Rachel Reeves hopes for £50bn windfall with fiscal rules rejig in c/uk_politics
[–] mannycalavera 3 points 1 month ago

I'm guessing this isn't a new idea. Does anyone have any links as to why this reclassification hasn't been done by previous governments? I find it hard to believe that some junior intern has only just suggested the idea to the government in the last week.

I apologize ahead of time. I saw this, so you have to as well in c/tenforward@lemmy.world

David Lammy meets Israeli politician who called for Palestinians to 'starve to death' in c/uk_politics
[–] mannycalavera 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In his defence, the Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom has to meet with and negotiate with all kinds of unsavoury cunts across the globe. It kinda goes with the territory.

This is also, however, the same David Lammy that when questioned about calling for a vote on assisted dying and whether he would respect his constituent's preference for a vote said, "I will follow my faith and vote against it because I believe in the sanctity of life under God" (paraphrasing but pretty much this). That's not how you represent people you smarmy dick.

Unfortunately I think the calculation Lammy is doing is how many votes and how much money Labour will lose if they took a principled stance against Israel's actions in the Middle East.

Elon Musk’s X gives up fight in Brazil, starts complying with judge’s demands in c/technology@lemmy.world

Wasn't it a case of them ordering Elon to comply with the law, he played silly buggers with them by meming a response, so they started to take his assets away and he was like... wait no shocked Pikachu I will comply.

Absolutely amazing if this ever happened. Sadly I think this would need a large majority in the commons to get through. Too many "vested interests" will vote against so Labour need to force it through on their own and they can only do that with a majority. Great for headlines though.

As a side note I'm pissing myself at the unintentional sinister paragraph towards the bottom.

The FSB also welcomed Ms Reeves' proposals

Of course it did 😜
