    Keir Starmer

    Thanks Hucks, I am both being deliberately irritating about this and not. Ulitmately I don't even have much skin in the game as parliamentary politics is not my thing. Basically this isn't an exciting victory for Starmer. Thus far, he does not seem to have ignited the electorate in the way that...

    Keir Starmer

    Can this really be true? I thought the great british public was crying out for the sensible centrism of Sir Kieieieier and his definitely not socialist policies? What say the electoral experts and political pragmatists of Dissesnsus?

    Is it possible to be a serious person/have serious expereinces?

    Anything is possible. Everyone has had serious experiences. I’m not sure “serious” is a good identity to aspire to.

    Never going back to the office

    I can’t find it now, but there was huge support for going back to the office amongst retired people in one survey. Not for them, of course.

    Never going back to the office

    Here comes the Telegraph backlash though. Interesting because it also fits with the existential crisis of post-industrial masculinity. A new front in the culture war…

    A Walking Thread

    I walk for an hour every morning in the time I used to commute. 8-9. I go a bit mad otherwise. There are some fun related walk activities like watching the seasons change, or giving people directions, or scraping off covid denial stickers too.

    Keir Starmer

    I inadvertently lent the Labour candidates in my ward a phone charger. So in spite of myself I am supporting Sir Kieier’s efforts by dint of being neighbourly and community minded.

    Keir Starmer

    I guess it depends where you live. I'm not really up on the tensions between Plaid, the SNP and Sir Keier's Labour Party myself. I am interested in the unfolding narrative of the erosion of the Labour base in the North of England though. If others have good contributions to make about the...

    Never going back to the office

    At our place when we advertise for jobs we can now choose from people all over the UK instead of near London. Potentially all over the world barring time differences I guess. A few people who we’ve interviewed have said that they were quite happy with their current job until they were told to...

    Never going back to the office

    My parents ask me if I’m back in the office yet each time I speak to them. I suspect in my Dad’s case it’s so he can then ask me if the trains are alright. I keep telling them it’s not going to happen again but I think they just can’t get their heads around it after a lifetime of “going to...

    PLEASE READ: Guidance for events listings

    At least I don't think so. I guess I wouldn't like it if they were aimed at defrauding people or similar.
