    this ch4 interview (skip to 11m50s) of an activist with cerebral palsy juxtaposed against a healthy representative of 'sad' young adults tells you everything...

    but I'll spell it out anyway: the massive expansion of mental health diagnoses (based on culture not medicine) has given cover for politicians to cut the benefits of real disabled people.

    if only this was a parody.

    “Yes, £12 sandwiches are drivers of gentrification but the things that really matter are high house prices and high market rents,” he said. “If local people had protected, affordable housing, it wouldn’t matter how much a local croissant cost."

    The membership of the working group appears to signal that the government is engaging with the recently launched British Muslim Network (BMN), but not the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) - the largest umbrella body claiming to represent British Muslims.

    Dominic Grieve, a former Conservative attorney general, has been appointed chair of the group with BMN co-chair Akeela Ahmed among its four other members.

    Justin Welby has told the BBC he forgives a serial abuser at the heart of a scandal that led to his resignation as Archbishop of Canterbury.

    In his first interview since quitting in November last year, Welby said his forgiveness of John Smyth - arguably the most prolific abuser associated with the Church of England - was "irrelevant" and it was more important to help victims "rebuild their lives".

    it's about the shoes.

    Quote
    “Labour are fucked,” says Kneale, 52, drinking a £1.95 pint of Foster’s beneath a giant St George’s flag. “I’ve been Labour all my life but never, ever again. They’ve done nothing but lie to us.”

    On Kneale’s long list of grievances are immigration, the state of the town centre, the leadership of the local council, and cuts to the winter fuel allowance – a big issue in a constituency where one in five people are over 65, bigger than the national share.

    “We need to stop the fucking boats. The pensioners need winter fuel allowance back and if you look around the town we’ve got barbers, dodgy cigarette shops, charity shops everywhere. You go try buy a pair of shoes in Runcorn – you can’t!”

    reform has arrived. enshitification accelerates.

    Quote
    The Tory party, the most successful in the history of Western democracies, has been supplanted by an agile, disruptive one-man band. And alongside the Faragists on the polling papers now jostle the standard continental panoply of Leftist ecologists, nationalist separatists, tentatively resurgent liberals, the diehard centre-Leftists, traditional conservatives, as well as independent candidates swept in via South Asian Baradari voting blocs.

    The polycentric politics mirrors a diffuse, collapsing sense of a shared national culture. Gone are the days when the BBC had a near-monopoly on political news, and when the horse meat scandal or the “pasty tax” could dominate headlines for weeks. Instead, we have a schizophrenic media landscape in which a Presidential assassination attempt, or an Islamist mass murder in a Christmas market, is forgotten as quickly as a passing TikTok reel, like tears in the rain.

    The postmodern breakdown of our collective consciousness reflects the mood of a despondent, fragmented electorate searching for any answers from any direction after almost two decades of wage stagnation and the visible deterioration of our public spaces and common life.
