Honestly they’re all shite. I’ve whined before about the quality of MPs the selection process produces.

Neil Coyle is the Sunderland of Labour MP’s - thinks he has a divine right to be considered a ‘top-tier’ MP when in reality he’s a small-time prick living in the past.

Study in Iceland Shows 4-Day Workweek Trial is 'Overwhelming Success'
"The Icelandic shorter working week journey tells us that not only is it possible to work less in modern times, but that progressive change is possible too," said Alda researcher Gudmundur D. Haraldsson.

I’d never have the option due to the nature of my work but I wouldn’t begrudge others the possibility. My wife in her work could definitely do a 4 day week.This is an interesting story.

I'm in the "good idea" camp for sure
Been proven to work, good for people. Lots of places starting to roll it out, or at least a version of it via flexitime.

This is what I mean about The Express
If their readership really buys articles like this and think that will show the EU, Brexit wins again then they’re dribbling idiots.

As Schmmeee indicates, its unlikely these 3 articles from a Boris Johnson fanzine are providing a neutral viewpoint

Only did the first one, London is back ahead by <€1bn after being ahead in Dec by >€12bn.
Wasn’t my point though, as the articles in the Guardian are as bad the other way.

No your point was that articles on either side are usually biased which I agree the Telegraph and Guardian routinely prove.
The difference being 90% of print media leans heavily to the right

The first story doesn’t make up for the lost revenue for the city. No Brexit win.
The Nissan story seems to be regurgitated every month, it’s only actually happened once, Nissan actually already had a battery factory next door to the car plant while we were in the EU and given that the electric car market is a growing market and the future you’d be hard pushed to say this investment wouldn’t have happened anyway.
Haven’t read the third story but I dare say that the “EU” plot was just actually what was always going to happen when we left as per the rules we helped write decades ago. So no plot, just what it is.

Both are probably as bad as the other, which was really the point of my post - that the relentless, daily posting of the guardian and twitter feeds here have an opposite number that we can all choose to dance around, not that I can be bothered quite frankly.

No I agree, and could have answered the same to those posts, but yaknow biases.
Genuine question though. It's a topic I find really hard to source decent news. Those that care enough to report have an angle and those that don't have an angle don't care. So it's just the stream of bullshit from both sides. Which I guess means there's nothing to report of note. Probably best to reconvene in five years and look at the data.

I think being in the Lords gives you more freedom to not tow the line. Most of the moderates have been removed after the necessity to pledge allegiance to Boris and his Brexit deal at the last election.

I saw that too, and he is dead right.
People starting to see what the knee is about now when we do it- nothing to do with politics, all about standing up to the kind of shit some people get up to

Good. She’s done more to promote the acceptance of racism than any politician since Enoch Powel. She’s earned being called out.

What is gesture politics and what isn't: Priti Patel explains
I’VE been in politics long enough to know what’s important and what’s a mere gesture by deluded millionaire Marxists who should stick to football. Let me explain.

Southgate said that we were taking the knee to show solidarity against racism. People got all wound up saying it was wrong, people should be allowed to boo, and it had a different agenda. Racism shows it’s ugly head after the football and all of a sudden the same people are saying what a disgrace racism is, or have just gone strangely quiet. Now everyone sees what the knee is against and I hope it stays from now on.
