This is essentially the plot of the novel I just wrote. I have to use part of this as the epigraph at the front of the book.

Now this is a neat idea. With a bit of effort it could be as effective as the Hillsborough enquiry, or the Bloody Sunday one. Anyway in several decades we will understand what happened and who will face no consequences whatsoever.

Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.

Today we’ll get latest net immigration figures - They’ll show immigration for work is plummeting.
Why is this not part of the discussion on Rachel Reeves balancing her books & stalled growth?
For every 100,000 drop in net immigration, the OBR adds £7bn to the deficit. #r4today

I come from a tribal Labour family of committed activists and trades unionists.
After 16 months of this government I now do not know of a single person who is planning to vote Labour at the next election.
The collapse in vote share is becoming existential for Labour.

pretty much every long-time Labour volunteer I know is seriously considering whether to vote Green or Lib Dem.
It is amazingly horrifying in how little Labour leaders have zero, even negative faith in the values that their party's supposed to stand for. I have the deepest sympathies for the party ground floor workers and supporters who're disgusted by this grotesque betrayal of their values. It's despairing.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
