Here's an (awful) old picture of me from 2011 which I am sharing only to tell you that I got the train to this town specifically and only to get this photo and then immediately got back on another train and left. That's the level of commitment I bring.

His progressive credentials are legion. Few realise that his ‘misbehaviour’ at the hotel was really a kind of actionist, anarchic prank on the illusionary nature of privilege and status. That the piece was interrupted before the ballroom finale, making plain the artists intentions, is a damn shame.

Can't help but think this is some kind of "What is the stupidest thing we can get support for?" test.

People complaining that we were still doing business up to the transfer deadline rather than doing it all right at the start like we were going to sign a Mattsson replacement *before* he got injured, and another striker before Sargent happened. #ncfc

I used to tell my students, who were almost always reflexively against UBI, that it'd take the bullets out of the gun. Imagine if employers had to make employment attractive? If they couldn't threaten you with hunger and homelessness? Or waste your time
Can we take a moment to really think about exactly what UBI would accomplish?
Universal Basic Income provides workers with leverage.
It would allow me to tell employers "sorry, this pay-rate is too low, I'm going to keep withholding my labor until your pay-rate improves."

This is a question on the level of "you live in your house, but the Prime Minister lives in 10 Downing St. How can you possibly be PM?"
#bbclaurak tries to get a gotcha. Zack, you refuse to fly. How can you be a candidate for high office if you'd refuse to ever get on a plane?
Well Laura, in that situation I'd get on a plane.
