Lol I just remembered they *do* exist, but in the 20th century Indian tradition of instant noodles popularised by Maggi etc, so "dry" (like Indomie of Indonesia) and not with a soup base like in Japan

The "they can't pick a man who lost in 2015" crowd are missing several factors. Demography has tilted a big chunk of the electorate in the 10 years since, and dramatic events have shifted the political playing field entirely. Miliband has also had ten years more to learn

Conveniently, whilst Josh may have no idea (fair enough, it's not front page news), we have objective data on this too, courtesy of @jburnmurdoch.ft.com's FT column in 2023. No other major advanced economy loses as many medics to overseas practice as the UK, including anglophone peers

Conveniently, there is objective data that answers the question raised above and explains why resident doctors probably care more about this question than many in either the private sector or the rest of the public sector

A Labour government chasing reform and increasing the salience of Reform and far right political ideology to its own detriment, right after it spent 2 years witnessing Sunak do the same thing

At the risk of becoming a "one neat trick" policy poster, I come back to these. Tenements in Scotland are frequently mixed age. One flat will be HMO students, one will be young professionals, a retired couple, a young family etc
The solution is literally build more missing middle housing

On a lighter note before taking a break from here...
The Death of Stalin is one of my all time favourite films, but I always find this behind-the-scenes still hilarious because there's just something about a pose that looks like "Marshall Zhukov takes a selfie with the lads" that's inherently funny

So there was a value proposition early on of "this makes it easier for you to connect with potential partners outside your immediate social and work circles", which is genuinely useful. Judging by user numbers as a crude metric though, it basically peaked in '22 and then slow motion collapse since
