Not great to see the establishment coming out swinging, but this one is easy to re-frame. Tories have cut other budgets, meaning the NHS spending is becoming a bigger fish in a shrinking pond. The figure that matters is spending per head of population, and we're still below the rest of Europe on that figure.

Also try to remember that all you get from social media is someone’s “highlight reel” - just the good stuff. Nobody is gonna post on Facebook that they feel like a fuckup today but that doesn’t mean that nobody does. Also yes sometimes a major cause of depression can be being surrounded by arseholes.

The people on my feed do, but that's because we're mostly all part of the same larp community and are at least casual friends we share a drink with several times a year, if not good friends.

Every day at work is awful drudgery and also my boss is on my Facebook so yay. I know you can hide posts from certain people but I can’t be arsed so I just don’t post unless I’m on holiday or have something amusing or whatever.

At least not yet I've had similar problems to this one mate, and I echo the folks saying sever. If they're no friends of yours why are you even Facebook / Twitter friends? Any friend worth your time doesn't need to see you on social media anyway: I quit recently and other than being the insufferable oval office who keeps mentioning it out of the blue I've seen an improvement in the friendships I actually have and value.

Also ditching facebook is quite possibly the one single action that improved my mental health more than anything else You can still keep messenger working and nuke everything else if you need it for family or work bits. It's loving poison for the psyche, ditch it.

notaspy posted:Shouldn't we be aiming higher than making workers positions stronger in a capitalist market? Shouldn't we be aiming at getting rid of capitalism? How do you propose to do that? Unless you plan to start firing the nukes you aren't going to get rid of capitalism within the term of the next labour government. Whereas actual job creation has a lasting effect on worker welfare by actually letting them bargain, that's worker empowerment. Simialrly McDonnell's suggestions about cooperativizing companies and infrastructure are good for the same reason. Labour should be trying to use the government to provide the services people need and further attempt to protect what they build from subsequent government action by the next tory government, which will happen.

I will evangelise for deactivating your Facebook account or at the very least removing the Facebook and Twitter apps from your phone with a fervour previously seen only in raw food dieters. Don't keep that stress on your phone. If you have a laptop or some real computer at home then get rid of the email app as well; emails are supposed to be asynchronous 'reply at your leisure' deals, not anxiety-inducting fuckers that blerp at you when you're out trying to enjoy a burger in peace. If you're posting in this thread I guarantee you're not important enough to be getting emails that need an immediate response wherever you are.

Unless you plan to start firing the nukes you aren't going to get rid of capitalism within the term of the next labour government. notaspy posted:Then there is taking the Tory heartlands. This is where my thoughts of being a more open in what is meant by working people comes in. I think labour does need to change it's language to be a bit more specific about this type of service worker being the target of it's reforms. Like I'm sure I'm not alone ITT in saying that it'd be awesome if they went all in anticapitalism, but I'm struggling to see a tankie for the middle-classes manifesto? I suppose they could go for something like "To secure for the workers by hand or by brain the full fruits of their industry and the most equitable distribution thereof that may be possible upon the basis of the common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange, and the best obtainable system of popular administration and control of each industry or service."
