Thank you for pushing through and not letting 'the guys' overtalk you. It's completely true that Jeremy Vine's career depends on this problem never being solved. Vine's career does depend on him being able to talk about migrants endlessly just like Farage.

Lead Kamala. Take up your position at the front.
I know it's dangerous but people need leadership to SHOW up and triage.
If this had happened under your watch in the WH....you would have SHOWN UP. Not to grandstand or detract but to redirect the performance and spectacle back to sanity.

"The train's pulling outta the station. Getton board"
More like: "The combi-harvester's heading your way (I'm a driver)...Outta the way or you'll lose more than a job."
Absolutely no solutions offered to a downward spiral of wages.
Me to the average CEO: "What's forcing your hand? Do better."

Good thread and well put....promises of prosperity are like promises someone will win the lottery. Most who play are simply out of pocket. Ah! they say, but if you're not 'in it' you can't 'win it'...
I want a job that can support me. Not another 'visioning' session. 😑

Your takes are 100% 'blue sky'. When secretaries & stenographers existed on meager wages the cost of living was 1/3 of today's. Now, an entire day as a 'Fiver' freelancer makes ~$35. = Nil for food.
AI re: wholesale job loss devalues everyone & increases externalisation costs back onto the consumer.

Shame on BBC Newsnight. Are you taking a % of book sales to flog this crap for/with Tapper?
Honestly this isn't worthy news of a formally great programme. Bring back Kirsty Wark! and Stephen Sackur while you're at it!

Revealing....

An extremely disappointing and gaslight-y statement. If Dems are meant to make change then the literal mood lighting has to right? What would MLK say?

I can't even fathom this. Dystopian fiction.

BBC Newsnight: WHY are you platforming this grifter. He was a failure in Trump 1.0 and could be simply the vilest liar you can find?
You don't have to compete with GBNews for pity's sake! Victoria deserves better interviewees--with brains!

On so many occasions he near-misses the actual thing he's saying. There's gotta be a noun for that. Help from any lexicographer?

Interesting cross-ref:https://nypost.com/2025/01/29/business/ex-commerce-secretary-says-elon-musks-doge-should-target-world-bank/

I don't know. Just seen and would love verification or debunk.
There are rumors that the 'other security' that comes with DOGE is Eric Prince's private goon squad.

In Italian (its origin language) you'd say it like: Doh-jey. That vocalisation immediately conjures British slang where you'd say: 'well dodgy' ie--> very suspect.
