So stupid..
Labour acknowledges its main competition is
Lib Dem and Green so why push away the very progressives Labour needs to win back? That's before we get into the morality and optics of jailing protesters.

Gmail suggests replacing "a bit of an arse ache" with "This will be somewhat inconvenient"
Gmail is not keen on my use of colloquialisms.
You're marketing manager for a chocolate company. You persuade CEO that you can increase market share by targeting marmite consumers. You change choc ingredients & add marmite flavour. Sales fall off a cliff as no one likes marmite chocolate... not even marmite fans. Do you keep your job?

We see this again and again, yet the instinct remains to chase right 🤦
A pallet cleanser after today's speech. Worth watching in it's entirety.
It's time to remove the signs.

New analysis out this week from the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) has concluded that the UK has spent £30bn less on importing coal, oil and gas over the past 25 years than it would have without scaling wind generation.

Johnson is 100% black bin material.
Also, from my understanding, none of this effects the base in diego garcia, so what exactly is the problem?
Morning all. Two things to read on Greenland etc; Gordon Brown for us in the Guardian on defending the (sane) old world order that Trump seems intent on replacing with his nonsensical Board of World Peace.. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
There's lots to criticise the Biden administration for, but a key criticism must be why they didn't strengthen some of the broken guardrails when they had the chance.
Great article and also great to see you in The Guardian. Hope it's a regular gig.
Alternatively, use PDDP when posting so you can pay the VAT on this side.
Send via the company (hotel C) so it complies with IOSS, otherwise your friend might get hit with local VAT and service charges.
And Stevie Nicks NEVER kept her visions to herself. Never!
Is the Trump admin following a script written by @aiannucci.bsky.social
This would be hysterical if it weren't so scary.
@papercutsshow.bsky.social really sorry to hear you're closing up shop. Have really enjoyed your shows. Feels like all you needed was more time to get established.
Can someone tell Mcsweeney.
This new stance is not just “America first” but “America first and only”
Difficult to underestimate the damage this will do.

Trump seems to genuinely believe a trade imbalance is the same as a subsidy. Bizarre.
They really need to stop fearing the Daily Mail.
Even in twitter's better days (before you could buy a louder voice) I saw few examples of mind changing. Occasionally though you could have a decent debate, but now all is drowned out by the blue tick army.
I assume you also didn't get into journalism to fight with blue tick trolls. Surely engaging with less foaming is more rewarding?
The problem with the US's presidential system is it's almost impossible to get him removed, regardless of how much it falls apart. They really need to rip up their constitution and start again.
Depressing how easily some take to overt racism once the behavioural bar is removed.
For a post to get community noted it must reach a critical mass. Disinformation strategies could be easily constructed wide and thin to avoid noting.
need more of this.... all the time....

This mess is *entirely* of Labour’s own making
In opposition they promised to end sleaze and tighten money in politics.
They could have laid out plans for this as soon as they got into office
Instead they prevaricated. And this is the outcome. So depressing
