Sadiq Khan marches in Pride Parades, calls Chanukah in the Square one of the main highlights of his year, and increased funding for Jewish schools to keep providing free Kosher meals. Criticising his record is one thing, peddling myths about him being an Islamist is pathetic

Kneecap's manager: There is no rise in antisemitism but if there is, the Jews are doing it to themselves.

@_Senseal_ @jakonian I'm all for high speed rail and think it's a shame that we haven't optimised for it but this seems like an overreaction lol

@profavi_ @jakonian yes I am in favor of "Wasting" money like this. if the gov has the cheek to steal so much of my paycheck I better see some good results.

@jakonian I personally think it’s sensible to compromise on 180 seconds of a 50-minute train ride to a) get it built faster so the economy can benefit from it sooner, and b) save several billions in taxpayer money (though it obviously depends how many billions this is)

@jakonian Where does that end? Would you spend £1 trillion more to make the route go one minute faster and take ten more years to build? This isn’t about excellence it’s a public service and is therefore about cost-benefit analysis lol

@_Senseal_ @jakonian It’s a hypothetical; I want to know where you’d draw the line (since taxpayer money+construction time is a tradeoff with speed of train)

@_Senseal_ @jakonian Would you spend £1 trillion extra of taxpayer money so it goes at 201mph instead of 200mph and takes ten years longer to built?

@jakonian If it saves billions in taxpayer money and gets it built faster it’s absolutely worth it. Unless you think any marginal couple of minutes’ improvement in speed is worth throwing even more billions at?

@profavi_ I don’t want them to go any slower at all honestly. “high speed rail minus three minutes”

@jakonian Not at all… there are in fact far better-written mockeries of Sir Keir out there than this Americanised slop (eg Spitting Image)

The Labour Party endorsed planning reform in their manifesto, but apparently it's getting watered down because loads of backbenchers still buy into left-NIMBYism and believe that we can fill our need for housing with social housing. Depressing stuff
Cassie Pritchard@hecubian_devil

Do they even have YIMBYs in the UK? Like obviously things are bad here in the US but there’s lots of signs that we might turn things around on housing. Over there…am I just not seeing it? Or does it not exist?

Zack Polanski is just online leftism personified, in all its ridiculousness, all its ostensible Utopianism, all its shallowness, all its naivety, all its idiocy, all its sanctimony and all its imperviousness to reality.
