The tweet that said ‘Britain is a strange place where people think 100k is a high salary but £1m is a normal price for a family home’ lives rent free in my head forever. Pretty clearly is something psychological about it that the boundaries haven’t moved despite v large inflation since then.

It said it would be in January, but still working for me. I think it will have to be a mobile app like thunderbird for me

The beautiful Adelaide Oval during the only ODI of the West Indies tour, December 20th 1975. I was lucky enough to visit the ground in December and while massively changed it remains somewhere every cricket fan needs to visit. (Patrick Eagar)

Captn. Ferrers telling me, among other Court passages, how about a month ago, at a ball at Court, a child was dropped by one of the ladies in dancing, but nobody knew who, it being taken up by somebody in their handkercher.

The mask slips and the Trumpish petulance of authoritarian mouth-breathers comes out.
The full tweet is even worse given that it's a journalist, on behalf of a political party, threatening to use public funds to discipline a university because of a decision made by one of its student societies.

I am sure there is a point in there, but I don't think it is strong enough to get out from under the metaphor

This is pretty menacing.
Sarah Pochin wrote to Bangor's university student run debating society requesting that she attend to "answer questions from students."
When they said "no" Reform rolled all it's tanks onto the lawns and said they'll cut funding to the entire university if they win.

Maybe Starmer is looking at his personal ratings, and at the legislation that has been passed, and thinking "I don't think I deserve this". In which case a clear out is probably in order. Hopefully he'll decide to be more Keir and be hung for a sheep if that's the outcome, rather than Morgan's lamb

This is fair, but why has Starmer got the lowest ratings ever? Seriously, what mistakes have caused this ebb? The comms seems to be a big problem, along with relentless Chris Mason style "It's a day ending in Y, what is Starmer going to to do counter the big beasts of Reform"?
Getting really tired of "this is all a media concoction"...
Starmer has the lowest approval rating of any PM in history bar Truss. Senior ministers are openly and unsubtly positioning. His Chief of Staff, Director of Comms and Cab Sec have all resigned on the same day.
I mean come on...

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.
