Food, beer, unsuccessful sports teams, even less successful political movements. Giving a shit since 1969, and paying the price for it in depression, anxiety and unhealthy coping mechanisms.
Oh yeah, America, this is perfectly normal behaviour for a democracy.

Blood on a lot of people's hands in today's COVID report, but they're too busy moving on from Starmer to Streeting to notice, or care. They'll hang Johnson but never admit their own culpability.
This seems like a good time to remind people that everyone in politics and media knew very well that Johnson was a bent, disastrous imbecile and that he was made Tory leader *specifically because* he was the candidate the Mail, the Sun, the Times, the Telegraph and the Express would all get behind.

A sitting president boasting that he intervened with Congress to prevent any kind of justice being served for the murder of an American journalist.
Surely this is the point that everyone in the media industry stops enabling Trump?

Stella Creasey, there, with a party political broadcast on behalf of the green party.
The leader of the greens thinks he can persuade Putin to give up weapons. The leader of reform thinks he can cut public spending without cutting services. Labour risks falling into same trap in its immigration and asylum policies. To actually change the world we need less bravado and more scrutiny.

And the Young Greens now have 40,000 members - the biggest youth and students wing in British politics

It's been commented on before how we now have a generation of MPs, especially on Labour benches, who have degrees in subjects like "public policy". What really hasn't been said enough is how, compared to previous generations, of former car mechanics, dockers and nurses, they're fucking shit at it.

So much basic working class Portugal culture has been lost because of decades of defeat. Obviously there's a principle of solidarity in not crossing picket lines, but also it's self-protecting. If the management were decent, the original workers wouldn't need to be on strike in the first place.

Solidarity to all my former colleagues in NHS jobs, once recognised as doing vital work to maintain quality and service, now dismissed arrogantly by the Health Secretary as "bureaucracy". And good luck to the frontline staff now expected to do all the admin as well as care for patients.
I find the glee here about making thousands of hard working NHS staff redundant - and simultaneously therefore ensuring that clinical staff's workloads are increased even further with administration tasks they didn't sign up for - both tone deaf and distasteful.

It's Wes Streeting. He'd do it for nothing, the money is just a nice bonus.
He's already earning £159k per year from his salary for the job he was (narrowly) elected to do. That's more than five times what I earn. I think if I was earning that sort of money I wouldn't need to abandon everything good and right for an extra chunk of money from cunts.
