Where is the UK economy now? youtu.be/Y3hPMyU1o4k?... The UK economy need not be stuck in a rut. It’s Rachel Reeves’ choice that it is. If only she demanded lower interest rates from the Bank of England and let the government spend to transform public services, we could be in a great place.

I'm planning on 2 big read/rereads: Dante's Divine Comedy and Proust's In Search of Lost Time.
The Proust is the reread - I think it is the greatest novel(s) of them all. The Dante: I've only penetrated the Inferno in little raids. Which translation of the whole thing do people recommend?

Poulenc's orchestral music - fine in small doses. The relentless perkiness gets a bit wearing after a while. #ClassicalMusic

Never forget how the Daily Fail have spent years fueling the far-right.
This has never been about news. It's about spreading race hate and inciting violence.

The far right may well come to power in every European and N American country over the next 5-6 years. What a thought.
