it is very funny that cold beans corbyn, manhole appreciator jeremy combi, is less saddled with being boring than suhkier lawyerman.

it's almost like having any position, any thoughts outside of utterly indistinguishable politico droning, is better than the man who has been formed into a perfectly political object in the westminster rock tumbler.
still think sometimes about that mail 'expose' of corbyn's european holidays in the 1980s that was like 'he denounced vienna's beautiful historic estates as "capitalist", and took no pleasure in medieval towns'

i've no idea if they'd actually do it, but the i guess the logic would be that Serious and Sensible starmer being exposed as a liar and rule-breaker would do him serious damage, whereas johnson could apparently rip a baby apart with his teeth on live tv and then just stare silently into the camera with blood dripping down his maw, and a good part of the electorate would go 'oh well that's not great, i don't like that he did it at all, but i suppose it's boris - he's just like that, i'm more focused on whether he can deliver on his promises'

yeah i try not to bring cspam doom-posting to the UKMT, but like here's the texas attorney general signalling he's going to enforce laws that mandate life in prison for any doctor convicted of involvement in an abortion (the guy has been indicted and arrested for securities fraud but the case against him mysteriously hasn't proceeded in 5+ years); this is following on from his directing social services to start pressing charges against any parents of trans kids they find are receiving any gender-affirming care for child abuse
https://twitter.com/KenPaxtonTX/status/1540339215581470723meanwhile, in missouri, where they also instantly criminalized abortion within minutes of the ruling, the leading candidate for the senate election in november is the former governor who was forced to resign after performing non-consensual s&m acts on his mistress and whose ex-wife has documented evidence of him abusing her and their children. he's currently 10 points clear in the polls, and here's a campaign ad he recently put out about dealing with members of his own part who he finds insuffiently loyal
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZZ2Y6fAq8o

also the supreme court still has a few more decisions to come next week where they're going to rule the government can't set any limits on environmental pollution, and allow mandatory christian prayers in state schools

really never thought i'd ever move back to the UK, but i'm half-seriously looking at ways to scrape together funds that would get my spouse a visa (probably just in time for the gulf stream to collapse haha)

yeah, between stuff like this, Rowling backslapping on twitter with the christian fascist filmmaker, and those 'losing abortion access is a small price to pay to defeat the trans menace' takes frim the GC sphere, i feel more and more like we're going to see at least a serious attempt to introduce the US-style of red-hot, religious culture war to the uk, with the people pushing for it hardest being the reactionary wing of the Tories allied with 'radical feminists' :psyduck:

point: the severe effects of climate change are no longer hypothetical, they are already here, faster and more extreme than even the worst case predictions of 10 years ago. unless we adopt the strongest measures possible, the future of society, of humanity itself is at stake
