I've made £100.00 over the past 18 months just by completing surveys. They transfer the cash straight into your account.
The surveys are really interesting too.

I haven't read the article but the fact is that labour gained more seats than the conservatives because they won some back but more importantly, conservatives lost votes and seats to liberal democrats, and Reform. Their overall count majority was pretty low.

The point is that of the two, the decent old codger you want to win is fluffing it and risks dangerously losing. That level of risk isn't worth it.

At least the Greens will get as much coverage as Reform across all the channels now.

Good/Interesting point. Points towards the current way each party "sees" the purpose and function of political structures and discourse. Either way, democrats need to toughen up if they want to protect a more balanced democracy

The problem is that Republicans fight dirty and in this day and age being a good old honest guy doesn't cut it. Democrats need someone who can stand up to and face off against powerful people with no integrity who can tap into and appeal to the most primitive instincts of ordinary people.

Are the Democrats still backing Biden so utterly delusional and deep into a magical thinking mindset that they see Biden winning in November? They have to wake up to reality. Seriously. Their current blindly optimistic loyalty is going to lead to a Trump Tyranny and kill off all trace of democracy

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

But delusions leads one to interpret and make sense of phenomena that is clearly false, as being real. In short, ideological. For example. There is no evidence whatsoever that Abraham existed, yet belief in him is the foundation of three major religions that millions have fought and died for.

Last night’s debate reminds us that we can afford no tepid or faltering response to the resurgence of oligarchic power. Defending democracy against plutocracy demands steely determination and a powerful new story. They are lacking almost everywhere. 🧵

There's nothing normal about a 'business' that says its only asset, that it's been looking after for 30 years, is in decline & risk to public safety
Privatisation has failed. Ownership in public interest may have its issues - shouldn't be as bad as this
