When you go around talking to people, it is screamingly obvious that the decision tree is:

1) Are you feeling economically insecure and hit by the cost of living?

2) If 'y', how do you feel about immigration

3) If you answer 'positive', please tick the box marked 'Zack Polanski'.

Traitors is a good demonstration of how the worst strategy in the game is to try and apply logic. Just leads to people saying “well a Traitor would say that!! I’m going to keep in the nice grandma because a nice grandma could never be a Traitor!”

I dunno I reckon this is about right, I've intended to do a lot of things in my garden but not many of them actually got done.

I bet 100% of adults intend to mow the lawn next weekend but not a lot of lawns will be mown

Rachel Reeves: You know you’d be personally richer and the economy would be better and you wouldn’t have to fix strangers’ boilers if you just put any savings you have in a stock tracker rather than buy to lets.

If a government with over 400 seats and 4 years left to govern cannot summon the courage to level with the public on social care then I despair at the capacity of our political system to ever deliver the change we need.

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.
