sell them for full market value and put any profit into a fund to build more council houses

This is probably the way to go, because then the Tories won’t be able to run on ‘Bring Back Right To Buy’.

He was a secret Marxist all along. The Daily Mail was right!

Just nationalise it already.

Just a little bit, as a treat.

This and the stuff around the ‘single status’ for workers is genuinely quite difficult. For instance, the Writers’ Guild has concerns about how royalties would work under such a status. That’s exactly why the government’s doing the right thing in having an extensive consultation period.

Terrified this will now actually catch on.

Brollywood?

I climb to keep fit and because it’s really fun. It’s a moderately dangerous activity, but no one ever says I should consider the pressures on the NHS before I go and maybe fall off a boulder problem and break my ankle or whatever. I think this is just standard fatphobic finger-wagging, to be honest.

Man, I hope she does this. It’s not something a future government would realistically undo.

It’s also not the kind of thing that would be obviously life-changing for anyone but it would be a permanent change for the better!

Bit boring, I thought. Last year’s was better.

I was basically happy with the content, but it needed more hope spots.

I thought we were gonna get away without some wanker this year, but there’s always some wanker.

Problem is that continuing not to invest = austerity. So if he doesn’t announce some new spending or at the very least something that will boost growth somehow, there will be more austerity. Something’s gotta give!

Yeah, it’s a fair point. I think the downside of caps is that it feels like the article is screaming at you!

The Greens very much do run on nimby platforms, including their co-leader, mentioned in the article. And it is just deeply aggravating when they oppose green infrastructure for nimby reasons, whether it wins them votes or not.

Also, lots of words start off as acronyms and then lose that status. ‘Laser’ is a good example: originally ‘Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation’, but now always written in lowercase.

Rough sleeping is a specific category of homelessness, meaning people who are sleeping actually outside, on the street. Homelessness can refer more generally to people who are shuttling between different temporary accommodation or couch surfing. Obviously there’s some overlap and people often go from one to the other.

Next they’ll realise giving people food stops them being hungry!

Definitely the right decision. I criticise the Greens a lot for letting their nimbyism trump their environmentalism, so it’s only fair that I praise them embracing their yimby side!

Keep the picture but turn it sideways, then everyone’s happy.

Makes official what we already strongly suspected, I think.

All 72 deaths were due to decades of negligence and in some cases active deception.
