Steve Richards talks about effective leaders being political teachers. This is the area where Starmer and Reeves have fallen short. They have made no real attempt to explain what they are doing and why they are doing it. Every government of my lifetime has wanted “growth”.

If people had wanted Tory politics they’d have voted Tory - as it is, ppl voted to GTTO. I’m fairly confident most ppl will vote LD or Green next time, because they won’t be able to square it with their consciences ( or their finances) to vote Labour - unless things change.

Weird. This Gatwick Express toilet won’t let you press ‘water’ before ‘soap’. And if there’s one thing I’ve learnt about using train toilets worldwide, it’s CHECK THE WATER FIRST.

Their Lordships seem to have got their model wrong. This is hard technical stuff - but so is any attempt to influence mainstream economic thinking.
For those who are not already members of the 99% Organisation, here is a copy of this week’s letter to members.
We look at Lord Darzi’s excellent report into the NHS, and at Lord Bridges' rather less professional report into the state of the national debt.
