Prison shouldn’t just be for the scum minority of our country. We have some of the worst prisons in the world. 50% of our young deserve to go to prison.
Many will be the first in their family to go to prison. We propose a prison loan system where a modest fee is collected and only repayable after spending several years or more in a long serving person sentence.
Unite, Labour’s biggest trade union backer, has refused to endorse the party’s general election manifesto, saying it does not go far enough on protecting workers’ rights and jobs in the oil and gas industry.

Are we suggesting defederating everyone on lemmy.ml? Or just certain users that break feddit.uk’s rules? Sorry I am not up to speed on how to defederate. I would say defederate single users (if you can) who break the rules but also track how many you need to defederate per instance to decide if it’s just not worthwhile and instead defederate the whole instance. For example if you end up defederating 10 users a month then… meh… that’s not so bad. But if you need to do 10 a day then fuck that. You decide what the appropriate numbers are, mine are hypothetical.
If they’re not breaking our rules then forget about them. It’s a losing battle to change their minds so just workaround them.
Having said that, I do also think we should stop calling them tankies as a pergorative. If we are complaining that they don’t have basic respect for their users then we should probably set an example and not stoop to name calling.
We’ve seen the desperation that fourteen year’s of Tory chaos has brought us. They’ve even stooped so low as to lie in order to gain votes. Now that I am your prime minister I promise I will never lie and I will work tirelessly to improve the country for everyone.
Heckling news journo:
What about HumanPenguin’s suggestion about making it illegal to lie in politics?
Starmer:
Now is not the time to introduce laws when our country is hurting, our children are hurting, our NHS is hurting after fourteen years of Tory chaos. We need to heal the division and come together. I’ve said that we won’t lie and you should just trust me.
Rishi coming off better in this question of retirement tax than Starmer. All he has to say is “under Liz Truss, under Liz Truss”. Poor from Starmer on that one.
On the immigration question I think they both came out pretty well. Appealing to their core voters I must admit. But strong responses from the both of them. Hard to judge between them on this issue. Basically if you want to believe Rishi then Starmer isn’t swaying you on this question, and if you want to believe Starmer then Rishi isn’t persuading you.
More aspirations from Starmer here, which I suspect is going to be an overall winner on this topic. Sunak’s go to answer is “no we can’t afford it so I’m not going to do it” seems a bit wet in comparison.
