I do think you can probably short circuit a lot of this by recognising that popular imagination of those groups of voters were women, and neither of the major parties can really cope with that threat to their masculine energy...
As a Labour MP said to me last week: ‘obviously if you get 34 per cent you need to ask “how to get more votes” and we basically looked at three groups of voters, for different reasons it offended the egos in No 10 to go after them, and here we are’.

I'm not plugged in at all but is there any hype for this movie?
Din Djarin acquires “the same model” of Razor Crest in THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU as he had previously, confirms Jon Favreau.
“He's in a Razor Crest now, which is the ship that he originally had. He's in the same model of ship.”

Second, accusations of collective complicity in sexual crimes against children feeds an already dangerous vortex of popular psychosexual paranoia, fed by a firehose of internet propaganda. That risks a v dangerous sorcerer's apprentice situation.

Sultana is taking this line a lot and I have two worries about it: first, it trivialises a horrifying and serious situation and reduces it to a factional smear, with some infantile pleasure in using the epithet. Cf the 'besties with a nonce' line in the chamber.
Utterly moronic comment.

Also fascinated to know whether that staffer would ever call a woman a chick / a trans woman a chick with a dick to their face, other than when talking to a journo and trying to make out that they're some blokey salt of the earth prick.
