Does London need better cross-Thames transport links? Y

Is having a road tunnel open to petrol and diesel road vehicles a terrible polluting, climate-busting idea? Y

Could/should Khan reimagine the tunnel as a cycle & electric vehicle only or rail link instead? YYY

Sort it out Mr Mayor for chrissakes, it's not rocket science.

I read it was a 35p offer yesterday, how many kilowatt hours, or even minutes do you get for 50p these days. CUNTS

yeah that Rishi video is good but people have been writing about that since the Cameron era. And it was never deemed important enough to lead the news. It will be forgotten by tomorrow and it's music to the ears of the membership.

There are wildcat strikes at a couple of other Amazon centres too.

it's like hardt and negri were right all along!

^ Now post this on anarcho twitter

seen a bunch of sniffy tweets about h&n lately, not having it

what's their analysis? what's the beef with it? is there a good introductory text or something

Ask them on twitter and let us know what they say!

damn, I thought they were a trance dj duo!

Upmarket west end furniture store.

did anyone read the DL interview with that risible moron from Muse? Probably not cos nobody wants to read such rank garbage, but he nervously dips his toes into UK politics and said he used to be left libertarian but now he's come up with a new third way model that he labels META-CENTRISM!!

I haven't seen the link and don't want to.

This could be big:

Never meta-centrist I liked.

Dockers going on strike is more like the 60s than the 70s... and they can wreak serious havoc.

Dentistry is collapsing.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/aug/08/diy-dentistry-on-the-rise-as-90-of-nhs-practices-not-seeing-new-patients?

if you do manage to get an NHS dentist they treat you like shit, as in constant reminders that if you miss one appointment your gone and the contempt they have when you turn down the stuff you have to pay for. Like pointlessly expensive appointments with a dental hygienist who'll tell you your teeth are fucked and your brushing technique is wrong whilst charging you £60 to give them a scraping .

As well as trying to get you to buy a thing to stick in your mouth to stop you grinding your teeth, because, if dentists are to be believed,everybody does this. You can buy a mouth guard you wear at night anywhere but they try and push you to buy one from them that costs an arm and a leg.

Anyone doing any opposition in one tweet.

Enough is enough. It's time to turn anger into action.

Aditya seems to have forgotten there still would have been austerity if there had been a Broon/LibDem coalition in 2010 and nobody gives a fuck about how *grown up* former PM's are. It has always been a cross party project and they are all cunts.

xxp

and trying to sell you these ridiculous looking double headed tooth brushes for quadruple the price you'd find them on e-bay for.

Lol we get the reminders to come in but every time we try to book it they say they don’t have a dentist who can see us. The practice has been down a dentist for like three months. I guess nobody wants to do the NHS work. They’re chocka with private appointments though.

I can't complain about my current dentist, he's actually very good. It's a young nerdy guy who is very fast and no nonsense. And he did a cap for me and fitted in a minor filling in the same appointment. The last one I had would have stretched it to an extra appointment. And he was a tyrannical shitbag who was frequently rude and irritable to his assistant and always giving me shit about not brushing my wisdom teeth properly. "If you are going to keep ignoring my advice we might as well pull them out now". Just get on with it twat, didn't come here to be lectured to!

not sure why the guardian article didn’t mention the doc “disappearing dentists” but here it is, came out today:

Reclaim These Streets received hundreds of thousands of pounds for legal action over the Clapham Common vigil they didn't even attend, but none of it seems to have gone to support people who actually went there & faced police violence & arrests - they're all having to crowdfund https://t.co/If6JeBpWSR

They gave the funds raised to another women’s group to dole out about a month after the Clapham Common incident.

🚨 NEW: Truss leads Starmer in Best Prime Minister poll.

🔴 Keir Starmer 35% (-)

This is Truss's biggest lead so far (3pts).

“beat truss in a general” the new “organise a piss-up in a brewery”

Kieth must go, it gives me no pleasure to say this

it takes real talent to be a less convincing PM candidate than Truss, and Special K is a natural. Although I can't imagine any of the other front runners for succeeding him doing much better tbh. Even Reeves who is a more convincing evil tory than Truss wouldn't beat her because she'd be offering miserly shit like knocking half a pence off fuel duty in that ghoulish voice. Labour are so shit right now even friend of the bankers Brown has to temper what he says when criticising the govt so as to not embarrass Kieth.

Ed Davey calling for ten more years of austerity.

Exclusive - Ed Davey calls for ‘energy furlough scheme’ to avoid October price cap rise, *cancelling* the £1400 rise in its entirety and having govt absorb the £36bn cost (paid in part via new windfall tax) https://t.co/SQpej933YM

— Jessica Elgot (@jessicaelgot) August 8, 2022

with all the "never trust a Lib Dem" provisos to be taken as read, at least that's... something rather than the sweet FA the Labour Party is currently offering?

indeed

xyz why are you calling that proposal 10 years of austerity? idgi

Any policies Davey floats (even if they sound half reasonable) would get so watered down in a coalition with either party that his words are just air, as ineffectual as Gordon Brown's useless intervention yesterday.

Hasn't Sunak been proposing a combination of tax rises and further austerity to pay for the covid furlough scheme?

I agree that's at least a serious policy proposal. But it's also avoiding nationalisation..

that video of him shredding the eu laws is worrying (the eu laws we had a veto for but only used 7 times in 40 something years)
