Well, I think maybe at this point we're just gonna have to accept that The Poor just don't want to make PowerPoints. C'mon, get it together, The Poor™!  some more of my usual waspish pin-sharp swiftian satire there this bit was also a self-deprecating joke I put this in because I'm not sure I trust people not to misread it made you look hah gottem

I'm sure if it had come out a majority for brexit then these titans of journalism would be sure to give the same caveats about the inaccuracy of twitter polls and not just paraded an equally meaningless figure around as if it meant anything

The polls mean nothing, people will change their minds when they feast their eyes on the wondrous opportunities it has brought (they're just out of frame).

FFS - 'keeping the heating off through ignorance'! 'open a window' - yeah right like when there is a problem with the exterior causing the black mould opening a window is really going to solve it.

Am I being unreasonably grouchy? We've spent weeks rightly condemning the likes of Beckham and Lineker and other millionaires for taking Qatari cash for promoting the World Cup, we've called out the milquetoast critique of the human rights abuses there that they think is all they need to do in order to be able to just talk football and leave the politics out of it, and we've called out advertisers and artists willing to lend their brand to this event. But now everyone who was with me on this in the lead up to the tournament seems to be watching the match like nothing is wrong. We laughed at Labour MPs who said they were "boycotting" the event by watching it at home rather than accepting freebie tickets and now everyone is acting just like them. It's infuriating. Am I just being an arsehole here or is this sticking in anyone else's craw?

I'm a football fan, but won't intentionally watch a minute of it. I can't tell anyone else what to do. poo poo, you can't even reliably tell people to vote for industrial action that could lead to better pay or working conditions, so asking them not to watch something that might help them relax at the end of the day is quite a lot. (Not that I ever find watching England relaxing, but different issue.)

It's 15.5C in my house. The heating has just kicked on for the first time since yesterday, and it'll go off in 30 minutes. My house is really poorly insulated but it is a mid-terrace. I wish all these people accusing others of performative coldness would give it a go for a month and see how they cope.

A friend of mine was telling me some relative of hers needs to apply for Universal Credit, but she wasn't sure how this works since said relative has been occasionally sending money back to the home country. Would the UC people frown upon such things? They probably would, right? Is there any solution that would allow for the relative to apply for UC and also occasionally send money abroad when they can? Or is this like turbo illegal, or will they get sanctioned and lose the UC, or how does it work

UC cares about income, not your spending. If you want to spend your £83 a week sending it abroad, thats up to you. If you are receiving income from abroad, however...

Good to know, cheers!  In other news, Brexit still isn't sorted, unsurprisingly. Now they might do some kind of trade deal with the EU... except all the other tories are against any deal at all, of course.

Interesting that the red team have started talking about democratic reform through abolition of the house of lords as it currently stands. Or sits. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-63692981 I'd heard that accession to the EU requires states to meet a minimum standard of democracy which the Westminster system doesn't meet. Apparently the EU aren't that fond of unelected elites and bureaucrats either. So this could be a good thing for several reasons. It paves the way for any future de-brexiting, highlights what a fuckup ye olde and anciente Westminster system actually is so we can improve it and gets shites like Iain McNicol out of their sinecures. Plus if they use the same opportunity to move the second chamber out to Birmingham or somewhere, it'll give them a chance of refitting the building before the wiring gives up.

Labour also uses the house of lords for all the same things the tories do, so I don't really see them abolishing it. Also, like, I don't think the lords is actually a problem with the UK? It is generally less stupid than the elected politicians, so replacing it with more elected politicians does not seem like it would make things better? Like yes at some point if you were building the ideal UK you would want to get rid of it, but in terms of actual problems in my lifetime I do not think the lords has caused any of them.
