We'd be doing a lot more for democracy if we tackled the route by which Mad Liz Truss became Prime Minister.
The PM actually holds an almost unlimited amount of power.
Unlike the tiny number of hereditary peers.
Bring back the farthing, that's what I say.

The DPP threw a lot at this appeal.

To paraphrase:
The US began the war with the aim of installing a more pragmatic leadership which might end the war.
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
Will she use the "I was shooting at a domestic terrorist" defence?
It's maddening because his fundamental stupidity is obvious in quite literally every public statement he makes. He doesn't understand half the words he reads off teleprompters, evinces no familiarity with very basic concepts, and regularly asserts completely inane nonsense.

Ex-Prince Andrew has always boasted that he has never been in a grocery store.
I am in favour of universities enriching people's lives and developing their humanity through love of learning.
But argue for this on its own terms. Not by a spurious appeal to the past.
For hundreds of years people went to universities because it was the only way to get into the professions.
A good modern university education gives you the critical thinking skills to identify fallacious arguments based on romantacising the past.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

You obviously weren't around in the 1970s.
That fabled land that the Tories, Reform and the Right-wing media are so keen to return us to.
In those days, when something broke, it stayed broke.
It's a testable hypothesis.
Would she become even more popular if she offered to deport herself?

There's a big hole in my reading there.
For me, it had echoes of Dick's Clans of the Alphane Moons.
I'm one of many professors quoted in this report from Alice Speri. I really appreciate The Guardian taking an angle which has basically eluded every other major outlet.
Always a shame.
