I will give the TUC credit for one, and exactly one thing with this campaign. They’ve put together a video which simply shows the benefit of raising wages and the velocity of money. https://twitter.com/estibalizterron/status/1562326636841902080?s=21&t=gxyzEqRPxCZ_4z-g7ICgPA But to be very clear; that is all they get credit for.

On sky news the bellend armed forces minister said " That's for the new chancellor, and the new home Secretary to decide". Patel getting binned?

I thought she had, but reading the article fully (https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1639640/priti-patel-boris-johnson-liz-truss-leadership-race-prime-minister-ont) it just says she is 'likely' to back Truss. Very misleading headline and subheader.

An interesting article by a senior grauniad editor calling out Starmer for being a pussy about policy https://www.theguardian.com/comment...ritish-politics Apparently locked his dad in the house to try to stop him voting SDP over Labour in 1983 too, so maybe I'm predisposed to like him

Very misleading headline and subheader. Back in April Patel asked Truss (then in Foreign) for a loan of staff to handle visa applications for Ukrainian refugees and Truss told her to gently caress off. It's possibly the one time Patel ever tried to do anything humane or human and Truss stuck her with the blame for it not happening. There's no way Patel backs Truss unless Truss agrees to keep her in Home. And Patel definitely isn't going to back Sunak. She was spreading attack material against him just last month.

Huh, I didn't know that Corbyn visited Abbey Pumping Station, I've been there a few times. https://twitter.com/iliad1orig/status/1562396492798861312 That's a sewage pump, not a water pump though so [ignores all the accurate points he's making to invent wild lies about him wanting to pump sewage into homes because that's what socialism is and not what is currently happening]. Municipal public services are a good alternative to nationalized infrastructure run by far away government departments that don't care or private free market failure/theft.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Even when he does come up with nationalising as a solution, it comes with this brain bending caveat that it's not socialism because socialism doesn't work, and this works so it can't be socialism. Not bothered by what it's called. Just Do It. Privatisation was a word that had to be invented to describe Nazi economic policies. Maybe we could call renationalising "Denazification". Hey I'm just thinking out loud here.

Despite the only straightforward and viable solutions being the ones offered by socialism. To paraphrase Dan Hodges, when Corbyn wanted to do it, it was ideological and reckless. I want to do it because it's practical and necessary. The Left can't be right because they've been trained every day of their lives to reject the left. Prophecy can't fail, even when it does.

That then intersects with 3D printer libertarians, hackaday, open source people, John Perry Barlow Thought, loompanics, make your own IoTs etc. where it's not for everyone but there's at least something there. Then there's NFTs and crypto options of options and other poo poo where there's not even anything there and it's just line go up land, but there was a bagholder effect pushing a whole bunch of people to manufacture interest. Diamond hands, brah. The Metaverse has none of the appeal of even those. It's the senior management exercise from purgatory. The bit from Dante's Inferno that's just grey and under construction. A novelty 'joke' clock that does nothing but flash 12:00. Who is it even for?
