The Venn diagram between people who think you should get fired for using the R word and people who think you should be able to euthanize your child if it has Down syndrome is almost a circle

Remember that story from a few months ago about the disabled guy who did a 9 month internship as a bin man then applied for the actual (paid) position when he was finished and got rejected twice? Yeah he was a canary in a coal mine. We are about to see that on a national scale

You can blame labour and immigrants all you want, but young people were telling the british right over and over that jobs were getting harder to find.

And all their got back was utter disdain and being told they were 'lazy' unlike retirees who walked into jobs.

My deal to marry Zendaya is 95% done. The remaining 5% of negotiations are focused on telling her and getting her to accept.

A farmer dies in April 2026.

His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847.

The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle.

On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify.

In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable.

The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft.

The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let.

A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up.

The Treasury collects £140,000.

The land never produces British food again.

we've had 40 years of systematically eradicating community life in the uk, ripping up policies and schemes that help young people get a start in life, ignoring the escalating environmental disaster we are in, but no the kids are anxious bc of social media

Buses are shit, driving lessons cost a fortune, insurance companies screw you if you pass, younger people are screwed on minimum wages lower than their colleagues…it’s not a bedroom generation, it’s a locked in generation who can’t afford the key to get out.

Judges be like "Yes, you raped three girls and staved in the head of a man who tried to stop you, but in your defence you are unintelligent and thuggish, have no impulse control and believe rape is a good thing. So I am releasing you back into society."

He told the police he couldn't breathe. He told the police he'd been stabbed.

British police officers handcuffed him and arrested him while he was choking on his own blood because the magic word - "racism!" - was invoked.

The architects of Brexit were the voters. Farage rode that wave. PLEASE understand this.

[Genozo @Genozo]

They're not counting on anyone voting for it. They've convinced themselves that populism is destroying western civilization.

[Andrew Lilico @andrew_lilico]

These Labour MPs seriously believe the UK's future lies as part of the euro, the Schengen Area & the Single European State? And they believe UK citizens are going to vote in favour of that - & do so repeatedly enough for it to actually happen?

What Andy Burnham doesn't seem to understand is that the sort of path he wants to take (which might be called ‘Old Labour’) is contingent on national and economic sovereignty—Brexit—so that the State has the power to act, unfettered by supranational organisations. Jeremy Corbyn understands this completely (yes, he almost certainly voted Leave). Andy Burnham wants the power to re-nationalise utilities and legislate for workers. And yet he wants to re-join the EU, which will bind him to a regulatory regime which will militate against (or prevent entirely) the sort of pro-British business and privilege for British workers he says he wants.

Starmer is the Final Breed of UK Politician. He doesn’t even pretend to try to appeal to voters or to have legitimacy; he just navigates the system and rules via procedure, legalism, and obfuscation. All to accomplish……absolutely nothing.

[Ælþemplær @Aelthemplaer]

What Sir Keir Starmer has taught us about politics is that you can simply say no and do whatever you want.

[Wolfgang Munchau @EuroBriefing]

Rejoining the EU will not in and of itself increase economic growth in the UK, just as leaving the EU did not reduce it. Brexit was largely a macroeconomic non-event. This could be different if the UK were to rejoin the EU with a positive agenda for growth and deregulation, and about strengthening the EU’s role in the world. I am not holding my breath here. Remain was a scare campaign in 2016. What I have seen from Rejoin advocates so far is essentially a version of the same.

You are lying. It was our boomer PARENTS who insisted we go to college. "You better go to college if you don't want to end up flipping burgers."

Then we graduated during the Great Recession and our parents rugpulled us by saying "what you think you're TOO GOOD to flip burgers?"

[Raphael Dogg @raphaeldogg]

Sorry but this is nonsense. Harman is considered an aristo Blairite apparatchik with a very dodgy history, and Brown an ernest but misguided apologist for neoliberalism. Doubtless the people you speak to in Westminster think differently, but they are not the Labour movement.
