israelis see us as pretty professional, but a bunch of pussies in terms of the methods that we would use.’

The whole "cakeist" thing feels like something our political class robotically and unthinkingly repeat. Wider questions really need to be asked about our whole institutional setup because it forces people into this macroeconomic thought prison.

I think there's a huge difference being in a world where things are bad but you can see how things are getting better, and where they're getting worse and also everyone is on tv saying "we insist on things getting even worse forever and there's nothing you can do to stop us."

The problem here is that it's all so asymmetric. Centrists/liberals demand loyalty from the left but never make leftwards concessions.
