Lol this side plot of US Politics is so fascinating; after the most pro-labour US Admin in many decades helps to bailout this Trade unions pensions... they go and back the GOP. After the last two years it's insane this is still happening.

It’s important to note “those with the most severe and debilitating disabilities would not lose any money.” But we know too often state tests are not accurate in judging “severe”, just as we know people with less severe conditions still face vast expenses and discrimination.

Disability doesn’t care how old you are. Specialist food is no cheaper if you’re 19. Employers don’t lose their prejudice if you’re 21. This is blatant intergenerational inequality from Labour. Younger disabled people of all severities deserve better. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

There are really good reasons *not* to do it, but both this Labour government and the last are hamstrung by the inability to just clearly state 'Donald Trump is bad and has bad consequences'.

The BBC news summary this morning went seamlessly from "critics warn PM scrapping triple lock would be electoral suicide" to "critics ask if PM has nerve to make tough decisions" and I don't think it's a particularly pro Burnham stance to suggest he might not be the entire problem here.

I definitely getting the vibe that Labour will run on Rejoin the EU in some manner. *Unsure* if this will mean a Rejoin referendum or just rejoin via a GE... Or maybe compromise and have a GE coincide with a referendum lol.

It will never not be wild to me that the Russians attacked Keir Starmer's home, successfully spread falsehoods about Starmer's love life, and this didn't changed British politics and British political elite behaviour *at all*.

I don’t understand this “very British/very English” framing. According to the Today programme it was “very English” that a member of the public called the police on seeing something dodgy. I’d no idea this is a specifically English thing. Perhaps we can encourage other countries to adopt this idea?

The two main tendencies in national Israeli politics right now are "expulsion and annexation of the Palestinian territories" vs "civil separation under the authority of an Israeli police state", and virtually all mainstream US commentary simply refuses to engage with this.

Astonishing really how ADHD-denialism so closely matches early trans-denialism (say, a decade ago, before it went mask-off eliminationist), to the point that it includes the exact same personalities, again vomiting their know-nothing opinions all over the place.

Others will have their say about this, but I think it’s worth pointing out that this - or laundered versions of it - are accepted wisdom amongst a big chunk of our political and media classes and it is simply bad for society when the elites have little or no understanding of *the systems they run*

The uk state is an endless cycle of (1) create bad tax (2) realise its a bad tax but don’t admit defeat so create loop holes for the activity you accidentally crushed (3) get mad people are using the loop holes (4) make the tax worse to try and stamp out (3). Just scrap stamp duty honestly.

There's a lot you can criticise the Tories for 2010-2014, but I do think the absolute mess that Osborne made of our tax system is up there. It's why Reeves promises to keep it have largely doomed Starmer and Burnham to the same piecemeal interventions.
