It's like some weird portal from Twitter has broken into UK Real World for a few days, with a public peering into a horrific alternative (we are basically in Stranger Things 4)

thanks for the prompt on this, I've been worrying for a year or so - and for the first time ever I've just logged into my work pension provider and set it to manual mode and reduced exposure to US hugely, as I am only a couple of years from wanting to retire.....

really good point. And honestly, if it means it focuses his mind on keeping Israel and Hamas to the 'deal' for next 12m, plus getting somewhere on a ceasefire in Ukraine by pressuring Putin more - he kind of would deserve serious consideration??

My local ward: only door knocking was Labour (3 times), arguing the case that the domination of council by LD wasn't healthy - seems to have had some minor effect. This is a v wealthy, socially liberal ward in the main - so Cons losing 60% of their vote is....worrying.... for them I should think!

Fellow (corporate) survey guy here: I've been on a mission to cull our surveys to a third of previous volume, to do our bit to help response rates. It kind of needs everyone to act in unison to work tho!

I really really struggle with Ezra Klein. He'll do 5 sensible podcasts saying "what is going on is not normal" and then come out with this sort of nonsense, like it's some sort of 'gullible genius' act.

Freely tv gives you that - need a new tv set, but basically turns all the iPlayer, ITVX etc into a linear programme guide

W123’s (you’ve shown the sedan and wagon versions, there is also a coupe that’s pretty cool) are amazingly well engineered and built. Parts aren’t too much of a problem, good owners clubs and specialists around to look after them. As per any classic buy the best you can as resto costs are high

I think that’s their bet, and in Chelsea’s case treat much of it as pre-season camp. Suspect that the 100m might not look so good when a couple of teams hit the wall around Christmas….

I presume that our French imports are also nearly all nuclear generated? (Also can reform voters somehow specify they don’t want to use the French kw?)
