Reading through Reddit threads in which leftists/progressives express their bewilderment/confusion/fury at working class English voters for casting their lot in with Reform, one of the things I'm starting to understand is this:

They simply do not understand how a government could help working-class people in any other way besides giving them benefits, handouts, and other free things.

Their entire mental architecture is premised upon the premises that
1. Working class people are poor
2. The only way for them to not be poor is for the state to give them free stuff
3. So left-wing parties need to promise them lots of free stuff

Then, when these working-class voters instead vote for right-of-centre parties who instead promise an economy in which they can build a career, start their own business, make a financial success of themselves and start a family, they're confused.

Because, again, in their mental architecture, what the working class are *supposed* to want is free benefits from the state.

But what they *actually* want is a fair shake at making their own way in the world, making money, getting on in life.

And the left simply doesn't understand that what these voters want from the state is an economy in which they can actually do this.

@tweethue Hi, why is the amazing iOS Hue app not available to install on the M1 processor Macs? It seems you have deliberately prevented this in the AppStore. Is this coming soon? It would really help

[dongennl @dongennl]

@tweethue Hi there, no, I'm talking about Desktop Apple Macintosh computers with new M1 processors (Apple Silicon Macs), they can run iOS apps, but you won't let them. See here: https://t.co/NUQS1rsTMv

Love that we have vaccinated over 500,000 people yet others in Europe have done 0 - well done Britain- we are better making our own decisions #Brexit

Did the EU not see this line in the Withdrawal Agreement they signed?? "Accordingly, nothing in this Act derogates from the sovereignty of the Parliament of the United Kingdom." (Section 38) #EU #Brexit

BBC statement on the Cummings coverage: "As it was, we believe the introduction we broadcast did not meet our standards of due impartiality."
Strangely, nobody calling for their resignation.

Did you know that the UK has now performed more tests (38,040) per million population than Germany (37,584)?

If not, that’s hardly surprising.

Comparisons with Germany went out of the window as soon as they no longer fit the bash-Boris agenda.

Twice this century it fell to the English speaking peoples to defend world peace against in wars of European origin. The great British - American alliance led the way - morally as well as militarily - in both world wars. https://t.co/A3edYffSkM

The usual screw up at @DPD_UK despite promising on their website to hold package at pickup point for 7 days, they send it back to seller after 2. Call centre (Conor) admits mistake and even though package is still with DPD in transit no solution, contact the seller. #passthebuck
