(on the other hand I've just seen my first article complaining that Labour don't have any concrete agreements with foreign governments yet, which seems... premature)

What's impressive is that they know exactly where the low-hanging fruit that doesn't need parliamentary approval is and they're ripping into it immediately. I think a lot of voters don't realise how much stuff is done with the stroke of a pen.

It appears that as their majority is only baked in for five years Labour are attempting to speedrun government.

Played well with their rural voters (or at least the angry ones that write letters), I guess

Onshore, yes. Planning rules meant you could only get permission if there was no local opposition, and because there's always that one person it was a de facto ban. Only applied to wind turbines, nothing else.

I'll take "heart in the right place but a bit wonky on the detail" over the opposite any day. It'd be slightly more alarming if it had been her brief in opposition and had that misconception (and it really stands out that she's one of the few to be covering a new brief).

I'm sure he's just angling for publicity.

That also handily provides a reason they didn't actually resolve any of this industrial action - it wasn't in the Tory interest when it was giving them a message that (mystifyingly) cut through to their base. I'm sure there's a bit of cosplay Thatcher in there too, of course.

I suspect their core (aging!) vote still associate strikes with Labour though. I'm sure my parents do. Explains two years of otherwise bizarre messaging that "these massive, disruptive strikes we've provoked, encouraged and prolonged are what you get with Labour".

Related is the endless fascination with who is up and down in the polls, rather than any sort of analysis or engagement with their policies that nominally drive that

I've no idea if I'm non-binary or just taking my own sweet time about working up to permanently being a girl, but either way I'd like to say fuck me but I'm a slow learner.

This is the thing I can never get past. They sound like absolute dangers to themselves and others if they were to ever venture in. Although I think we all know this all happens in other toilets. You wouldn't know them. They go to another stall.

Sudden alarm bells rang until I realised that my own university study trip to Pembrokeshire didn't involve anything in a toilet, public or not. Otherwise I might have been able to give you an exciting update on the whole "cis" thing... Must be something in the water there.

Rishi Sunak there, yet again frantically locking the stable door when the horse has not only bolted, but is now living abroad somewhere under an assumed identity.

"Here's the merest hint of the absolute bare minimum..." Is this hope I feel? "...AND NOW LET'S COSY UP TO A BILLIONAIRE BIGOT IN CASE SHE VOTES COMMUNIST" Oh. No. No it isn't.
