>Yellow heat health alerts – which mean a greater risk to the lives of vulnerable people and higher demand for health and care services – have been put in place by the UK Health Security Agency across the South East, the East of England, London and the East Midlands until Monday.

>Brands are expected to cut more than £1bn of digital advertising spending due to the UK’s ban on social media for under-16s, with streaming services tipped to benefit as advertisers try to reach large audiences of teenagers. The ban, due to come into force early next year, will leave UK advertisers scrambling to reassess marketing plans as millions of under-16s effectively disappear as a demographic that can be marketed to on platforms including Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and YouTube.

Legitimately interested over the course of direction both Starmer and Burnham will take regarding the deficit in defence spending.

Starmer faced a backbench rebellion when he tried to cut welfare spending, come the time how will Burnham deal with this. Will the party just force the whip, or will Milliband replace Reeves and offer a different course?

As an aside, I was in the job centre the other day and was told that I, along with all other claimants, are to be officially referred to as "customers"

>We examined the prospective association between general intelligence (g) at age 10 and liberal and antitraditional social attitudes at age 30 in a large (N= 7,070), representative sample of the British population born in 1970.
>Statistical analyses identified a general latent trait underlying attitudes that are antiracist, pro-working women, socially liberal, and trusting in the democratic political system.
>There was a strong association between higher g at age 10 and more liberal and antitraditional attitudes at age 30; this association was mediated partly via educational qualifications, but not at all via occupational social class. Very similar results were obtained for men and women.
>This study confirms social attitudes as a major, novel field of adult human activity that is related to childhood intelligence differences.

These same techniques in the study of social development can easily be switched to justify overtly Fascist positions by mere substitution of terminology. Literally all this proves is that the reproduction of distinctions in social class are dependent on life outcomes inherent to British capitalist society.

How are the high tories in Britain are they making a comeback/relevant

I don’t live in the UK so I’m gonna assume that this is accurate


mods.

I'm not so sure about that.
Pretending you have a class problem when you have an idiot problem will lead you down the blind alley of "Labour should be bigoted warmongers to win back the real working class" and then being surprised when the actual mass base or bigotry - petty criminals, petit bourgeois, and retirees - aren't won over while most of the workforce jump ship to Libs, Greens, or Celtic nationalist socdems.

It's time to say it. Britain has no socialist movement.
We are in a period of reaction and we have to let it pass until we can properly organise a socialist future.

>>2849779
This is true but I think it's worth fighting to give it a liberal movement that can mitigate the pain of the coming reaction. "Peace, retrenchment and reform" is a fundamentally sound second best.
(Sadly, we don't have a liberal party or movement either, so this is a pipe dream.)

You misunderstand me, I'm not equating intelligence with social class but the outcomes involved in the production of liberal attitudes leading to its reproduction

Did anyone else watch Spooks as a kid? Been re-watching it, it is quite good but the state propaganda is just LMAO. Just finished the anti-kurdish episode and the anti-anarchist episode. In the former the Turkish diplomat says something like 'we want to live with the Kurds peacefully and will give them land and rights when the violence stops. :)' and the anarchist one was justifying spycops rape before spycops rapes were known.
Fucking mental. lol.
I half remember one that had a banker or something who was a secret communist. So looking forward to that.

>>2849821
Quite like the idea that there are only five people who run the entirety of MI5

>>2849821
Watched like 1 or 2 episodes when they were on TV but just found it gross propaganda yeah

>>2849821
The only crime show I watched was Luther and I thought it was brilliant, until they tried to make him into another James Bond figure

Nice

Do you guys think that WeGovy/Mounjaro/whatever should be free on the NHS? I can afford it but obviously many can't, surely it would save a shit load of money in the long run with obesity related illnesses? Or are they just hoping people die younger you think?

Remember Posie Parker?
Wealthy British boomer TERF streamer who advocated for the use of violence against trans people, had soup thrown at here in New Zealand, marched alongside Swastika carrying neo-Nazis in Australia, now turned to outright white nationalist/neo fascist and Tommy Robinson sidekick.

Her dog died from overheating in the current weather which she's now claiming was an accident and not neglect, and has a Daily Mail article today claiming she's the victim of this situation and not the dog she allowed to burn to a crisp.

If I had a pound for every far right personality that killed their own dogs, I'd now have £3.
Elon simp Catturd "accidentally" ran over his dog and Kristi Noem shot a puppy in the face for being to loud. Weird how it keeps happening…

How do you and the euros get real cocaine but all the stuff in Amerikkka is stepped on garbage?

Labour and the BBC are both stating that the government is introducing a total, complete, all encompassing conversion therapy ban.

This is a lie.

You can read the draft for yourselves. It makes an exemption for anyone who is a "healthcare provider" ie functionally including anyone who self identifies as the therapist.
Which of course by definition is anyone conducting conversion therapy.

So in practical terms, it is banning nothing at all.

Funny how the Daily Heil article opens by calling her a woman's rights activist when she appears alongside fascist white supremacist woman beaters and has stated she's fine with abortion being outlawed, and has stated on her streams she would be willing to have divorce be outlawed in exchange for "getting rid of" trans people

You're forgetting Rapey Ethan and teh Raider of Ramallah who fed their dog cheese and chocolate until it died.

I'd appreciate if you could illustrate your point more clearly (probably by giving an example of how the same techniques might justify fascism) or why the conclusion of the study should be disregarded / doesn't prove anything.

>>2849916
Because they are tasteless. Taste is difficult or impossible to measure but you occasionally see back and fourths ITT between the guy obsessed with textwalling about ancient greeks and others. A lack of taste leads them to indulge their ugly political views and a lack of taste leads them to enjoy slop-posting.
It's a shame taste is almost impossible to measure empirically because it's quite possibly a better predictor of political alignment than intelligence (e.g. as stupid as he acts, Musk isn't an actual moron… but he is completely and utterly tasteless.) and possibly carries better across time (e.g. the polarisation of voting by intelligence is a recent phenomenon. In 2015 vote shares were basically identical across all levels of educational attainment, 2017 was the first "smart vs dumb" election - but openly voting Tory has been cringe for decades, something that one should at the very least be apologetic about and make excuses for…)

Anyway, lack of taste is the linking factor.
No taste > likes AI slop, No taste > is open about their enjoyment of slop (A tasteful person who has it as a guilty pleasure would beek quiet)
No taste > likes ugly political positions, No taste > is open about their enjoyment of ugly political positions…

Meanwhile it takes a certain degree of taste and self-confidence to endorse a position like "abolish the police" back when that was the in-thing, even if the practical approach to doing so is unclear. An idiot is afraid of looking dumb, a smart, tasteful, self-confident person on the other hand can say something potentially dumb and dare you to argue with them about it…

It seems the biggest threats to dogs are ATF agents, zoosadists, and now TERFs & chuds.

Welp, I guess we was wrong about the Chinese being the top threat of man’s best friend.

>go to public pool

>>2850033
She’s not in the pool though and that’s bourgeois degeneracy

>>2849930
She has publicly stated that she doesn’t even identify as a feminist anymore because not even the average TERF was transphobic enough for her. Oh, and she is also a massive shabbos goy who also can’t decide herself what women should wear besides without “objectifying” themselves besides dressing up as a cringe gen X’er, to the surprise of no one.

Apparently there was some drama in TERF circles allegedly about her cult-like and dictatorial tactics aimed at suppressing her critics.

She reminds me of Tats in how their transphobia and hatred for male sexuality (since their hatred was mostly targeted at MtF trans) led them to become Neo-nazis.

I guess her co-appearance with actual Nazis at the same Australian hate demo she got souped in was foreshadowing that.
