Although I experienced all this day-to-day and know how the Tories have fucked this country up, this article really emphasises it.

This is a stonking great read. (H/T @nzkatya.bsky.social) But Bloody Hell I really had no idea quite how bad the Tory austerity was. Yet Luxon got practically no scrutiny about his visit to the UK & the various think tanks that authored this austerity. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

@samfr.bsky.social has been hacked in the other place. Easily one of the best independent UK political commentators. A must follow for anyone interested in UK politics - let’s get everyone here following him.

A very good point made in this thread. It explains a lot beyond Sunak's political inexperience

The question Who on Earth is advising Sunak? occurred to me rhetorically and then I realised that's actually a serious question and potentially comes back to how he got his break in the first rank of politics. Remember when Johnson/Cummings tried to impose a No10 team of advisors on Sajid Javid?

No shit. My dogs have more political nous than this moron

I think that Sunak has a clear plan for bold action #ITVdebate

D:Ream - Things Can Only Get Better (1993) (Official Video)m.youtube.com 'Things Can Only Get Better' was a slow burner to begin with; taking a few months to reach the Top 40 in the UK, and initially receiving position #24 in 1993. Peter Cunnah decided to remix and re-release the track, catapulting it to #1 for 4 weeks in 1994. The track was also used as the Labour Party's theme tune during their successful campaign in the 1997 General Election.

Just a reminder that the most decorated US military unit in history is the 442nd, a unit composed of Japanese Americans, who won their jaw-dropping 21 Medals of Honor, 9500 Purple Hearts, and 8 Presidential Unit Citations while their government put their families into concentration camps

A fascinating take, in that, if true, would mean, if we accept the account that Badenoch presents, would mean every single British prime minister from Walpole to Eden had the wrong idea about how to improve British power and prosperity.

Nicole Brown knew that her husband was going to murder her. She told people. She was failed not because domestic violence is “complicated,” or because “we can never know what goes on in a marriage from outside.” She begged for her life and was abandoned to her killer.
