Took me a while to get this but centrists simply don't have any kind of consistent standards. They just say good things about guys they like and bad things about guys they don't. Wether the things are true doesn't matter to them. The concept of hypocrisy doesn't even register.

They really are going for this. They're going to try and say "actually it's ridiculous for the opposition to have a foreign policy". This is it. This is their best argument.

'He's the Leader of the Opposition for Christ's sake, what is he meant to do - go waltzing into Gaza waving white flags?' @BenKentish says 'ridiculous' protestors ,who gathered outside Keir Starmer's house, are 'targeting the wrong man'.

Whenever people talk about the possibility of "disappearing games" in relation to streaming or games as service it is worth remembering that this happens already, to games that were sold in a box and everything.

Immediately knew without looking that the reason for the "schools falling down" problem, like so many other problems, would be "this stuff lasts around 30 years and 40 years ago we stopped doing maintenance on basically everything".

Once again I am thinking about this editorial by ex Labour, Change UK and Lib Dem MP Angela Smith, who became a private water lobbyist immediately after leaving parliament and was recently re-admitted to the Labour party.

Last week we had an entire news cycle about how smol bean MPs were being intimidated by graffiti and protests, yet at no point did they talk about how Khan has actual police protection as a result of politicians and journalists saying things like this. I wonder why.
