I've no idea if this claim is true - my gut says it likely is - but, if so, it would be another sign of British Muslims doing exactly what the right have always demanded; integrate, take part in institutions, be British. Another sign of how big a success British multiculturalism is.

Interesting, as per. But the fact that the combined support for the two "legacy parties" now averages 48 per cent, while the two "insurgency parties" lag 16 points behind, on 32 per cent, necessarily heralds a return to two-party politics. Not when the latest MRPs give Reform nearly 150 seats.

"the problem with reunification was brain drain" - basically this position says the Berlin Wall was the right thing to do

There's still Cafe Rouge in Center Parcs. And Safeway was still around on the Channel Islands for ages. Love these holdouts of businesses that have 99% gone under

We're in the midst of a massive crisis of epistemic authority and social trust, with much of the online information ecosystem basically collapsing into an algorithmic swirl of unverifiable rumour, and Wikipedia is one of the few institutions holding out. Attacking it is stupid and irresponsible.

At some point Labour and its supporters are going to come unstuck with the constant messaging that, above a certain income level, you should expect nothing from the state apart from an invoice. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Quite possible for example you can draw a direct line between Novichok in Salisbury and the UK being one of the strongest supporters of Ukraine. It seriously damaged the electoral prospects of Corbyn who is sympathetic to Russia (though he would've lost anyway I think)

Keir Starmer was a great illustration of this. For years I thought "he's not saying anything, surely he has more of a plan" and what he meant by not saying anything is he didn't in fact have a plan

Yeah you want to lower those city speed limits and motorways are the safest form of car travel so you want to nudge people on to them and higher speeds are less risky anyway

A lot of Americans on here need to understand that a shrug is not good enough as a response to "the US is an unreliable partner," even if that were true. The implication of this statement is a price the US cannot afford: the rise of pro-China factions in Taiwan, South Korea, and the Philippines.

I think some people struggle with the idea that an abuse victim who becomes an abuser is still responsible for the abuse they inflict on others.
