👀 Apparently, Ross Douthat invited Seth Harp to debate him on Douthat's "Interesting Times" NYT podcast. Harp says that the episode was recorded, Douthat got crushed, and RD/NYT decided not to publish it.

Yes everyone pays tribute to workers in social care & says they aren't paid enough, but we know exactly what politicians would say if they ever went on strike for better pay. They'd call them greedy & selfish & accuse them of causing suffering among the most vulnerable in society

I was on a Teams meeting with the local council , police social services etc, then my colleague who had messaged me saying she'd be late (I replied saying no worries i can manage if you aren't able to make it dont stress) joined the meeting, while she was driving.

What's the outcome that terrifies Labour most in the Gorton by-election?
Reform winning?
Nope. It's the Greens they're most worried about.
They'd prefer Reform to win, rather than the Greens.

As we say all the time: Labour hates the left more than it hates actual fascists & cares about antisemitism insofar as it can be weaponised against the left even though this sets back the battle against rising antisemitism & further undermines Jewish safety

Welcome the positive signs coming from Government on this.
Young people should be protected from the clear harms social media pose. Industry has had long enough to get its house in order, and the Online Safety Act doesn’t go far enough.

Many Labour MPs back an Australian led ban on social media for under 16s.
The UK Government should give it full consideration.
