Does anyone else long for the days when political journalism was about reportage and analysis rather than endless tittle-tattle and trying to shift public opinion?

Student loans need to be interest-free, don’t they?
Pay back only what you borrowed, at a reasonable rate, when you reach an appropriate earnings threshold.
The current system is so counter-productive to the long-term prosperity of the country it’s untrue.

For a party that opportunistically points fingers at every misstep that the Labour, and formerly Conservative, government makes and promises that only they can do better, ReformUK don’t half make a lot of fuck-ups.

Despite a 72-hour onslaught from almost the entire media, Starmer is still in post.
Perhaps they no longer have the power they once did? And that would be a very good thing.

Hounding out Starmer, and ultimately a Labour government that appear to be on the fringe of a global crime and corruption scandal, only ushers in a Reform or Conservative government that both appear to be at the very heart of it.
Be careful what you wish for.

There’s a v cynical media and political blindspot in the Epstein shitshow. A feeding frenzy to get rid of Starmer while red-carpeting Farage into No10. Who is named in the files. As is Candy, Reform’s treasurer. With Bannon. And Brexit.
Don’t cry about abuses of power and then do nothing about him.

Am I the only person that’s absolutely sick to death of the incessant “this must be the end of Starmer” narrative being rammed down our throats?
It’s been constant almost since the GE, no matter how trivial the issue. And, if he does go, the next Labour PM will face exactly the same. It’s mental.

So, main party wise, we have a choice of Labour, who seem to have been criminally idiotic about Mandelson, The Conservatives who seem to have actively colluded with disaster capitalists, or Reform who appear to be in deeper than the Tories.
Time for an investigation and major reset of UK politics.

Pubs may be closing, but padel courts are opening. Perhaps the way people like to spend time together is just changing.
Why does the narrative always have to be about decline?

I’m not saying this for effect, but I literally cannot understand the concept of patriotism.
I’m aware how privileged I am to have been born on one bit of the planet versus most others, but that piece of good fortune doesn’t make us better than anyone else. Why is our luck something to be proud of?

Does the world really need AI?
Or are the costs, both to the planet and to society, simply too great?
I appreciate this is the same argument that would have been made about The Industrial Revolution, but that was before we understood as much about climate change and societal collapse.

The same forces that weakened both the UK and EU through Brexit now seek to break NATO through the threatened annexation of Greenland.
It’s long past time to wake up and do something rather more effective than shrugging shoulders or tutting loudly.

Britain needs three rational conversations to get out if its economic malaise:
1. What is our future ‘industrial’ strategy and what skills will we need?
2. Why are so many working people still in poverty and how do we fix it?
3. What is the true impact of being out of the EU?

It might be the supply chain geek in me, but I think the introduction of customs charges on small parcel is a really significant change and it remains to be seen how that impacts both methods of fulfilment and prices for consumers.

For a bit of sport on a wet Saturday morning I thought I’d engage with a Neil Oliver post regarding ‘the Covid hoax’ over on the other place.
I regret to tell you that, based on the profoundly dumb and illiterate responses I received from the assembled masses, we’re fucked as a species.
