This chart (which applies even more to social media than it did to TV) lives in my head rent free.
Social media enveloping traditional media means everything and everyone is now competing in the entertainment market. Boring stuff like policy that affects millions of lives doesn’t stand a chance.

The fact that in both 2019 and 2024, the winning party did so with a set of manifesto promises that could not be kept and dissolved upon contact with actual office is something that as an industry we should be much more bothered by than we are.

The Tories made the same mistake with the Red Wall fixation on Lee Anderson types rather than "estate agent in Workington" or "Woman who shops at the new(ish) M&S Food in Leigh". But at least they had an excuse for not understanding those voters.
