Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:
One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

The Anton Valley
Looking south down the Anton Valley towards its joining the Test. The road is the A3057 from Andover to Romsey.
Not in a National Park or a National Landscape, but there are some fine routes for walking or cycling round here.

Setting #Reform policies beside, Zia Yusuf comes across as very annoying. Given he's everywhere it demos the lack of serious people in the party.

I’m told Labour MPs have been told by whips to *abstain* in the vote on Nigel Farage’s ten-min rule bill on leaving the ECHR, which has left some furious. Whips’ arguments seems to be to just ignore it. Labour MPs worry it leaves Lib Dems/Greens looking like only they care on this.
