Absolutely amazing chart from @peterkellner.bsky.social's piece in @thenewworldmag.bsky.social today:
www.thenewworld.co.uk/peter-kellne...
A flow chart shows 17.4 million leave voters in 2016, vs 16.1m remain. In 2025, 5 million of those people have died, and 3 million new voters have come of age. The result (plus some people changing their mind) is 19.8 million voters now back rejoin, versus just 11.7 million wanting to stay out.

The attacks on Labour from BBC News are now so relentless, day after day, minute after minute, putting headline negativity on absolutely anything they say, or do.

Are they now the official opposition?

Lots of coverage today on these new government proposals to reform the alcohol licensing system.

I can see an inherent popular appeal to allowing pubs to stay open later, but I have a lot of thoughts about why these plans are an extremely bad idea..

As feared, the #DHS program is closing

This is a major threat to the #globalhealth statistical infrastructure moving forward

We must reorganise ourselves in the international research community to ensure this work can continue without political interference

NEW on Wonkhe: James Coe heads back to Darlington and worries the civic agenda is becoming a bit too distant, a bit too middle class, and a bit too removed from the lives of people in the communities it seeks to impact. https://buff.ly/402xYcg
