Why is it that a pay rise for a teacher causes inflation, but a bonus for a banker doesn't?

Apparently defending a Holocaust survivor is antisemitic.
This is interesting
A sensible council rejects tech bollocks that hasn't actually achieved a damn thing.

The post political ‘country before party’ stuff that the liberal pundits lap up is *precisely* the problem. Societies renew themselves through debate and disagreement. Democracy is agonistic.
This rhetoric is about having a tiny coterie at the top in charge.
What, now? NOW?

The treatment of Stephen Kapos, as seen on last Sunday's @Standup4Labour show was utterly wretched. Anyone believing Starmer threatening to expel a Holocaust survivor from the party is tackling AS needs their head examining. #DamoRants #StarmerOut https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMYNDHWEM/

My Labour government will always put country first, party second.

It is great we are now free to make our own laws and spend our own money thanks to Brexit. We now need to use those freedoms to make life better.

£14,900,000,000 was wasted on unused PPE.
This money could've paid for 89,000 extra nurses for 5 years.

Spritely Goblins 0.10 has been released! This is a big release for the project and the first release I was a part of! Developer usability is much improved with better docs and dev tools and network programming via OCapN is even better. Check it out!

If Starmer gets into power and it turns out the fantasists were right … his entire strategy was to gain power and only then enact massive social-economic reforms, then I will become his most adamant defender and apologise for all my doubt… but I just can’t see it!

Loving all this centrist angst. 'You're *letting the Tories win!*' they squeal, whilst denying they threw the last two GEs and demanding unquestioning allegiance to the sinister shape-shifting Starmer.
Sorry but if you can't win an election, it's no good blaming me, is it?
RT @PDWriter
@RhodriMWindsor The real Tory-enablers are those in the Labour Party who successfully sabotaged two general elections by working to destroy the party’s democratically elected leader with a campaign of smears and lies. The current disaster is the result.
