‘I want to grow our economy’…
We could rejoin the world largest single market.
‘I think we’ll cut benefits to the poorest and shackle small businesses with even more tax rises…’
Sigh.

‘Brexit isn’t in the past. It is present in every overstretched council budget, every cancelled infrastructure project, every school without enough teachers, every struggling business wondering how to cope with higher costs and lower demand.’
Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.
A new decade-long Brexit study explains it:
a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.
Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

I thought Glenn McGrath was overly optimist with his 5-0 prediction. But I still fancy we can turn it around and win 4-1. Keep the faith Glenn!

Casino Royale is the perfect movie.
Brilliant script. Fabulous score by David Arnold. Stunning theme by the late great Chris Cornell.
Absolutely fabulous acting.
Skewered on sympathisers.
A genuine 10/10 movie.
Not just a great Bond film.

I don’t remember the last time a slice of European sovereignty was traded away to a megalomaniac.

Saw a diabolical Coke last night.
Clearly made with AI.
It was awful.
But moreover. Why?
Why would you want to take the one thing that distinguishes humanity and propels us forward and hand it to a machine.
We are nothing without imagination.
It’s the driving force of progress.

Why don’t we use the existential crisis facing the BBC to implement full media reforms.
I mea, it’s laughable that people are holding the BBC to account on wholly unregulated social media and from the pages of papers owned by oligarchs.
No media ownership.
Full accountability.
An end to lobbying.

There is a threat to journalism when journalists try to deliver ‘balance.’

Representing views is the job of PR.
Journalists are there to speak the truth. To uncover facts.
To report what was said. What happened. Not to decipher what was meant or heard.

Well actually there’s no such thing as a Land Rover any more.
