I have an extremely loose theory that part of the success of SQUID GAME and SHOGUN is that by using subtitles they actually demanded that the audience pay attention in an age of distraction and TV shows made for people half-watching

Lawyers for Liz Truss have asked me to stop saying Liz Truss crashed the economy. I only said Liz Truss crashed the economy because Liz Truss did crash the economy. If she wanted me to not say Liz Truss crashed the economy, she shouldn’t have crashed the economy.

Britain has the turning circle of a supertanker, not a skateboard.
Labour need to start laying the groundwork for a future Rejoin application now.
It can be step by step, but the first is to scuff out their bright red lines over never rejoining the SM, CU or EU. The more they repeat it, the worse.

As a passionate European, I find Labour intransigence on reintegration with Europe perplexing. Polls suggest the most in this country support rejoining in some form and Trump’s victory in the US leaves the UK dangerously isolated. Is it their fear of losing red wall support or something else?
