2024’s latest polling miss.
Found this 1992 @LabourParty policy review booklet - sounds so familiar - underlines the lack of long-term investment by subsequent govts - these promised changes could still be put in any booklet today and similar to current PM’s speech last week

Was so delighted to be on this trip and this piece by Kavya Khatri really sums up why we all got so much out of being there and seeing the final week of the US election up close schoolsweek.co.uk/nothing-trum...
You can't trump political engagement for raising aspirations
Engaging in the US presidential election on a trip to DC was life-changing. Let's do more of it at home

‘Middle aisle widows’ lose men to Lidl’s tempting tool bargains
The central displays of gadgets and boys’ toys are so successful they cause family rows, said the supermarket’s chief executive

Such a generous, warm and respected colleague - always happy to steer younger London-based reporters like me who’d turn up for a few days to cover big NI news - he’d share contacts, tips and a laugh and I’ll be forever grateful. Wonderful man. www.itv.com/news/utv/202...

Thinking about it more, in some ways it’s really the perfect twist: given how regularly polls show that Brits love banning things we’re now discussing banning the polls themselves.
Take what I say with recognition of self interest but here's why I think this would be a bad idea. 1) Levido talks about morale - but all this would do would mean the final poll/MRP would be two weeks before, not sure how that would improve morale
Opinion polls are inaccurate, distort political debate and should be banned during the final weeks of an election campaign.
That’s the view of the strategist who led the British Conservative Party’s operations in 2024 and 2019.

Social media exodus may make us all calmer
Since Twitter became X, a trend has grown for sharing online space with people we might admire rather than loathe
