Yep, boats are the issue Suank wants to stake his name to, nevermind the failing NHS, or the fact most of the roads are like farm tracks, or folk not being able to see a dentist or any of the other myriad things his mob have fucked up over the last umpteen years.

Sunak really spooning out hearty mouthfuls of bullshit today isn't he? Being sent to Rwanda is err, compassionate? Civil servants have to do what a minister tells them to do even if it breaks international law?
He's not really good at this big boy act.

Performative cruelty is all they have left.
Why fix the real reasons people's lives are so shit when you can just punch down at asylum seekers, the disabled and other vulnerable groups? Guaranteed vote winner.
Absolute bastards.

Rishi Sunak vows to boost UK defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2030
Just watched Channel 4 News and apparently the above is a load of cobblers and actually means no increase in defence spending.
As if the Conservatives would stoop to tawdry political slight of hand like this.

Is there any evidence the minister was influencing the decision making of the dev bank? Does he have a role? If not, and I doubt he does, then this seems like a non story.

She was truly living her Maggie cosplay. Minus the actual competence.
TBF she did inspire thick as mince people that they too can become PM by ignoring all semblance of reality, being in the right place at the right time, being fortunate to be up against no one with any empirical evidence of talent and having no sense of self awareness.

I think Truss being a fucking thickie is why I would say Sunak is a far worse Prime Minister, he's not and yet has done actually nothing to help the country.
Saying that I don't think even fuckwit Truss would have come up with "Eat Out to Help Out" without taking scientific advice so perhaps it's a tie on how stupid they both are?

Truss feels genuine thick as shit unable to read the room and Sunak is the sheer arrogance from having the unshakeable belief that being in charge of the proles is your birthright. Tbh the government of Johnson from 2019 onwards just stripped what little talent and competence there was within the party and the new entrants from that election jist flooded it with absolute cretins like Seagull and 30p.

Truss is thick, and a tory cunt. Sunak isn’t thick but he’s still a Tory cunt.
Being a tory seems to be the biggest problem. They’re both shit PMs.

Sunak is thick. He’s the pinnacle of what a difference a good education makes. Every time he opens his mouth he sounds like a fucking moron.

As much as I detest both Truss and Sunak, I still think Johnson was the worst of the bunch - pathologically incapable of telling the truth, convinced to his bone marrow that he was always right, believing himself the rightful King of the World, and an abject cunt on top of it all.

Every one of the last 5 PMs has been politically incompetent, all leaving the office in disgrace. Cameron suffered a huge amount of hubris and spread the toxicity within the Tory party across the whole country; May made Corbyn look like an almost viable PM and had no control over her own party; Johnson had no control over himself and zero interest in actually governing the country, just the trappings of power; Truss had no idea what she was doing and was just there as a puppet of the think tanks.
Now there is a chance Sunak will continue the trend by leading his party into one of the worst defeats they have ever suffered that could potentially lead to the end of the party (probably not, but we can always hope).

TBF to May, she had the foresight to grasp a poison chalice from Cameron's hand. I don't think anything resembling success could have been achieved by anyone after Cameron released the lift guff that was Brexit into the political atmosphere.

I'd counter foresight with 'naked, hubristic, reckless, shameless and arrogant ambition' but perhaps I'm a little jaded, for some reason.

From Cameron, maybe May onwards their problem is always that they are the dogs who caught the car. Brexit, a thumping majority, everything they wanted and just kept getting run over by the Yaris of reality because their ideas are stupid and they are all idiots.

Sorry folks. We’ve pissed so much cash and parliamentary time up the wall on the Rawanda thing, that we won’t be able to do these other things. Michael Gove can't guarantee no-fault eviction ban before election www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68885243Government cancelled plans to test free childcare rollout, says watchdog www.bbc.com/news/articles/cv2959vg3ezop.s. The housing thing is in no way connected to lobbying by Tory backbenchers who just happen to be landlords p.p.s This crap was caused by us as well. Soz.

It's an interesting thought, as the 'bubblification' of news and discourse has been cited as one of the causes of a lot of the problems with social media. But smaller communities are already bubbles by default. FG should be held up as a model web society. The list of exiled citizens is getting quite long though. Doomed forever to wander in the Cursed Earth outside the walls. The thing is, to take twitter as an example, there is no community in social media. There's just the people you've selected to follow. If you're an asshole within a smaller community they can kick you out. If you're an asshole on twitter, people will block you, sure, but other people you follow will not have seen it in the first place, and even if they do it's incredibly easy to just find other assholes to interact with instead.
Conversely, if you get into a fight with someone there's no reason to try and mediate or reconcile. Any of those actions you'd take to improve or restore social cohesion? Those would be mutually beneficial on a forum, because you have a wider community that you both care about. On twitter, that's not a thing. Even if you both care about social cohesion, you'll have to do sort out things between the two of you rather then having a few neutral parties also in the mix who can point out things that either of you aren't seeing.
The other thing is that esp. now, a lot of said social media is strongly algorithmically driven to make sure you keep scrolling. All these social media platforms have already reached their peak amount of users. So if a social media company wants to increase revenue, they have to increase the amount of ads that people actually see. You have to drive engagement. The longer people spend staring at their screen, the better. So, you set up a system that tries to guess at what keeps people on the platform for longer. And as it turns out, the best way to keep people engaged is to keep them enraged. A topic that would have dozens of pages of heated debate before being locked when the local moderator has been sufficiently caffeinated? That's the ideal of social media. It's in their best interest to ensure that every single interaction on their platform results in those levels of engagement.

And thats been the evidence of voters in recent elections. They're voting based on cost of living, not on which bathrooms can trans people use. Its why the likes of Laurence Fox get so few votes to be London mayor thay he doesn't even make back his deposit despite being the candidate that's all about being anti-woke. Doesn't stop the Tories from talking about it though because it's the only thing they can do to appease their supporters because they fucked everything else

One of the problems with modern politics is that internet sentiment is given seemingly more credence than it ever deserves.

Web forums though? They're ace. I can't remember the name of it (think I was linked to it from here), but there was a YouTube video looking at the history of human communities and how the Internet is the antithesis of how we have always formed them. The solution they suggested was a return to smaller Internet communities of the early 2000s, such as Geocities and forums. So, yeah, forums are the best! This one? youtu.be/fuFlMtZmvY0
