He is not wrong @georgemonbiot.bsky.social This was highlighted also by the wonderful @mrjamesob.bsky.social today.
The way that the media works today hand in hand with social media platforms reach the younger, more impressionable voter far better than at any time in political history.

This. An emergency recall of parliament on a weekend for British Steel. Nothing at all for UK HE which employs far more people, has already shed 10,000 academic jobs, with several institutions on the brink of collapse.

A reminder: we train all the doctors, teachers, engineers, nurses, lawyers &c &c
British Steel employs 3.6k people. Coventry Uni group, which auditors say may not survive, employs 7.7k. But there is an emergency debate in parliament for British Steel and nothing for the whole HE sector imploding
Why is the government and the news so indifferent to the meltdown happening in UK #HigherEd right now?

Our universities are the envy of the world. Yet we are at risk of losing a generation of academics and damaging the sector beyond repair.

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country

"...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

Welcome to the latest episode of People Are Shocked By British Infrastructure Failures Despite The Litany Of Previous British Infrastructure Failures
This is the largest and most significant airport in what is still one of the world’s largest economies. How on EARTH can a substation fire take it out for at least 24 hours?!

Quelle-fucking-surprise!!!
In a surprise development, support for conscription is much higher among cohorts old enough to know it definitely won't apply to them
🆕A third of Britons would support conscription if the UK were to enter a war and required soldiers, but there are significant age variations - 60% of those aged over 60 would support reintroduce conscription in those circumstances compared to 20% of Gen Z and 27% of Millennials
