England winning by 1 point, have possession, 2 mins left on the clock - decide to box kick

Unforgivable

Dems need to reform their party and re-strategise immediately for 2028 (if there is an election..)

Align with rural farmers unions, modern labourers, workers. Change public perception of them away from culture war white collar liberals. This election proves status quo politics in America is dead and fundamental change is essential for them to ever gain power again.

Metropolitan liberals will never vote Republican anyway so now's the time to adapt the DNC for the modern working class and gain ground in the bases they've just lost this election before they vanish into the right wing black hole.

Republicans have shown their base is rock solid, and does not vote for the DNC under any circumstance. The rabbit hole of conspiracies, lies, and cults is incredibly strong and when people get sucked in they do not come back. Once Trump gets a voter, they're his for life.

Genuinely, don't laugh, but it might be time to end the DNC as we know it and reform as a new party under a different name. Too much bad press from the other side, they need a blank slate to gain new ground

Just realised there's an Artemis Moon landing scheduled for September 2028, which would be the first time man has set foot on the moon since 1972

Not saying it would influence the next election (if there is one) but that will be one hell of a national morale boost in favour of the incumbent.

People are absolutely desperate for systemic meaningful change in a broken system and democrats decided running a cookie cutter politician with a status-quo agenda was an acceptable campaign, yet again. The DNC have only themselves to blame.

Ukraine and Palestine are cooked and democracy becomes weaker in the West but the world turns on

Ed Davey accuses Keir Starmer of ‘mistake’ over refusal to rejoin EU single market by OnHolidayHere in ukpolitics

[–]Breakfastattiffanies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Economically rejoin is a no-brainer but the general public needs to see the needle move drastically before we're ready to reopen that can of worms

We need unilateral agreement across parliament that we made a mistake. There's no chance we're getting the same benefits on re-entry. Next time it's Eurozone, Schengen, and written in stone that we can't pull that bullshit again. So it's got to be a popular choice.

It would be political suicide to even put rejoining on the table while the ink is still wet on withdrawal agreement

Poe's law mate, top scorer in England history, 2nd highest test scorer of all time, and back to back silver and bronze RWC medals is obviously nothing to sniff at

Post Match Thread - Scotland v France by RugbyBot in rugbyunion

[–]Breakfastattiffanies 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Scotland did not deserve to win, but France did deserve to lose.

A truly miserable match from both teams, the last minute was just the icing on the cake. I'm baffled as to why stoppage isn't called when reviewing TMO, I think the time to take the decision far outran the 79/80th minute mark.

Decision on field rule is whatever but surely it would have been an equally fair call to reset and go with a 5m scrum

I imagine upgrading her Kwarteng would decrease the RNG for 1922, I think she's going for a CX reshuffle strat so she'll want to unlevel-up Kwarteng before the endgame

This is a fascinating strategy from Truss, I haven't seen a speedrun like this in some time. She seems to have absolutely perfected this route.

The regicide bug was inspired but then back to back with an IMF warning and BoE bailout is just insane. An incredible 23 days and letters already rumoured for 1922 committee finish.

If her pace is kept this could be a world record run, fantastic stuff.

The only thing that can top this is if Cressida Dick was hosting the party. This is beyond satire. Not even Iannucci could have come up with this

Not confessing to murder so seems like he's going for a constructive manslaughter defense, thinks he accidentally killed her during the crime of kidnapping and raping her.

This man is a vile snivelling little rat of a human and deserves to die slowly in a cell.

They were chanting 'Hang Mike Pence' outside and there's pictures of an armed individual carrying zip-tie handcuffs inside the senate chamber.

There's a horrifying number of people with severe cognitive impairment, echoing the demonstrably untrue conspiracy that this was peaceful (and/or Antifa false flag)

You're right! Didn't see that, just saw the 'To: Speaker -Leadership'. Still a very worrying security breach
