If you haven’t already - #HowTheyBrokeBritain is superb, particularly for analysis of how/why Andrew Neil was allowed to remain a serious player at the BBC *and* preside over a far right stable of ‘journalists’ at the Spectator, who used it as a portal (still going strong) for BBC appearances.

Weaves a compelling narrative about the nation's turmoil and those who caused the damage.

The "writing was on the (red) wall" for Starmer 2 months into government, the dog-end of my X journey. I bit the bullet and moved to Bluesky. Starmer needed to do a "Bluesky" or joins the ranks of #HowTheyBrokeBritain. It's now or never. @mrjamesob.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Absolutely loved @mrjamesob.bsky.social's #HowTheyBrokeBritain. Frighteningly well-researched and articulated. A must-read for anyone with even a vague interest in how Britain got into such a mess.
