<< It's a dangerous fallacy though if it then gets applied to climate change.>>

Indeed.

This is where I come back to Starmer’s quote early doors that he wasn’t ideological, but rather had values. Yeah that’s like having a list of places to visit without a map. What is your understanding of how these things connect or potentially might conflict?

I think that is a great insight. Leadership is either about having a map and talking about it or drawing the map yourself.

These days, the old maps don't work - unless you just want to blame 'others' like Farage does. So, a leader needs to draw the map for us. A focus group cannot.

True. But there is a widespread perception is that it was non-event because the 'behind the scenes' work was not publicised. It's value to the press was as a scare story. The work that went into the solutions was 'boring'.

Now you have tech bros implying that there will be a similar 'fix'.

famously, also, Mary and Joseph travelled to Bethlehem just for a romantic minibreak, not because they had to pay any taxes or anything

That's not a million miles from the underlying theory behind the BBC's fall of the Roman civilisation. Unaddressed rather than unchecked.
