Everyone who chooses to drive in a city centre has a directionally similar impact (potentially bigger magnitude because vehicle traffic is pretty lethal). I don’t think anyone disagrees with the principal, they just have different thresholds for personal freedom vs impact on those around you.
I think it’s hard not to see a culture/class aspect to this when wood burners continue to be used without much limitation.
“bOtH sIdEs”. no. absolutely not. Criticise starmer, sure, but it’s a joke to even begin to compare him to the decade of enablement by the tories.
“derisking” is just making explicit the agency problems that came to light in the financial crisis. If private money isn’t being rewarded for bearing some of the risk, what is it for? Such a stupid idea.
I wish I didn’t. Manosphere bilge.
In fairness. “net zero” has a precise but pimited meaning. If anything using “net zero” as shorthand for “zero net increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide” is deficient in the first place. It’s snappy and (reasonably) clear but very easy to twist or repurpose or reframe.
OK so you’re just here to strawman and insult. Thanks for outing yourself.
I don’t see it. And who gives a shit what the logo is? Is this all journalism has to offer?Bacon sandwich-gate tier piss taking…
Just an example, take caring for my kids or decorating my house or even working out if you don’t like that one. What do you mean by “the other direction”?
AV was a different kettle of fish. Garbage turnout and masses of undecideds in polling. I don’t think anyone ever thought it was nailed on even if technically AV was ahead in some polls. Point stands though.
It is tricky to make something both snappy and accurate. I think anti-JOB might have worked better, but it sounds like a sex strike, so don’t put me in charge of marketing.
When I dig my garden I am doing work. That obviously entails no wage labour let alone labour exploitation. Why is it hard to belive people might be against wage labour in its present form but not against fulfilling, self directed labour?
Black lives matter is the least hyperbolic statement of that movement imaginable. That there was pushback even on that framing speaks more to the vile ess of its opponents than to a failure of marketing.
You might want to put it on your list but it’s the opposite problem to your other examples if anything.
He’s using those words to defend not giving benefits to the parents of a third child though. It’s just double speak: “it’s not about handouts is about a social safety net”. By playing into the framing of social safety nets as handouts he just defends the status quo. Definitely no evidence he really gets it.
Why reference a fable at all if you’re going to totally ignore it’s message?
The tories have been the same arrogant, entitled breed the whole time. Labour have still lost to them repeatedly so it seems weird to chalk it up to luck this time.
Best I’ve seen so far is the independent and, while they add some sensible context, even they are quoting sunak as if he’s speaking in good faith.
It pisses me off that this getting coverage when it contains no actual new information and is so obviously a conservative communications strategy.
Rishi is not accepting the rejection of his ideas at all. He’s conjuring the spectre of hung parliament as a rallying cry to disaffected tory voters. Maria Caulfield quote about the differences between local and govt elections really hammers this home and every media outfit is blithely repeating it all like they’re tory sock puppets.
In context, “overtones” is a pretty decent autocorrect for Overton here.
Yeah way too literal to be emtertaining. I guess if your reaction to the mayoral campaign is disaffected “both sides” BS (though no well informed person holds that view) then it would work shrugs. I’m sure as shit not reading the article because if their headline writing is that lazy I doubt there’s anything of value beyond it.

Thus spectacularly failing to follow his own advice in the space of about 30s.
Could at least have chosen something halal/kosher.
