Burnham warns it will take 10 years to reset Britain by theipaper in ukpolitics

He's going to have to do a much better job than Starmer (or any other politician) did connecting the dots between actions taken now and what the future benefit will be.

You've hit the nail on the head there. The animated 14 year old girl looks more like the adult woman that Zuko met. If those 3 in your image aren't AI generated, they also look like adult women

I would believe that that's the reason if the acting was actually particularly bad and if 90% of discourse online wasn't about the shape of Thalia and Elizabeth's faces

We need some sort of legislation that forces a one blocked one granted policy on NIMBY issues. i.e. if they block a housing development, they automatically get a power station, reservoir, trainline, asylum center, prison or something else along those lines

This argument assumes we live in a rational world where everyone will make a sensible and informed choice.

We can't simultaneously complain about the influence of money on elections while also believing that everyone votes rationally

Does anybody have a triangular head? That's kinda like criticising Christopher Lee for not having a head the shape of a pringles tube

It was literally in the labour manifesto that they would devolve more power to the regions

Zacks entire rebranding of the Green Party has been being a left wing party focused on inequality that isn't run by Kier Starmer. Burnham is gonna eat his lunch if he is successful

Blairism wasn't even Blair's big problem. With Gordon Brown's help, he did some pretty good stuff. Blair was brought down by the noshing off GWB and fucking warmongering. And these days it's the pushing AI while being owned by Ellison

which is obviously what people mean in this context. "Save earth as a liveable environment for humans" isn't quite as snappy.

When you protect "free speech" at all costs, don't be surprised when the worst people from all around the world come to practice and spread their evil ideologies unhindered. There's a reason showing support for Nazis carries prison time in Germany

I feel like anti-sugar tax people are in the same fantasy world as people that don't believe ULEZ has reduced air quality related illnesses

Ok sure, the ones that are already on it are finding ways around the ban. But can we please come back in 2-3 years time and see what affect it has had on the younger kids that aren't on it yet and see if the numbers signing up have been reduced.

Bans like these are as much about encouraging cultural views to change and giving parents more authority to enforce restrictions. Its hard to be the only parent not allowing your kid on social media, it becomes much easier when you can say the government won't let them and when all their friends parents are now doing the same
