Imagine dropping political leanings into an ice breaker. Absolute barm pots them lot.

“I like baking”
“ I ran a triathlon”
“My daughter was on X factor”
“I for as long as I live will never and I mean never vote labour while Jeremy Corbyn is leader”
“I’m a scout leader”

Literally no reason for anyone outside the built environment sectors to care about the commission this is referring to but I enjoyed how savage bits of this is

Especially coming from dezeen, which is like 75% “look at this gorgeous custom built house” pieces.

This was also good (and the Hatherley thread it links too)

Big tennis fan so pretty likely.

This will probably get lost in the Brexit coverage, but needs to be read:

Yeah unions should definitely be better represented in media shouldn’t they, this is great from Mark Serwotka

Just a shame about all those dead girls in the can.

Also got lost that there’s been 6 (I think) dwp secretaries in the last 2 years, at the same time as they’re trying to roll out universal credit.

Some people should literally be in prison for this

Fucking £6 for a month… :frowning:

although we’re all aware of the untold misery the tories have inflicted on the poor, it’s utterly devastating to see all of it summarised in this article.

disgusting that none of the tories are likely to ever feel an ounce of shame for implementing any of these policies.

the quotes are completely damning:

‘On food banks, he said: “I was struck by how much their mobilisation resembled the sort of activity you might expect for a natural disaster or health epidemic.”’

‘“If you got a group of misogynists in a room and said how can we make this system work for men and not for women they would not have come up with too many ideas that are not already in place,” he said.’

Great career move, innit. Majority of wafer thin proportions, picking up one of the most poisoned of chalices…

I think my fundamental problem is I can’t understand why anyone would actively be trying to remain an MP at the moment.

not heard of Mordaunt until recently, reckon she’s actually death itself in corporeal form

She took a bet at some army bash to inset the words cock and balls into a speech she made in the Commons as many times as possible. That’s a mark of the BANTZ woman.

I’ve known of her for ages, purely through her typically high ranking on highly esteemed politics website sexymp.co.uk.

in an ice breaker over the summer a man told me that he’d not missed (i assume meaning watched at some point rather than watching live) any episode of Neighbours in the last 15 years

pretty mad

The woman in the job centre … tried to give my mum a leaflet on how to budget £6 for the month.

genuinely think Chris Morris would’ve thought ‘nah that just sounds a bit nasty’ rather than going with this as a satirical line

BUT IT’S NOT IT’S FUCKING REAL
