Huge news in international media. Netflix has agreed a $83bn deal to buy Warner Bros. Beat off competition from Paramount and Comcast. Will make the company the dominant player in Hollywood. The rise and rise of the company’s power is astonishing.

You can vehemently object to what he said and still think the scrutiny to which this powerless student was subject was disproportionate and unfair. National political/media figures speculating about his place at Oxford being “DEI”. Pathetic, racist and outrageous.

I agree with this piece.
I'd also say Labour is in denial about who votes for it these days.
Hammering higher earning working age people in favour of pension benefits (who will never vote for them) will not end well for them

This was a Budget born of political and intellectual weakness, not strength
Labour has to realise that moving the pieces on the board is not e enough. Affluence is essential for social democracy. And there isn't a plan to create it.
