For people who say scientists should decide : "Scientists themselves often disagreed on what to do.... politicians choose who to back". That's the reality of leadership. Science only provides recommendations and scenarios. Leaders determine priorities.

This Asda-Next-Birmingham-Tesco thing with "Equal pay for work of equal value" - surely no-one actually believes that's how things should work? I've never seen a single attempt to defend it. So why, given everyone agrees it's unutterably stupid, doesn't someone act to stop it?

Soon, no one passing this building will recall, that it was completed in 2026. Place is always more important than time when it comes to creating buildings.

What a statement. The UK state is still taking 40% of GDP, except of investing in its future we are spending it on cash transfers directly to people. And only 3/10 deciles are net contributors so the vast majority of the electorate are incentivised to keep the benefits coming.

Tribune and @graceblakeley appear to be in the studios of new owner the Islam Channel. When Tribune morally grandstand at Labour and about capitalism etc. remember their new owner's long history of controversy, including * Being fined Ofcom for promoting marital rape * Being fined by Ofcom for stating it is ok to murder people who disrespect the prophet * Advertising lectures by al-Qaida ideologue Anwar al-Awlaki * Being fined by Ofgem for The Andinia Plan, a one-hour documentary that examined an antisemitic conspiracy theory which originated in a neo-Nazi publication * Being fined for a fawning platforming of convicted electoral fraudster Lutfur Rahman.

@OzKaterji I had HT school teachers and theyd host after school events where they would spew the most insanely racist and fascist ideas. The greens are teaming up with them to fight the racists and fascists, except they dont realise how prevalent both are across the spectrum..

Head of the sectarian Islamist campaign group “The Muslim Vote” here given a platform to explicitly call for a Green-Islamist alliance to defeat Labour. This is the project Grace Blakeley and Oliver Eagleton are signed up to now, an alliance with people who support marital rape

@OzKaterji These people have never heard what hizb ut tahrir have said when they're not in the room, from how white people look because they eat pork (converts apparently have a golden glow) to women being uncovered deserve to be raped. It sounds horrifying & unreal except it is.

If you’re getting your political project approved by former Hizb ut-Tahrir figures should be horrifying to any progressive, but these fucking clowns are signing up to be the Turkeys voting for Christmas.

The Green Party’s Mothin Ali being another example of a political phenomenon that is now just too explicit to ignore. Corbyn’s Your Party endorsing a list of unapologetic Islamists another. They don’t even seem to have any idea that they are being used & played by the far-right

@consumerofmonch @vulpine2020 The infrastructure built by the victorians across trains, parks, sewers has lasted us centuries because they had the foresight to anticipate future needs, rather than merely keeping up. We need to get back to that mindset and we should not leave that simply to the private sector

Look at building rates in the 1930s before the state intervened. They were both higher than post war and vast majority private. A lot of post war, state housing was low quality and of the wrong type. The state caused the housing crisis - we need the state to get out of the way
Dil@baggins_dil

State used to build half the homes in the country. Private sector always built a similar amount to what it builds today. The main drop has come from the public sector ie local authorities building homes, managing social assets that it builds not just maintains.

@consumerofmonch @vulpine2020 Government can and has done amazing things, like the private sector. In fact most successful countries today have incredibly powerful state actors investing in infrastructure and thereby country's future, as opposed to us where we treat infrastructure as a cost with no benefits.

The NHS should not buy paper on the open market. That’s part privatisation. Instead there should be publicly owned NHS forests, state-run paper mills and a taxpayer-funded platoon of lumberjacks to produce the actual paper that doctors and nurses use.
Jeremy Corbyn@jeremycorbyn

As Health Secretary, Wes Streeting deepened the privatisation of our NHS and handed over our data to Palantir, a company involved in genocide. I am sure his friend Peter Mandelson is very proud. Time to reinstate our NHS as a fully public service — and kick Palantir out!

At one point my son and his friend kept looking for shortcuts to getting rich. Over and over I told them the way to do it is just to make something people want. If this is what I tell my own kids about getting rich, why won't politicians believe this is how a lot of people do it?

Man. I'm about to be 43 and I can actually feel myself falling out of my physical prime. No HRT and I've been able to fight it off through my late 30s and Early 40s by staying active, but not mid 40s ... I am starting to get weaker in the gym, the salt and pepper is becoming mostly gray and I don't think I could even touch the rim anymore. You somehow in your mind know it will come one day but for it to actually get here is a crazy experience. I see why people have midlife crisis now, because you start to lose the version of yourself that you have been for your whole adult life.
