The US constitution is terrible for many reasons, but perhaps foremost is whatever you might say about the constitution of Germany or New Zealand, they don't prioritise the rights of school shooters over school children.

When they make the inevitable drama about the disastrous Conservative General Election campaign, who should produce it?

Armando Iannucci would be the obvious choice, but James Cameron has more experience with gigantic waterlogged disasters.

"Under Paris" was a pretty entertaining movie. Hit all the Jaws beats (shark expert teams up with cop, mayor who doesn't want to cancel the big event etc) but with big twist ending.

Sunak's campaign advisors be like:

"Sure Rishi, just leave the D-Day Commemoration early so you can attend an ITV interview where you can deny being a liar. Starmer can fill in for you and shake hands with Biden and Zelensky and look prime ministerial for the morning papers in your absence".

Take a look at Europe right now with all its PR electoral systems and a rise in the far-right, and the center right forming coalitions with fascists.

FPTP should be scrapped in the UK because it's fundamentally undemocratic. But PR will not lead to better outcomes nor make people feel more enfranchised.

The reason Germany is so pro-Israel is because if the Zionist project fails people will realise we should have expelled all the Germans from Saxony in 1945 and made that the Jewish homeland instead.

Scrum is the ultimate pigeon manager move (pigeon as in someone who flies in, shits over everything, then flies away).

Take a tech team doing just fine with Kanban, managing themselves as per the Agile Manifesto, then shackle them with Scrum "to shake things up".

What a reckless article by The Guardian’s Europe correspondent which betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of the Far Right.

Meloni being cozy with von der Leyen doesn’t mean Meloni isn’t as far right anymore. The piece itself documents her fascist politics against LGBTQ+ rights, the free press and immigration.

What it does mean is von der Leyen being fine with the Far Right under some conditions. It means the EU as a whole is fine with the Far Right. 1/2
