"Brexit didn’t behave like a normal economic shock. There was no singular collapse or dramatic turning point. Instead, it created a rolling fog of uncertainty that has lasted almost a decade. It made it impossible for thousands of firms to plan." ~AA

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 6:
The trad publishing industry has many flaws. But if you want to be part of it, you have to understand it. That means: gatekeeping; filling in forms; accepting editorial advice. Don't blame the system if you don't get exactly what you want. Embrace it, or step away.

A former guest who knows him, once told me that Trump sees politics as a reality show. Whatever else happens, by Friday every week, he has to "win the episode", ensure he's the principal character, make the last shot.
Once you tune into that, everything begins to make a twisted sort of sense.

Why is it in the UK only #BBC Director-Generals & senior staff who resign & are held accountable when their organisation is in crisis? Only the BBC seems to be held accountable. Unlike banks; the post office scandal; NHS; Farage & Brexit where people can lie & nothing happens.

Confused by the complete change of staff at the post office this afternoon. What’s happened to all the lovely people I used to chat with? All gone. Does anyone know what’s going on?

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.
The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.
