Same in the UK, probably getting worse with the disappearance of ‘intellectual’ Tories & Reform’s glorification of pig ignorance. I never know how to articulate this without making the problem worse! (As demonstrated above.)

Next meeting of Reform MPs:
Pochin: 'HELP, I feel very uncomfortable by the new brown face in the room!'
Braverman: 'It's OK, I know I can never be English.'
Lee Anderson: 'Aye, we all know Suella is a foreigner.'
Farage: 'Indeed. Rest assured we'll deport her when we win.'
All cheer.

“She tried to stand her ground, but there was nothing she could do.”
A big step in the right direction. Literally a no-brainer to improve people’s finances and cut reliance on fossil fuels.
This will get massively overshadowed today and as ever the devil is in the detail, but is should be one of the best things Labour has done. It has the potential to improve the lives and finances of millions of people.

Living in DK I find it amazing how the UK consistently screws the young - whether defunding (basic) state education, cuts to youth facilities, killing libraries, hiking FE fees and supporting the student loan system. DK recognises the youth is the future wealth of the country. None of this occurs.

This is also a field test.
If the press lets them muddy the waters on executing a woman in Minneapolis despite multiple witnesses and video recordings clearly depicting what happened, the message they'll take away is that there's nothing they can't get away with.

Nothing could “beat” The PSV club (Manchester 1991) toilets. Ever.
Sheffield natives, particularly those of a similar age to me, will know of the club corporation. Its toilets were legendary for being horrific - think worst toilet in Scotland scene from trainspotting. Something about £2.50 quad vodkas and coke that meant you didn't care. But they were still vile.

Worth noting again that for all of JD Vance's fearmongering about AOC slapping the Morgan Stanley Offer Letter out of Chad's hands, white men are about as represented in high status, high paying jobs as they were a decade ago.
