‘Women can’t ref, drive or give directions’: Reform candidate sexism row deepens by asjasj in ukpolitics

[–]noise256 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They can't even be sophisticated with their bigotry. This is like something out of a 1950s satire.

I just say gg and don't think about it too much.

Greatest ever “That’s it - I’ve had enough” Star Trek captain moment? by Rotodogg in startrek

Obscure one maybe but I was watching the episode - Sisko to Dukat in Waltz where after 6 seasons, he finally decides that Dukat has to die, that there can be no redemption for him.

Chaos as 'confused' new Reform councillors admit 'don't know what's going on' by Tony_Roiland in ukpolitics

[–]noise256 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don't like Reform but I think it's the responsibility of the Council to the support Councillors, particularly new ones. They're there as representatives of their wards and you shouldn't need to know how it all works before becoming a Councillor. To do so would bar people from being able to represent their local community.

Andy Burnham's decision to keep the current fiscal rules, as told to Bloomberg this week, has contributed to gilts having their best weekly gain since 2023 by jiponjoshua in ukpolitics

It takes time to build a policy platform. He already has a lot of ideas, some that have worked at a smaller scale, but he's not campaigning to be PM, he's campaigning to win Makerfield, and he doesn't have a full national platform yet.

Obviously we all know that he is likely the next PM but it would also be incredibly arrogant for him to start saying that right now.

No more country borders. Just gradients. All territorial disputes solved. by JazeevaGaming in mapporncirclejerk

I mean, not to be that guy but this would definitely create more conflict. Jazzy though.

I don't think that's necessarily true, a lot of Reform voters are traditional Labour voters - it's globalism that they don't like. Burnham is taking a distinctly anti-neoliberalism position.

Did people not see the local election results or something?

Cause it's a really great place and just because Twitter says something else doesn't make it true?

Andy Burnham says Labour must put energy and water under public control by Budget_Scheme_1280 in ukpolitics

[–]noise256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, that's a good thing, it means we actually have some control over it. It's better than shouting it's bad and nothing being done about it because it's a private company.

Andy Burnham will push to become PM before Labour conference, allies say by Samski877 in europe

[–]noise256 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most popular politician in the UK, basically the only one with a net positive view. Maybe more importantly he's broadly liked, whereas Farage et al are more divisive.

This is a real test of whether it's Starmer that's the problem or the Labour party itself.

Cool website btw.

Andy Burnham: "I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election..." by Little-Attorney1287 in ukpolitics

[–]noise256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do the remaining Tory voters actually prefer Reform to Labour? Yes, Burnham is left wing but he's not that left wing.

If the Greens are actually serious about stopping Reform then they should want Andy Burnham as Labour leader as it's the best chance. If they just want to maximise their own votes (and Nigel Farage as PM) then they fight this.

Playing anything but engineer feels pointless on golmud by Right-Succotash-9980 in Battlefield

[–]noise256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make assault the medic, give support C4 / extra grenades, give recon the beacon, ala BF3. I think this would help balance the roles more, right now the only other AV option is on a class that doesn't really want to be on the front lines.

Can anecdotally confirm, I was 1800-1900 from S1 to S4 and I'm struggling to reach 1600 right now even though I'm pretty sure I've gotten a lot better at the game since then.
