Is it really that simple? Are they really that bad at this? Labour have been dismal over the last year and a half but, like every other strategic move, this week's attack on the Greens is 3 months late and is still wide of the mark.
Being stuck in an in-fight from 6 years might explain a lot.

FWIW, the NATO line worked on Corbyn which is why I suspect that Starmer thinks that it will work on Polanski.
Ahh a low-salience issue and then a vote for Bart is a vote for anarchy. You can see the political geniuses behind the present disaster at work.

The thing is, feminists have long had fluent, evidence-backed arguments showing that breaking free of essentialised gender roles benefits everyone, including men and boys who may be feeling isolated.
But we live in societies structured on ignoring women, so instead we hear from these guys...

This reminded me of a Scrap Saturday sketch where Gay Byrne was complaining about doing the Toy Show:
"And what about the Billy Barry Kids? One more nauseating than the next, with showbiz mothers all hoping their child will be the next Twink... One mutation in a generation is enough, thank you."

It's Toy Show night and that means I'll be spending all day thinking about the Toy Show Musical. We don't think or talk about it nearly enough. A load of suits thinking they can crack the big scale musical market using a festive edition of a chat show? Come on!
THEY THOUGHT IT WOULD RUN EVER YEAR!!

I've signed up to do an #audax tomorrow and I'm really not looking forward to it. Like, I know I could just not do it, it's December in Ireland after all, but what would that say about me.

In 1999, a woman named Jessica Gonzales sought and obtained an order of protection against her physically abusive husband ("AH"), who had repeatedly threatened to kill her and their three children. The order included language specifically limiting when and where AH was allowed to see the children.

Knew I recognized this name and lady.
I interviewed her five years ago when she livestreamed herself tearing down a rack of masks in a Target and called herself "QAnon's spokesperson" when she got arrested.
She told me she was bipolar and was seeking treatment.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.
And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.
No more.

I knew a man, now sadly passed, who was tortured by #SoldierF on #BloodySunday. He was a lovely, compassionate, thoughtful and considered man; a model human being in every respect. A polar contrast to sadistic, murderer who walked free from court today.
