Is it common sense to treat a subject like this as a political football? Do you think this poster was a good idea?

From the full interview you can see that for a guy paid to strategize re left politics, his points of reference for the British left are woefully detached from reality.

So it's not quite the McSweeney story but I don't think it's unfair given he is reported here as having seen the danger before others and wanted to u-turn quicker

Winter fuel U-turn exposes vacuum at heart of No 10
If the prime minister can’t define the purpose of this Labour government, he’ll find others are eager to do it instead

My favourite "cutting their nose to spite their face and then complaining about it" has to be removing single worker status from the employment rights bill and then complaining that undocumented migrants are working for Deliveroo

My personal favourite moment of the WFA U-turn was McSweeney and Pat McFadden giving out briefings saying they were the first to pick up on just how unpopular it was. Top minds we're dealing with here, turns out the Tories never cut it because they just really love universal state benefits!

You're right they were just going to mine the coal to admire it, then place it gently back in the ground

The last government approved a new coal mine?

I counted 15 mentions of Biden in the whole report. The only thing they had to say of him running again was it was a disastrous mistake - but what about all of the interference they personally ran for him in the years it was clear to anyone paying attention he wasn't up to it?

One bad habit I have is when I'm doing easier work like this I forget to tidy as I go. So here is my bench after finishing today's work - everything on it was used at least once during the assembly of these watches

I cover some of the challenges in selecting the designs for these watches on my IG for those interested

With disassembly complete the next step is to attempt to fix the hairspring, order a new mainspring, then clean, reassemble and relubricate the movement.
October 22, 2025 at 12:01 PM
This was due to the mainspring being broken.
October 22, 2025 at 12:01 PM
Upon further disassembly more issues became apparent. The movement's winding system was not winding the barrel and thus no power was being delivered

Going to start saying this to those who come to me asking to authenticate their obviously fake Rolexs
