Fortunately younger members of the family were on hand to a. sort out the best deal (essentially impossible if you don't have the internet, which at 96 she doesn't) and b. have a whip round to foot some of the additional cost. How many other people won't be so fortunate; if the temperature drops for any significant period people will genuinely freeze this winter. Can't help but feel all the polling collapses might have an awful lot more to do with hard realities than any awareness of Westminster intrigues

When I were a lad the only time a PM ever made an address to the nation it was to announce their loving off. Praying that those days will again return.

Rather than some baroque conspiracy, it seems much more likely that a few people from MdR were tasked with running into him at a pub, going 'hey we're lawyers too,' buying him a few drinks, stifling the looks of concern about how many he's getting through, and then just convincing him he should settle. Which does make him the perfect centrist candidate, since he strikes me as being entirely gullible and will believe whatever his new friends are telling him. Like the old footage of him at university where he was appearing at pro-palestine gigs and saying things that seemed good. I suspect he was only saying those things because that's what everyone around him was saying. Now he's surrounded by melts and wreckers, and they're the ones being nice to him, so he's doing that. And because he has no actual ideology apart from "I want to be in charge and it's my turn," he has no answer or rebuttal when Luke Nukem turns up with a foundationally dumb idea dressed in the rhetoric of sounding intelligent. He is essentially a man who's entire political ideology is "oh OK, that sounds good." Again, if there's any MI5 inflection on his politics it's far more likely that they just got a few undercover spooks to set up a dinner party, invite him to it, and then talk his ear off about how bad the dreaded left are. Keir Starmer is basically Baldrick in that episode of Blackadder where they try to buy a rotten borough, but as soon as he gets to the commons the whigs take him to one side and tell him how to vote instead.

I don't imagine your version of Keith becoming Director of Public Prosecutions, at the very least. Maybe if you've got some well-connected I think it's more likely he's a pretty awful person who fits in well with other groups of pretty awful people, like "lawyers who think the Police aren't racist" and "liberals"

Looks like Boris' address is going to be about COP, so probably not starting a trade war, today at least.

goddamnedtwisto posted:https://twitter.com/CouncilCulture/status/1458439503555739655 Two things strike me here: 1) It's another entry on the list of "people who deflect criticism by saying they're actually pretty left wing, just they're the sensible sort of lefty who doesn't like Jeremy Corbyn and then just happen to end up on Gammon TV complaining about the Woke Snowflakes With Their Eighty Genders And Communist Broadband". 2) A selling point of this show is that the news stories are 'infuriating'. The audience actively want to be annoyed by stuff. They want to sit in their homes and have fury beamed into their eye sockets. Madness.

I'm subscribed to Novara on YouTube, but all their video titles are basically "ANOTHER thing to get MAD about" and I just end up rolling my eyes and scrolling past. My anxiety levels are much more under control since I started doing this in general.

A few others that i watch/watched have turned into copy & paste click merchants, "A Different Bias" is probably the sanest one i still watch. Though even he does the odd bit of deflection.

No, I agree with Boris! The UK is not corrupt. Massive foreign money laundering, tax haven shenanigans and MPs being paid by companies on whose interests they'll later vote are all entirely legal - ergo, not corrupt!

My previous stance on Novara has been that Bastani has about 90% good takes and then the rest is melt poo poo, usually around giving some Tory MPs the benefit of the doubt or similar. Walker is about the same, and Ash has been consistently sound... until she wrote (or interviewed?) for Unherd the other day. And yes, I've noticed the awful clickbait titles. Haven't watched any of their vids since shortly after the election. Now I'm basically done with them. Speaking of melts:  This could be interesting. I wonder if there's actually been any reflection from the Kimono Killer, or if he's still just fundamentally a comfortable liberal (I know what my money's on). Still, his work with the Good Law Project does seem to be actually good, and he's also very good on trans rights, so I never fully know what to think of him.
