Where's the government? Where's the crisis management? Why are they not even attempting to show they have any kind of grip on this?

It’s striking how synthetic meat is becoming left-coded – it reflects a broader decline in the quality of thinking on the right, with the “Hurr durr I am a big man who loves meat and killing things” tendency dominate everything else. open.substack.com/pub/vpostrel/p…

Ah, of course the Greta/pizza box thing was too good to be true.

Tate is an incredibly negative and dangerous influence on boys and young men. Him being locked up for a good while would be a huge win.
It always seems that more famous people die over the Christmas period. Is that an artifact of there being less other news so we notice more or a real phenomenon?

Great thread on how a fair few Tory seats are getting younger - unhelpfully for them.

Never paid for Twitter.@Samfrspare Btw, where I live near Sheffield the informal advice across local social media in Whatsapp groups and FB is to get a taxi to take any severely ill relation to A&E rather than wait for an ambulance
@Samfrspare Trying to show grip often also highlights the scale of a crisis. Sometimes in the interest of a government that public attention remains pointed elsewhere
@Samfrspare @jburnmurdoch If one believes the hypothesis that the Winter of Discontent left an electoral scar, turning a generation against Labour... ...it seems equally plausible that a lost decade of rotting public services and rhetorical attacks on Millenial/Gen Z values might do the same to the Tories
@LukeTryl @Samfrspare @gabrielmilland I think there will be civil war for a while after next GE. This isn't something you solve in a couple years.
@Samfrspare Yep, my eldest son told me all about him. A vile man.
@jon_severs @Samfrspare Sounds like Sam is predicting Labour strategy for 2023 will be the same as 1996 especially crumbling schools. A pity the TES back catalog is not available to see what was being said 27 years ago.
@Samfrspare @miss_mcinerney Hi from Penrith
@Samfrspare Most people, myself included until recently, don’t understand it. Also, the involvement with pensions makes everyone jittery to criticise. Overall I think PE contributes importantly to the economy but we probably ought to have protected some services more from it.
@Samfrspare Housing is a really interesting example. Widnes house prices have gone crazy. But, in many ways, it’s fair enough. The houses & town have had so much work I think they’re objectively worth more now. The problem is affordability. You need to inherit money to afford one!
@Samfrspare I’ve spent much of this Christmas pondering the structural issues of advanced capitalism. I think it’s underlying a lot of what’s going on. The system seems to inevitably bend towards the concentration of wealth in fewer & fewer hands.
@Samfrspare Yeah, and that's why I think it's so important to talk about social values as well as cultural ones. Though it's notable that Brexit wasn't the only populist change movement at the time – you've got indyref the year before, and Corbynism too!
@Samfrspare @jburnmurdoch There was always this odd thing that the "values are immutable" people assumed that younger people would abandon theirs as soon as they hit 45.
@Samfrspare And also the Conservative party has become more toxic. Brexit and their views on immigration likely repelling those voters even where they may become more economically or socially conservative with age.
@Samfrspare @jburnmurdoch The rightification of my generation saddens me. Imagine growing up listenening to The Smiths then choosing to follow the example of 'that' former member
@Samfrspare My son has just brought up the triple lock again.
@Samfrspare I object to GenX hovering above the 60 year old mark. It’s hard enough for us as it is!
@Samfrspare @MikeMcKTFC You may already know this but there were trials of voter ID in 2019, eg this one I remember voting in, in Watford. watfordobserver.co.uk/news/16365323.…
@Samfrspare It's the same in Australia and one of the explanations why Labor is doing so well in recent elections there. Amplified because they have compulsory voting so younger generations vote.
