Careful now. We'll not be having any kind of reason or rational thought or compassion for others in British Electoral politics

The Labour Party have spent no time at all criticising Nigel Farage and Reform.

When I took Reform on - Labour sat their silently.

They're now spending their time attacking me and the Green Party.

Lower bills. Tax billionaires. (And rebuild European alliances.)

UK labour. I definitely do not support NATO - quote from Zack.

The party of government, that won a generational landslide just over a year ago, is polling at just 15%.

Starmer will be remembered as one of the worst prime ministers in British history, and a willing midwife for the fascism to come.

Atproto is the pseudo-decentralised protocol that bluesky and blacksky runs using. Blacksky I think is invte only iirc. Big issue is of course that blacksky runs using components of bluesky so they aren't actually separate. Bluesky can ban you across both it they want

The EHRC has written to the Minister for Women and Equalities, demanding that she rushes through their dreadful draft Code of Practice.

This is a bizarre intervention from a supposedly impartial public body.

Equalities watchdog urges UK ministers to ‘act with speed’ on trans guidance

I can just about get my head around the notion that republicans didn't used to say the quiet part out loud when in polite company. And maybe that has changed. But they were thinking these things and saying them to the folks they targetted all along.

Sure why not. If history has taught us anything about bubbles and recessions it is clearly that increasing deregulation really helps.

>90% of the enjoyment of drink craft beers is trying different craft beers. I absolutely do not ever need an app for that.

Ah yes, the tricky AI problem of matching beer drinkers with beers they might like. Ignoring the small issue that a beer doesn't take too long to drink and in a lifetime you could try many different beers, work it out for yourself and enjoy yourself along the way
