He's perfected the sad daily mail eyes of utterly predictable tragedy
Mixed metaphors coupled with some botched ones for good measure
Great piece from @daniellalock.bsky.social on why the High Court was right to find that the Home Sec had gone beyond the government's own policy in proscribing Palestine Action
Incredibly i thought this was real for a moment
Oh he'll weasel his way in somehow, and ideally promptly be bitten by a rat in his new office
Labelling Hannah Spencer as someone more interested in dividing society than uniting it was a stupid place to begin, and it never recovered from there
This is political suicide by letter, right? He's basically begging them to defenestrate him
Things being done 'quietly' is always a red flag
'only in the 1980s did [inequality] start to rise to levels unique in the western world, aided and abetted by governments that became hooked on tax revenues from the City, as if mainlining heroin.' Syed comes so close to the point
'There is a forgotten generation of white British voters. They feel sidelined. Confused'. Aren't these the racists and Europhobes the government's been placating for over a decade?
presumably the internet telling him he was a moron ad infinitum got to him
Incredible to write two opening paragraphs that are smug, vacuous, and appallingly written all at the same time

Fantastic post by @profmarkelliott.bsky.social illustrating why the High Court's decision not to quash the unlawful (at least for now) proscription order of PA is conceptually, and arguably pragmatically, problematic. This case also shows why legal theory, and conceptual clarity especially, matter
No helping you there I'm afraid, join in the fun or suck it up
Could I suggest finding different friends
I mean, no one is forcing you to watch?
And inevitably, this grubby little government will appeal because it believes bigotry and intolerance will bring about popularity en masse
Look forward to the Court of Appeal upholding the High Court before the Supreme Court finds some tenuous way to defer to executive action
Palestine Action judgment here www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/u...
Just wait for the Supreme Court to overturn it...
That piece felt twice as long as it was
My favourite part of politics is when Lib Dems come up with policy, like toddlers imagining themselves driving a train
It's totally insane that this has been going on for decades now. It'll take a notre dame for them to do anything
Good to know Polanski's Greens are just as shitty as every other party going
