Where do you begin with this? The fact that the best strategists in the NHS think only money can motivate behavioural change, the fact this will only be paid to people who already do this, or the fact that our taxes will pay this new tap of finance?

This deeply underplays what actually happened. The murder of Sam Nordquist took place over weeks and was considered by the police investigating to be the worst case they have ever come across in their careers.

The funny thing about Queer is that it has the narrative of a career downturn for Luca, yet every single person I know who saw it thinks it’s a masterpiece

Just a message to everyone telling young people to "toughen up" because you had it harder...
Fine. We'll cancel your winter fuel payments.
Toughen up. It's not that cold. Put a jumper on.

My son would like me to report that, re my earlier comments about his school allowing kids to take their ties off in the heat, he has not removed his, because 'standards must be maintained'. I've accidentally raised an upper class diplomat from 1925.

The fact that the first person to accuse Epstein of rape was a trans Latina who was treated as a joke by (right leaning) tabloid The New York Post should tell you everything

The median unionist opinion on Scotland is that it is an ungrateful, parasitic drain on the UK which must be kept around at all costs.

It's actually quite rare to see a wealthy person wearing a nice suit. This is because dressing well is more about knowledge than money, and wealthy people are typically not invested in learning how to dress well. I will give you some examples.

In slide one, we see two powerful, wealthy men, both in custom-tailored suits. Sunak's jacket is too short, both in the body and the sleeves. Bezos, who is pictured here on his wedding day (when he would have wanted to dress well), is wearing a custom dinner suit but with the wrong waistcoat. The low armholes are also causing his jacket to lift. A famous bespoke tailor in Milan said Bezos's outfit made her heart break.

In slides two and three, we see a high school art teacher and an electrician. They are not poor, but their vocations certainly place them several tiers below the former Prime Minister of Britain and one of the wealthiest men in the world. Yet, their clothes fit beautifully, and they are styled in a way that's thoughtful and coherent.

In slide four, we see a man who claims he's wearing a bespoke $20,000 suit from one of the finest tailoring houses on Savile Row. Next to him, in the same slide, is a man wearing a $300 Jos A. Bank suit. The $20k blue suit does not fit well because this man interjected too much during the fitting, insisting to his tailor that he make the suit tighter and shorter, which is why the garment is pulling and rippling all over the place. The other man, despite having more modest means, educated himself on how a suit should fit and achieved more with considerably less.

Online, you will find all types of influencers and writers hawking the latest trends and designer labels, telling you you have to buy such-and-such thing to have "aura." But in reality, money has very little correlation with style. There's no reason to assume that wealthy people can buy nice suits because it's not as simple as pulling out your credit card. You have to educate yourself a bit on the topic.

Just got back from abroad and this is definitely true. You don’t notice it until you’re seeing LGBT stuff celebrated openly in regular life and find yourself thinking “wow, is nobody trying to start a huge needless controversy over such an overt display of support?”

“there should be a general election if the prime minister gets replaced” is such yankification of british politics it annoys me

keir starmer is not a president, we did not elect keir starmer as prime minister, we elected the labour party regardless of who the leader is

yesterday in a pub in somerset i overheard a boomer lady say to her table “yes arabella listens to limp bizkit with her father”

2 mins later, with perfect comic timing, a girl of about 19 walks in and joins them, dressed in a huge overshirt, shin-length jorts and nike shox

Give it a month of Burnham's "ooh I'm just a lad from Manchester done good" gimmick and you'll all be yearning for the incomprehensible techno-surrealism of the Starmer era

Count Binface, despite his cringe, actually performs a vital constitutional role.

The UK PM is essentially omnipotent if they have a sizeable majority, they therefore require a degree of baked-in ritualistic humiliation to keep them from getting too uppity.
