I just interviewed James Daunt, the ceo of Waterstones (and Barnes and Nobel in the US). Genuinely fascinating- he’s full of optimism for the high street, the Budget and books! Will play some on #r4Today Friday morning and the rest will be available in our Big Boss Interview podcast first thing

This is tomorrow and it’s going to be fascinating. Join us for the #HolyoakeLecture in Manchester with James Bloodworth, where we’ll delve into why so many young men are being drawn into extreme online subcultures, what’s driving the trend, and what it means.

This has always, always been my issue with Avatar. We don’t quote it, I’ve never seen tattoos from it, it very rarely gets satirised (I think big bang theory once dressed up as them?) - it’s just a cultural nothingness. The most remembered thing about it is how expensive it is
Is there any fandom for Avatar?
I haven't seen any collectables in comic book shops.
It's like the movies are released, make a billion dollars and are then erased from the collective consciousness.

Growing up with a sister who has a learning disability, I’ve seen people shout the R word at her. That was in the 80s and 90s. Now we’re in the 2020s and I am seeing world leaders and tech leaders use it and I cannot begin to tell you how devastating that is.

I once got quite far in planning an article where I costed the Budget one year but in Freddos, the chocolate frogs. Actually would be about as useful as talking about billions - it’s very hard to get your head around public spending
I think there might be a case for retiring millions and billions from our vocabulary entirely, and expressing public spending as multiples of a house price.

when one first knew about death? There must have been one, a moment, in childhood, when it first occurred to you that you don't go on forever.

Previously every generation thought they had been the one to discover sex. Cut to the modern day where people apparently think they have discovered ‘being unhappily married’

Reflecting on this. It was a a busy week but I was wrong about this - no major reforms to stamp duty, income tax rates, tax cliff edges. Biggest tax increases delayed rather than immediate. Huh.
I really do expect that this could be the most significant Budget I’ve ever covered, for a few different reasons (contents of, politics around, societal challenges). It’s going to be quite a week I think.
Covering the Stephen Nolan show on 5 Live tonight (9-12) and then it’s Budget weeeeeek! I feel SO ALIVE

I’m glad the Budget is finally over so I have a clear three weeks to concentrate on the primary school Christmas admin.
