What I'm saying is that I need him to swim the Thames and order Emmerdale to make 3d printer farms in their gardens

I remember The Skin I Live in primarily as the movie that delayed my egg hatching for about 5 years?

Had Keir Starmer quit in 2024, he'd of been seen as a great leader with unrealised potential. If he quit in 2025 he'd of been seen as a poor leader who knew his limits and to put the movement before his ego.

It is now 2026

Well yes Joel that's my point

I think the massive nature of districts and their constituents kinda allow people to embed themselves

Remove their right to kill

The best part of Scott Pilgrim - which both adaptations leave out- is when Scott fights 'Nega-Scott' but realises he can only defeat him by recognised the evil him is actually part of him, and the bad shit he did to others is not some separated entity but simply him all along

Don't have to hand it to Jonathan Brash, but it is notable a Blue Labourite has just come out and said it - and almost certainly more will join him

they are calling it the perfect summary of the "keep men out of women's sports" movement

Enough MRP Jesus fucking Christ

that is SIX AND A HALF TIMES the Arts & Humanities Research Council budget… spent on a technology specifically designed to replace workers in creative industries.

The absolute contempt this labour party has for people who actually work for a living…

I think the writer's a hack tbh

it's always fun when the character of a work says something you can immediately clock will be their downfall in three episodes

the Mandelson and Doyle stuff does just leave me feeling like Starmer could maybe take being friends with pedophiles a bit more seriously

not that this has never been the case, national/local politics has always been intertwined, but I do think the failure to address the incentive flip that causes MPs to win or lose on local issues verses Councillors winning or losing on national issues is an underrated problem with the Satrmer Gov

and the media, reflecting this decline in the independence of councils, treat local government elections more as a barometer on national policy and the public, recognising the declined importance in what a council actually does, view it more as a scheduled referendum on the goverment of the day

a big part of this is that Councils now are not what Councils were even 20 years ago - the loss of financial independence and function as the primary service providers for a local community leaves them essentially as delivery mechanisms for central government where you just vote the manager

he'll be made a Peer and people will pretend to be surprised when he goes full Mark Latham

tbf Harold Wilson did try to get a chat show, anything is possible

the only time I want to see him is the news reels of when he is at the Cenotaph or hauled in front of a Parliamentary Committee to answer for being a corrupt freak

I hope when Starmer resigns he just disappears from public life, I cringe to think what the memoirs will look like and if he tries (like many politicians before him) to have some kind of spotlight life or 'elder statesman' role

Rea wrote the original story, in the new issue Rae is fucking off to meet Polanski, pure art

one of the key reasons for devolution in England is to give people in Yorkshire or the South East the same kind of attitude Scotland does to a GE (yeah but how will this play out in the Parliament in two years?)

congrats!

or to put it another way I just don't see Starmer getting off the tracks on his own accord until he recognises the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train

Like I'm almost certainly just dooming and I'm sure the scope of defeat Thursday after next will be insurmountable, I just also feel like if Labour MPs are willing to construct elaborate fantasies to deny the impulse of removing him, then they might also just build another one to justify him staying

I do have this cold feeling in my stomach that he might survive the locals purely thanks to inertia, despite another election where he's made it an explicit referendum on his leadership

[david cameron] it's seemples

Biopic sur Michael Jackson : le film sur le roi de la pop est une hagiographie ridicule d’un artiste dépeint en génie immature, expurgée de toutes les accusations de pédocriminalité.
