Via Martin Wolf, here is what happens when populists take control. on.ft.com/47fVDsb
Maybe the UK was pitched exactly onto this curve. We got Brexit and Johnson, and it dropped our GDP by 4% relative to not doing that.
Elect another populist government in 2029, and maybe we'll get the next 6%

This is just so on the money and extends very strongly into local authorities too
If you work in Westminster long enough, you realise that lots of people aren’t really thinking about policy, they just make it by meme.
There are loads of ideas (good and bad) that are just trotted out because they sound good in a meeting.

Waiting for the election results? You've got time to read my new article 'Medical Trials are not the Whole Truth' (it's a bit of a dig at EBM zealots for whom the RCT is a hammer and every problem is a nail).

Medical trials are not the whole truth | Trisha Greenhalgh
Randomised controlled trials are vital in medicine but not flawless. We need a balanced approach for evaluating healthcare beyond RCTs alone.
