I'll do this bit properly one day
Not to mention a literal breakdown for the head of the civil service.
Actually what I'm seeing in this Tele poll is nostalgia for the days of nationalised utilities strong trade unions and more progressive tax. Good to have them on board.

I'm not convinced spending gazillions on producing tech that goes 'yeaaah, might do, then again might not' is really the future we'd been promised

Magnificent work that pic ed who decided the most salient fact about 1975 was not the Labour government, but Thatcher becoming LOTO.

Ultimately, politics is about making hard choices and leading.

Sure, easy for me to say, but you won’t get there by focusing only on just the one selective bit of public opinion you fear today.

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

He doesn't want his day in court, he wants to add the BBC's scalp to those of ABC, CBS and the rest. No real case, just capitulation.

Sorry, should also mention @davidsonofaaron.bsky.social in the Obs as one of the better ones.

Lewis and @arusbridger.bsky.social almost the only people talking sense on this. I've been very disappointed by number of people pointing the wrong way, even in Guardian and NS (tho less surprised with them).
