I want to find of these people in the wild so I can tell them to cancel their Netflix subscription and live on porridge oats & potatoes, I really believe that this would give me pleasure
The "don't have an extra kid if you can't afford it" brigade get awfully upset when you suggest they don't stay in their £2m house if they can't afford it, don't they?

This was part of the point of requiring unpaid internships at the BBC btw- replacing a generation of workers whose qualification to get started was a love of the work with a generation of workers whose qualification was the ability to afford to live in London without an income
Journalists who came up through the ranks, knew their readers names, recognised their faces and understood their concerns 1st hand have historically been the backbone of the press. The right-wing corporatization of media has replaced it w an elite “ruling class” corps utterly out of touch w readers
I can’t claim to be neutral. But I am grateful I wasn’t hired at 19 before graduating college and then plummeted into journalism stardom. I was forced to learn my lessons in a small town newspaper where the audience was small but cared deeply when I made my mistakes — and forced me to confront them

Makes me feel a bit sick that Reeves said today she “won’t preside over a status quo that punishes children for the circumstances of their birth”, given she’s been perfectly happy to do just that since July 2024, and is only changing this now to try and save her own neck. Contemptible ghoul

If this is the One Big Idea then we’re even more fucked than I thought we were. Rail fares are extortionate - travel costs need to be massively reduced, not simply frozen at already too-high amounts

Exclusive: Courts minister says change needed to stop criminals opting for juries to delay cases, sometimes by years, and clear huge backlog

UK politics live – latest updates
Criminals will be stopped from “gaming the system” by choosing trial by jury in order to increase the chances of proceedings collapsing, the courts minister has said, promising to enact radical changes to limit jury trials by the next election.
Drug dealers and career criminals were “laughing in the dock” knowing cases can take years to come to trial, Sarah Sackman told the Guardian, saying inaction would be a road to “chaos and ruin”. Continue reading...

Incredible really that people are being told a mere fortnight before the event that they have been picked to attend Your Party conference. Most people I know who have been selected cannot actually go, because it turns out train tickets & two weekend-nights in a hotel is prohibitively expensive

I think the government should tax me more, but only after the super-rich pay their fair share
I’m not saying I won’t moan about it when the time comes to pay, but I think the Govt should raise my income tax because I am profoundly worried about the state of public services.

This is very funny - but I am particular struck by this bit from an unnamed No 10 source which confirms that standing up to Reform and actually doing the things people voted for is only necessary to stay in power, rather than because it’s the right thing to do.
