IMO how we define the ācentreā. Societyās car has been veering further and further right after 40 years of neoliberal doctrine, and now we teeter on a far right precipice. Straightening the wheel still takes us off the cliff. Only a radical left correction can take us back to the middle road

Merino has spent more time as our centre forward than midfield since he joined us

I don't think Raynor has enemies in the press due to her staunch egalitarian, leftist principals. She is (depressingly) loathed by the right because she is a) a woman and b) working class.
The total lack of any kind of story for us to believe in is the clearest sign that neither this besuited dog nor the tails that wag him have an iota of imagination, purpose or courage
Bastard Signalling is mainstream, infectious and well at home with docile weather vanes like this cock
Oh bravo. I can just share this now rather than rise to WhatsApp bait. Nice one, Tom
Fantastically good and true
When flaggers shout āif you love em so much why donāt you let them live in your houseā, i tend to say āthe UK is my home and that is precisely my positionā
ššš āTen Hag's sacking after two games is the fastest in Bundesliga history, breaking the previous record of five matches.ā
Guardian just dropped a no-think piece to this exact effect. A narrative of idiots.
And the greatest trick played over decades or neoliberal political narratives has been to convince the public that this is a good thing. That billionaires deserve their unimaginable fortunes and have a god given right not to contribute to the common good. Even Hayek knew meritocracy was a sham
Itās clear we need more than one number 9 option
Need to bring the creative force earlier. Also Ethan should have been on before Dowman
thank you
Bastard Signalling is a thing
Arsenal controling that entire half and in slim pickings provided more threat too. And thats with a pure muscle midfield. Nelli off for Eze, at somepoint Ethan for Merino
bump
Starmer will never get enough credit to escape the toxic reputation built in this first year. He is cooked as an electoral force.
There is also a shout for letting Starmer draw personal fire during the early stages of the govt's term while they do boring dirty work. Switch up in time for another figure to get the glory of a final leg into election. I always said this was the only way Labour could win under Corbyn but alas
Ok now im horny
Locked in for the big win for Set Piece FC
If you asked me who id rather get rid of between Starmer and McSweeney, I'd opt for McS everytime. Change the dog but if its the same handler, nothing will change.

Oooh another reason to hate (rather than just patronisingly pity) Manure. Excited!
Probably called Nvedvedved or something

The entire excitement around this monastery centres on the chance to talk about erections
30k? Forget Wembley, you would have seats left to spare at Stoke On Trent and Milton Keynes football grounds.
Christ thatās bleaker than previous ones. I think focussing on immigration in current climate of media / weak govt is bound to elicit negative responses in line with reactionary propaganda. Are questions designed to merely take a pulse check or to make public question beliefs?
Oh my. This is having a notable effect on shifting my mood from dire to dreamy this morning. Like a thousand butterfly wings lifting the iron lid. Thank you
Imagine if they had found the credit card back in January. Canāt believe it took this long for a new one to come through
Heās standing in our shadow
Bad ideas that would naturally be unpopular need to be proactively sold. Profitable businesses that do harm (eg oil, tobacco, now social media etc) have always been underpinned by huge investment in propaganda and marketing to āmanufacture consentā in the public consciousness. Itās f*cking tragic.
Hey roundabout flaggersā¦. The media and elite are laughing so hard you. Nigel just split his cummerbund. How does it feel to be their biggest joke?
UK hereā¦ we are so f*cked. But sure destitute immigrants are the greatest threat to our way of life. Itās like being on the Titanic, ignoring the shouts of āicebergā because youāre too busy complaining about the noise coming from the riff raff below decks
Forget gender reveals, is this a world first Dark Lord reveal? Surprise! Its Peter!
Reform are so extreme, finding and leveraging a wedge issue shouldnt be bloody hard to separate the full English racists from the politically homeless former Tory cul de sac dwellers. Itās fisher price political comms stuff.

In the UK we have a critical productivity crisis. I canāt think of a better policy combination to kick start innovation, creativity and growth than UBI and 4 day weeks. Give people the safety net and time to be entrepreneurial then sit back watch the economy glow.
I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!
They might as well put up swastikas.
Supine, acquiescent appeasing fucks
Class-based gaps in voter turnout and political representation in Britain are likely to widen further. Our study, with Nan Dirk de Graaf and Geoff Evans (@nuffieldcollege.bsky.social), reveals how social mobility creates a cycle that reinforces democratic inequalities. š³ļøšŖ
John Jost is back, superb stuff. Absolutely agree just world theory needs dismantling
āStrange reluctanceā? What do libs think the blue bit of Blue Labour actually stands for?
Wtf? Why would child sexual abuse not be deemed to be violence??
Who is going to be manning these gunboats? Under international maritime law, all ships and seafarers have an obligation to provide assistance to people in distress at sea, including āenemiesā.
Not just a fabulous track but those Bonham drums been sampled no less than 282 times by some of the greatest hiphop cuts ever. www.whosampled.com/Led-Zeppelin...
Itās bad enough for libs to admit the left have always had the correct stance on Starmer, but coupled with Gaza / Israel it must be an unbearable affront in their sensible sensitivties. Oh and wealth taxes, public ownership etcā¦ pennies dropping in the meritocracy rn like 2p arcade game
Something in my eye šļø š§ youtu.be/4JULbiIXLrA?...
Somethingās been stepped on a few times, not just their heads
If only western leaders were as enraged about literal kneecaping during a genocide by Zionist psychopaths as they are about a band called Kneecap speaking out against that very same grotesque genocide.
Can't wait for the ITV drama about Lucy Connolly, a innocent woman guilty of nothing more than committing the crime of inciting racial hatred.
Utter scum bastards. A position of total, automatic hostility towards the entire British press is where the whole of populace of this island should always be. These people are *vermin* and their associates must be required to disassociate themselves from this.

Lo and behold they have chnaged the headline to include iota of context www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Fully a yes from me. I do differ from you on the issue of communicating and winning the arguments for fairness to, G. I think this is the central, fundamental fight of our time. Farage is winning currently, framing his xenophobia as fairness at every turn. Startmer is the dog being wagged by Reform
Fuck the utter fuck off you absolute ghouls šš

Yes but never again. Couldnāt move for the weight of medals I awarded myself
I don't know about you but I've had about enough of mainstream media & politicians legitimising racist anti-asylum protests that terrorise refugees & communities. I had to push back hard, TWICE on BBC yesterday about supposed "legitimate concerns" www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtkA...
Wilt Chamberlain says āNozick can talk to my big ass hands. Constitutive luck is arbitrary and undermines all concepts of reward desertā š
I once was at a bordello in Cambodia and pay for a girl to spend a couple of hours with me. You see, there were air conditioned karaoke rooms in the same building and I wanted someone to do duets. Clothes stayed on of course, we had a blast.
Rawls being punk af is a hill I will die on. Nothing neutral about the egalitarian outcomes focus of his difference principal. He explicitly rejected myths of Meritocracy, deeming gains from arbitrary luck as an illegitimate basis for wealth / power distribution. He is a misunderstood ideas badman
Rawls was so much more radical than todayās wet litany of (neo)liberal politicians who to lack even a passing interest in fairness. Rawls was outcomes focussed - the difference principal gets an 8/10 punk score imo. And he fully rejected the foundational scourge of modern lib outlooks: meritocracy.
Wait for the endingā¦ the one where the same kid scores the winner to bring major silverware back to our cabinet.
Woke is alive and kicking the fuck back
For the right, fairness just means getting more for themselves. Zero self awareness or view from above the trees. I tend to consider empathy as an emotionally creative act - conservatives can perhaps be summed up most pithily as being devoid of imagination.

Sunset over Fowey whilst camping in Cornwall last week. Havenāt meddled with the image at all!
If only Corbyn had got beyond the āpeopleās voteā, Labour would have surely shored up the red wall vote in 2019 š¤Ŗ

Unconditional cash cuts child mortality in half. Location: Kenya (653 villages) Participants: 10,500 households Amount: $1000 once Duration: 2014-2017 Design: RCT Control: 100k 45% fewer child deaths before age five 65% more business activity 2.5x economic multiplier www.nber.org/papers/w34152
I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world. This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. š§µ
āLegitimate concernsā
I really wish that were true and wealth taxes were anywhere near policy agendas of main parties. I fear the opportunity will be lost soon without mass support š
Weāll be shit for a while it seems. Canāt see MA getting the most of this lot for a fair while.
