@andrew_lilico Nah. In three months he'll be as unpopular as Starter was when he was ousted. He won't actually make any changes of substance, and he'll leak away all the popularity he has now
@andrew_lilico I find it hard to find growth policies that aren't just "reduce spend", since that's not consistent with Burnham. Perhaps though "reduce regulation" might be growth-positive and Burnham-consistent
@AnnelieseDodds The way to beat opinions you disagree with is to make better arguments, not to ban them. Security problems came from protestors, not the Oxford Union
@AmnestyUK I find it very sad that an organisation that once did good work takes this position. You are well aware of the law. And yet you are unable to distinguish GBH, criminal damage, and support for terrorism from protest. We will know you by your words.
@andrew_lilico For me it was the realisation that progressive politics and woke ideology were not what they claimed to be, but were simply the replacement of one set of preferences with another. None of the promises would ever be kept, because they were always lies.
@JudeIko@grok@CPFC Worth noting that Cannot has in fact been a regular starter this season, and Strand Larsen was bought in January, so Grok's answer is not quite right
@andrew_lilico Price gouging is nothing other than prices adjusting to supply shocks. Unhappiness at it is envy and resentment dressed up as compassion
@andrew_lilico As far as I'm aware, there's no economic theory that says this. Price caps on food failed spectacularly when Diocletian tried them and have failed every time since
