I was going to say "what have we become" but the truth is we've always been this
Such a desperately sad headline. I feel like every time politicians think of something like this, they should go through the mental exercise of replacing the words "asylum seekers" with "Jews fleeing the Nazis" and see how that resonates with their conscience.

MTG is pathologically incapable of sincerity. If you think she sounds sincere right now, that's because she understands that it's politically expedient for her to appear introspective and contrite at present.

I’m going to be honest with you: The headline is appalling, but the piece, which indeed has an absolutely bizarre tone of nostalgia, is worse.

It is IMO absolutely undeniable that the student protesters of 2011 were 100% correct about the disastrous consequences of austerity, and all of the smart wankers of politics and commentary who showered hatred upon them were catastrophically wrong. Have you seen anyone who matters acknowledge this?
A lot of questions from this: why would the Tories deliberately vandalise the public realm? Why would the press cheer them on in doing so, and shower hate on those who opposed it? Why would the Tories then deliberately fuck the public finances, and why would everyone pretend they hadn’t done it?
We can be much more succinct about what happened here: everyone knew the Tories had fucked the public finances, a lot of it deliberately, and that taxes would have to go up. This is why the lads were so raging at the Tories for lying about the situation and attacking Labour on it, in Election 2024.

When it was revealed during the pandemic that autistic individuals were having DNR orders put on file I broke entirely.
That it is still going on for some is terrifying.
Disabled people's lives are not disposable or worth "less" than someone else.

I warned - over and over again - that Keir Starmer would be a disastrous prime minister.

That most political journalists did not understand the obvious tells its own story.

I warned you Starmer would implode in office
I don't care if this sounds smug. I predicted what should have been obvious

You absolute fucking clowns.
Massive move in gilts on open. Looks like giving up almost half the gains from the last month. Terrible
I am excited to see the gilt market reaction to this news. Think it could be quite bad. A big chunk of the recent gilt rally was predicated on Labour showing they could hike the big taxes if needed and….well I guess that idea is dead.

If your politics have become “We must do fascism-lite, or the fascists will win”, then the fascists have already won.
This is political blackmail dressed up as pragmatism. Justifying their nasty policies with “Reform will be worse”.

I've spent more than a year wondering if the things they're doing that look really stupid could actually be part of some cunning long game strategy, but it must be a really, really long game cos there just seem to be ever more stupid things and as yet no indication of any strategy.
