I would love to see Count Binface winning the election today. Behind the mask, he is a better person than the one who caused all this chaos.

I would rather like Count Binface to win in Clackton today. Clackton would get an MP that would actually represent them in the Commons, and probably be a positive force for the area.
However, I would be equally happy if Farage wins - he really hates being an MP, and seeing him struggle the job he's always demanded is just so... wonderful.

An interesting way to admit that zero-hours contracts are costing the UK’s poorest and most vulnerable workers £3bn a year.

The state of British media is both embarrassing and infuriating.

Resonates LOUD and clear: “its time for our political class to lead us towards a better prepared future not look to protect who has profited from the past....”

Beyond the headlines figures, there's little transparency over the extent of surveillance that those referred into Prevent will face.
Being neither wholly owned by policing or by counter-terrorism, there appears to be no oversight or parliamentary scrutiny of data sharing, processing and storage.

Prevent is expanding the surveillance state at an unruly rate.
Public sector workers shouldn't be co-opted as agents of counter-terror policing. People in need of support shouldn't be stigmatised as suspect.
We need real investment in education, community health services and local infrastructure.

Prevent is meant to identify people at risk of radicalisation before any crime has been committed.
But over 50% of referrals fall under 'no fixed ideology'.
And governments have added more categories into the mix, bloating the system with referrals that don't belong under a counter-terrorism lens.

Prevent referrals have shot up by ~40% in England and Wales 📈
Kids, teens and vulnerable people are being pushed into a mass surveillance programme where 80% of referrals don't go anywhere. But their data remains in the system.
It’s clear that a programme designed for counter-terrorism has lost the plot.

Under 18s make up the majority of referrals into Prevent.
Over a third are people with mental health conditions and people who are neurodivergent.
Often referrals are made to fast track people to get support. Long-term surveillance is the trade off.
Prevent is the wrong answer.

This video introduced me to the idea of rock- paper- scissors for politics.Populist politics beats serious politics.
Serious beats absurdAnd most importantly:
Absurd beats populist. -
"With the advent of cheap flights to Mediterranean resorts in the 1970s, the holiday industry began to decline. Pier Ward, in the centre of the town, is one of the poorest in England; nearby Jaywick was cited as the poorest of all in 2025.[11]"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clacton-on-Sea
"Clacton MP Nigel Farage, whose parliamentary constituency includes Jaywick, told the PA news agency he was "obviously sad that things aren't improving more quickly".
He said he believed he had "definitely helped" tourism in the area, with "having a high-profile MP helping to put Clacton on the map". But he added: "I'm doing what I can, but there's a limit to what one person can do.""

Burnham's first crisis as PM and he's nowhere to be seen.
It's COVID all over again, Westminster is not fit for purpose. But this is even less of a surprise than the Pandemic was, there is no excuse!

"Pop round to your neighbour's to see if they're dead" said the Prime Minister, in a cheery and helpful tone.
What help for the NHS Andy? Nothing but clapping is it, like with COVID?
Fuck's sake..
