Yesterday's post: Is Brexit a culture war or a class war? mainlymacro.blogspot.com/2019/07/is-bre… The dynamic of today’s service based economy means that social liberalism is in part generated by class. But class never justifies supporting socially conservative projects, like Brexit.

As "standing down" for other parties gathers pace, this Election is inevitably becoming a proxy second Referendum on Brexit. Except this time Boris can win a mandate for his Hard Brexit deal with way under 50% of the vote and get 5 years in No.10 to boot. We've been mugged.

Free broadband for every household and a nationalised BT are policies for a fairer and more productive Britain. Thank you The Labour Party.

This is a really smart way to sum up Labour's manifesto

The The Labour Party election manifesto is the most inspiring and exciting manifesto for 40 years. Let’s all vote for it on December 12th.

If you're not sure who to vote for, watch this.

"This election is more important than any other in living memory" Steve Coogan tells us why he supports Labour.

This is what I wrote a month ago. Corbyn got spoofed into this election. I’m afraid to say it was just one of several grave mistakes.

Pie's finest piece yet. There, I said it - and I'm a proud leftie to boot.

It is absolutely ridiculous that the Avon and Somerset Police press office will not respond to journalists' questions about this.

.@jrhopkin If it's Hull City and Peterborough United, we have to hold some kind of joint celebration...

Only just starting to believe it @theposhofficial. Still in shock, and still gutted about going 3-0 down, and yet, and yet, the Posh are up! Football can't get any more dramatic. So pleased for the owners, manager, players and fans. UP THE POSH! #PUFC

We'll be seeing you again next season, @jrhopkin! Congratulations on winning the title. I think a small Hull-Peterborough celebration is in order.

I was a graduate student at Magdalen College in 2013, and I don’t remember a vote on putting the Queen’s portrait up. The MCR is little used anyway. Honestly - move on. There’s nothing to see here.

The cherry tree in my back garden is giving plentifully again this year! 🍒🍒🍒

Once again the rain in north London is biblical this afternoon. This is not normal, and I feel distinctly uneasy. What have we done to our planet?

Thunder showers forecast for London. Really, Met Office ? It has rained like never before for 3 solid hours and not yet stopped. Not a shower but another deluge. Forecasting has been way off today. Way off.

Hey, UK Power Networks - there are power cuts up and down Burma Road N16 every time it rains! This has been going on for several weeks. Can you sort it out, please? Thank you.

.simon wren-lewis Is there data available relating to Covid infections among the jabbed and the jab used? I’m wondering if higher infections in the U.K. could be linked to use of AZ, or Pfizer? U.K. govt is collecting data but is it being published?
