Link to another story where Glasgow Council is accused of 'hypocrisy' by a tory for failing to do the thing that Edinburgh council is being criticised by a different tory for doing.

I think 'mansion tax' is a good name

'I sleep' meme with captions:
"95% of people cannot access a good due to the natural, inevitable operation of the market economy" - guy is asleep
"96% of people cannot access a good due to the operation of the market economy plus a bit of extra tax" - Agent activated

"Wow so it's illegal to believe people can change now?"

New right wing thing is describing crimes as generically as possible to pretend like they're not crimes. Someone gets convicted of conspiracy and they start yelling "Wow so it's illegal to make plans with friends now"

I'm sure you're right, but i think if it wasn't for those limitations they'd be *too good* to be 'dark horses' and would just be straight-up 'one of the favourites'.

However, West says she was putting the cabinet “on notice” and if she does not hear from a leadership hopeful by Monday she would ask Labour MPs to back her to trigger a contest.

Iris Duane becomes the second openly trans MSP ever elected to Holyrood, after Q Manivannan was elected on the Edinburgh regional list earlier.

Duane was elected on the Glasgow regional list, and both of the new MSPs come from the Scottish Green Party.

If that *is* a real person I'm not sure they are of sound mind - here's them three days ago staunchly defending starmer

Bluesky post saying Starmer "remains a welcome contrast to BJ and other predecessors. Who could possibly replace him on the international stage right now?"

"They haven't even done that" That's been their policy since long before ZP took over. Manifesto from 2024:

Our Fairer, Greener Homes
Guarantee
Most people’s energy bills are unnecessarily high
because the UK has the worst insulated homes in
Europe. By investing in energy efficiency to reduce
the loss of heat, we can help everyone live in a
warmer home and lower their bills: the cheapest
bill is the one you don’t have to pay.
Elected Greens will invest:
• £29bn over the next five years to insulate
homes to EPC B standard or above, as part of
a ten-year programme. £12bn of this will be to
retrofit the social housing stock and £17bn as
grants to retrofit privately owned homes to a
similar standard.
• £4bn over the next five years to insulate
other public buildings to a high standard. This
is primarily for schools and hospitals, as part
of a ten-year programme. £1bn will be made
available as grants to retrofit private sector
buildings to a similarly high standard.
• £9bn over the next five years for heating
systems (e.g. heat pumps) for homes and
other buildings.
• £7bn over the next five years to adapt homes
to avoid over-heating in the hotter summers.
The Green Party will introduce a local-authorityled, street-by-street or area-based retrofit
programme to insulate our homes, to provide nonfossil-fuel heat and start to adapt our buildings to
the more extreme weather.
To achieve this, we will put in place the finance
and foster the community buy-in needed for this
national effort.
Financing our Fairer, Greener Homes Guarantee
will come from common sense changes in each
housing sector:
Social housing: We want to see an end to
competitive bidding for the social housing

I mostly haven't been participating in this, because the answer is always 'whatever version of championship manager/football manager just came out' but putting one here in honour of a particularly fine vintage.

If you want to move a lot of people through a limited amount of road space, it's pretty much the only option.

Graphic illustrating the following comparison:
To carry 50000 people per hour, per direction, a city needs either:
-a 175m wide road used only by cars;
-a 35m wide road used only by buses; or
-a 9m wide track for metros
