  • The only way for Labour to govern under first past the post is to appeal to the center.

    Unfortunately our country is disgustingly conservative and the right wing have always been far better organised, it probably helps they have the media on side.

    Starmer is actually doing a surprisingly ok job. The austerity he’s pushing is tedious as fuck but if he weren’t keeping an eye on economics we’d be drowning in hysteria about “magic money trees” and labour dragging the country in to debt.

    The employment rights bill will be an incredible improvement for working people. I wish it went a lot further but it’s a solid start.

    Unless labour support electoral reform we are doomed to an eternity of right wing government. Labour only got into power last year because reform split the vote, and very soon the reform and conservatives will merge together again.













  • Indeed.

    For many of us Harry Potter was a significant part of our childhoods. It’s a great story with a satisfying ending. There was incredible excitement for each book, and the films weren’t bad either.

    The world is already miserable enough I’m not willing to expunge something that has brought me joy.

    We absolutely should denounce JK Rowling and her abhorrent statements. I have no idea why people continue to give her a platform. She’s one of the names on my filter list because I refuse to let her vile thoughts be given any of my attention.
