Great newsletter today. Also brave and very individual. I really appreciate your thought-filled journalism
Bravo!

A propos of nothing, I've been an FT subscriber for 50 years (save 4 in HK). I'm delighted that you're all here on Bluesky. Though I've read the paper before I get here. Can I gripe 1 gripe? Premium... Retired, it's expensive - I reckon we should get 'mates rates', just sayin'.

Hi Sander - golly, please post more on bluesky! I'm not going back to twitter, but you are a joy, you are happiness, you are immaculate - I hope you are having loads of fun, Lindsay xx

I'm card carrying tory, I don't like football, what's boxpark? BTW I don't like any of the shadow cabinet, I'm hoping to add my voice to a centrist movement - prolly 10 years away...

. @stephenkb.bsky.social oh golly. I told you so. Doesn’t she subscribe to your newsletter? This is madness, timing impeccably wrong.

. @stephenkb.bsky.social at FT has this perfectly analysed. A totally watertight logical set of observations and arguments that works. Except the present tories don't have a brain cell between them.

Hmmm, I really want to shift my allegiance to LibDem, but this blundering knee-jerk when diplomacy needs a cool head is better suited to a school playground. Come on Ed, earn my vote, grow up and get serious, please.

Just £1 a month is a fraudulent misrepresentation. I expect it to be honoured, along with my 'free' bottle of gin. Please provide an alternative link for me to sign-up to the offer you have advertised.

Golly, sorry to read that. You are my every day turn-to opinion former. OK so we are in our 70's haven't had a cold for years. Do you go out to cinemas, theatres a lot? Mmmm you do, take some precautions. But keep writing keen stuff!

Golly, reminds me of listening to a man called Bush saying on TV news "if the English language was good enough for the lord jesus christ, it's good enough for the children of Southern Texas." this is The Ministry of Truth 41 years later than predicted.

Great questions. Why no laughter?

Thanks, PS, I have voted LD in locals for a long time, they are brilliant - Henry Vann (I'm Bedford) is a champion!

Thank you, yes I'm thinking of this, (card-carrying tory of the Rory Stewart sect) - I'll look more deeply. Do you know of a site that lists comparative policies eg:
vat on private education: L=yes;C=no;LD=?

Epitome of irony

Enlightened & enlightening, we need an industrial strategy to help create & secure sustainable competitive advantage on which future growth & prosperity depends. Boris's vandalism cancelled it, Keir talks about it, but doesn't understand business enough. (pivotal role to MSFT!)

Not in my opinion, FT & Economist, essential reading for Chancellor. Mine have been a business expense throughout my career. I wouldn't expect her to go to the library to read them.
