“I don’t think safe routes is the answer”

Honestly, in terms of outstanding British actors Starmer is up there with Christian Bale.

This was Sir Remain stop Brexit human rights until 10 minutes ago.

In many cultures parents help ‘guide’ children towards certain romantic choices. They focus on compatibility, status & faith.

In the liberal West this is seen as an infringement of personal autonomy (I agree).

But it’s apparently good when an AI does the exact same thing…

Love how everyone in the comments is saying “we’ve regressed, 16 year olds aren’t like this anymore” but if you had a 16 year old on the news today saying that our ideological enemies aren’t that bad and they’d like to learn more about them they would get absolutely harangued.

The exchange between Grace and Nandy is fascinating. Nandy effectively asking Grace, a commentator and author, to “take responsibility” for Labour’s general election performance in 2019 by Nandy, a Labour MP since 2010. Left-wing pundits are scrutinised more than politicians!

These kinds of speculation annoyed me when it was Corbyn, but what the hell…

I reckon first briefing was Matt Pound, who has now seriously pissed off Sue Gray (who is probably realising the Labour right factionalists literally can’t help themselves)….

Get a higher % of graduates to sack off McKinsey & HSBC and instead found startups and 🇬🇧 would be cooking

Yep. There's a great line 'if you want something to not be done then make it someone's part-time job'. Organisations know this...

That is literally the basis for local government in this country!

If the UK had a ceremonial President - like Ireland, Germany and Italy - I suspect they would look and sound like this.

Not my politics - but why is the centre and centre right so utterly resistant to that?

Even if you keep a massively slimmed down monarchy it makes sense.
