VERY funny that Labour are being pointlessly cruel and haemorrhaging support from their base and yet none of what they're offering is ever going to be enough for the people whose approval they're seeking, WHO could have predicted it

i don’t think i’ve seen GOP congressional reps vote in numbers with democrats in about thirty years.
The House voted 426-0 against senators like Lindsey Graham getting a payout from taxpayers for being investigated. A huge, unanimous rebuke of Graham & Thune.
House unanimously rebukes Thune’s controversial subpoena measure
Every House Republican voted to overturn a provision that was seen as an unseemly payout to their Senate colleagues.

This is what I always found hilarious about the meme. Rogan and his bros imagine themselves to be the strong men responding to hard times when they’re the weaklings helping to turn (relatively) good times hard.
I was once again struck by just how utterly pathetic the loser-men of our ruling class currently wrecking society are and I remembered the fashy meme. They, the fashy men sharing it, the contemptible losers of our ruling class, are the weak men. It resonates with them cos they see themselves in it.

I would put it like this. Minority communities and the majority of the majority community have integrated v.well. However, a significant minority of the majority community and a significant majority of the political class are stubbornly refusing to integrate, and that is where the real problem lies.
Fundamentally, the UK is a massive success story on integration and most of the anxiety around it from the right should be treated as in insincere concern trolling it actually is.
Remember integration? That thing voters "really, really" care about? Where's that in the latest plans?

I've been reading about a kid, the son of a cobbler from a small provincial town, who got grants and scholarships to enable him to go to Cambridge, where he went on to do post-grad studies. But that was 450 years ago and the kid was Christopher Marlowe. He probably had it easier than kids do today.
If I ever make £millions, I'm going to set up a bunch of Football-style academies for academic subjects
Send a load of scouts out to state schools to recruit working class kids with aptitudes for biology, history, physics, writing, music etc, and support the crap out of them, help them thrive.

They are dying for nothing. Nothing but ego and vanity and small mindedness by anti abortion activists who are too busy saving the idea of innocent life to care about the lives they ruin.

Women are dying because of the way anti-abortion laws were written. These deaths were predictable, predicted, and above and beyond any intrinsic trade off of preventing the termination of viable pregnancies in healthy women.
If you wait for people to be actively dying in front of you before you treat them, some of them will die for your sloth. This math yields for no man.

No matter which way you cut it, this has become a very unpopular government - now at Johnson on resignation day and Corbyn in mid-2019 levels of dislike, including among their own voters.
Only Truss-tier is yet to be reached, though with Reeves already at Kwarteng levels, it's not out of sight.

Keir Starmer's net favourability rating falls to its lowest level to date (-54, 16-17 November), within the margin of error of Jeremy Corbyn (-55) and Boris Johnson's (-53) lowest ratings
