@aurelmondon It seems the commentariat are reducing history to bad = 1970s, good = 1980s

Funny given Gordon brown just said 1950s-1970s were a downward spiral, making it out like the whole postwar boom was a failure and Thatcherism the only solution

[Thomas Compton (he/him)🌈 @unbrokencocoon]

@aurelmondon It's shocking no journalists are asking Tory MPs how many of you believe US 2020 election was fair, and whether they think the next UK election will be fair

It's clear Truss is laying the groundwork for being what Blair is to the Labour Party, after the next election

@lastpositivist On Reddit HENRY (cursed group I was lurking in) I saw someone pay their nanny like 60k a year

Like more than a senior teacher in a school salary

Damn, should have done a PhD in nannying...

@Taj_Ali1 @lottelydia It's hard to think this isn't personal for the SNP, both in supporting the right to independence and Humzas connection

Although it does help them cover over their attacks on Labours windfall tax, which is utterly embarrassing

But there's no use for purity politics

@flying_rodent Bernie's whole approach is so strange, he's enough anti-Israel to be hated by Israeli politicians (low bar), but holds back criticism for some reason...

@mypalfootfoot7 Yes the 'Allies' took Berlin, most British and Americans literally think their armies took Berlin and it wasn't the Soviets...

@mypalfootfoot7 Gov budget is like a household, if you give your kids more money, they buy more goods, which nets you more cash, they have more money, which nets you more cash

In this analogy, really sounds like they hate their kids and that tax is either unimportant or illegitimate

[Thomas Compton (he/him)🌈 @unbrokencocoon]

@flying_rodent I guess no mention of all the independents? (I'm from Wellingborough) and there are plenty of locals running on Left wing platforms -notably it had a strong Left Labour party until everyone was purged in 2019

But I guess the 'real story' is Reform being there...

@logicsofworlds Introduced new America to my work is a nice way of saying Zizek's first, and best books, rely entirely on Badiou's politics

@aaronzwinter Reminds me of old industrial paternalism, where employers would provide housing, then use that to make sure if workers went on strike, broke some moral rule (such as drinking in bournville), not only would they lose their job, but also their house

[Thomas Compton (he/him)🌈 @unbrokencocoon]

@AyoCaesar But if not from corporation tax or taxing high earners, where is that money going to come from? Since they want 'tight fiscal rules', are they suggesting austerity to fund climate policies? (As opposed to the de facto austerity they already promised)

@Arbeit_Fish But they won't be satisfied, they will go full remainer, all problems will be solved by the EU

And lose their mind when Starmer does Rwanda but courts litigate each case, to throw red meat to culture warriors

[Thomas Compton (he/him)🌈 @unbrokencocoon]

@aurelmondon The use of "bring their families" not "bring their children" really sells this policy

@mypalfootfoot7 Tories love nothing more than ruining the chances of single parents

[Thomas Compton (he/him)🌈 @unbrokencocoon]

@logicsofworlds So Zizek's last 2 books?

[Thomas Compton (he/him)🌈 @unbrokencocoon]

@Arbeit_Fish I mean it's the Latin American style of decol which is sadly super liberal. Some great Latin American Socialists, but sooo much of the popular scholarship from there, and much of the politicians, have never really been close to Left

[Thomas Compton (he/him)🌈 @unbrokencocoon]

@mypalfootfoot7 It's the same as the Telegraph saying "BBC= bad cos everyone who works there is private schooled"
