Family cannot be the basis of an equitable society.
If you love your family that's great and it shouldn't be taken away from you.
But for everyone to have a chance to flourish an external, democratic system of support has to exist, supporting people cradle to grave.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

id go for a legally enshrined right for all kids to learn about variance in gender & sexuality (historically and in terms of how ppl do it now) and their right to choose puberty blockers/trans healthcare as a generally available pathway so nobody has to be stuck with lifelong preventable dysphoria

The logic of Mahmood’s remarks is, “if you like this Labour policy, you will also like the Reform policies that come next” and that’s true.
This is political blackmail dressed up as pragmatism. Justifying their nasty policies with “Reform will be worse”.

…this just resonates more than introvert. Introvert just sounds like I am quiet and enjoy my own company, ‘she’s an inside cat’ implies I might well run outside if given the chance, but will immediately get lost, am ill -suited to fend for myself, and need to be lured home with food.

Heat pumps are hugely expensive, and the wait times to get one installed versus a boiler are lengthy. Without subsidies, the only people willing to get one will be proper environmental die-hards who have a lot of cash on their hands, which isn't a big population. Another Labour disaster.

If you want to know how much this is about protecting women and children and how much of it is about surveillance and removing bodily autonomy from people then remember this is the party who are totally down with friend of Jeffery Epstein Peter Mandelson.
Hidden in the controversial about UK "choking ban" proposal are a host of even more egregious proposals that could:
* make camming illegal
* redefine escort ads as pimping
* render model contracts unenforceable
* criminalize discussions of teen sexuality
