While people feel the foundations of their lives are shaking, this deep crisis will continue | Clive Lewis The partisan debate since the Gorton and Denton byelection risks blinding us to the truth. People are rejecting wholesale the way our politics has developed, says Labour MP Clive Lewis

β€œThis is not a communications problem. It is not a personality problem. It is not even primarily a leadership problem, […]. This is a legitimacy problem: the legitimacy of a political status quo that appears to monopolise what is considered possible.”

Three US bombers land at RAF Fairford amid conflict with Iran The military bombers are capable of launching missiles more than 1,500 miles.

Having missed the news for a few days, which stage of β€œno involvement” is this?

Implicit Association - Moresapien We carry automatic, unconscious preferences and stereotypes that influence our judgements without us realising.

It’s absolutely wild.

But I think I’m tripping myself up with my own assumptions - that gay men are less susceptible to the masochism as a lot of the population seem to be.

Prey was an absolutely brilliant movie

Controversial: I also thought Badlands was cracking.

This is one of the most shocking graphs I’ve seen in a while - and that’s saying something.

Gay men - what an earth is wrong with you?!!

Like chickens voting for a wolf.

Vape shops are the equivalent of a car park full of tiny, poorly maintained Teslas - and we all know how often they like to spark up.

Further point - maybe we don’t need one every 75 yards.

Final point - we got rid of plastic bags to save the planet, but semi-disposal vapes…

I remember it well. It’s the same rhetoric, same β€œtypes”, same false concern. Just another minority target for people filled with hate.

They’ll lose, just like they always do.

Hope wins eventually.

Ah, but it’s completely different. You see, that was us civilising them (with mass slaughter and slavery).

Poisoning Iranian citizens so we can liberate them from their oppressors - who, for the avoidance of doubt, are the Iranian government (and no one else).

β€œThe British immigration and asylum system, […] appears to have been designed as a joint project between Franz Kafka and the Marquis de Sade.”

β€œa portrait of blind bureaucracy built on nightmarish illogicality and complexity, coupled with wilful cruelty which cares nothing for human suffering.”
