I simply refuse to learn any more about imperial measurements than I already do, and if that limits my participation in British society then, honestly, all the better.

Very excited to have this piece published yesterday by Public Finance on the role of the Treasury. This debate is an important one at the heart of our constitution. But we need to be clear on how decisions are made and consider reform. (1/11) publicfinance.co.uk/opinion/2022/0…

If Kwasi Kwarteng is sacked/"resigns", he'll have been chancellor for just 39 days. He'll be spared the ignominy of being the UK's shortest-serving post-Victorian chancellor, but only because Iain Macleod died in office.

Any MP who talks like this about home-building needs to be asked: do you hope your young constituents are forced to leave the area to find somewhere to live, or do you hope your old constituents die to free up the existing homes?

Don't you just love the student loan system? I earn just about average wage and the interest means I'll never pay it back and I'll just miss an extra £1200 a year out of my salary forever. I'd understand if there wasn't interest and I was just paying back but this is ridiculous.

"The world must not be silent. Our political leaders must not continue to give the green light for atrocities to be committed in Gaza, and should remember their Responsibility to Protect Palestinian civilians from these crimes." 4/5

We could solve a lot of the world’s problems by jangling keys 24/7 in front of the kind of person who thinks this is good

If AI slop can’t even interest children, perhaps adults who are impressed by it should take a look at themselves. It feels like there’s a real fight coming to protect human creativity from the chronically imaginationless and their toys.

reactionary nationalism's core idea is that the nation is being taken advantage of by a rigged international system and must reassert itself. This is an especially stupid idea when adopted by the US, the nation that the international system is rigged *in favour of*

I think AI bros are the best evidence we have that some people don't have a "soul." They fundamentally don't understand the point of art or why people engage with it.
