As I noted in my Q+A yesterday the proportion of economically inactive working age adults in the UK is about average for developed countries and has been around the same level for decades.

The fundamental problem: you can't have an anti globalisation/migration, pro tech/innovation/growth policy. You can have investment in UK citizens/industrial policy alongside those approaches but UK can't do anti-globalisation growth.
We've proven this.
And "contribution" isn't some magic wand.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

I can't imagine a job i'd like to do less. Managing an organisation held to a ludicrous standard by roaring idiots on a daily basis, while the main mediums it uses are all in decline and it's starved of resources.

Abled folk imagine being disabled and unable to work like a day of annual leave, where they can do whatever they want.
In reality, it’s like a sick day, where you are unable to do anything you want, because your body is unable to function.
And not just one day, but every day.

Seeing so many posts about who “Starmer and Nandy” will appoint as director general. Easy mistake but the government does not appoint the director general! The BBC board, whose members are appointed for rolling terms by the culture secretary, appoints the director general.

I've gushed before about @cubanmissiledh.bsky.social and co's Star Wars series Rebuild The Galaxy and having just finished the second series I can safely say it's the most fun Star Wars thing in YEARS. Easily among the best TV the franchise has ever produced.
Check it out immediately.

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:
One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

Has there ever been an adaptation of Frankenstein by a woman?
It has always struck me as an intensely gynaecological* story, but I’ve never seen an adaptation that really played into that.
*Victor has post partum depression and is unable to bond with his offspring, etc etc.

Drives me mad that people talk about Danish immigration policy as a *political* success without bothering to look at the polls.
Aside from the crucial voting system difference, the Social Democrats over this period have haemorrhaged votes to progressive parties and are currently on course for their worst result in 110yrs, while the Green Left are set for their best ever.
The Danish People's Party are currently gaining.

what are the odds that the people in Downing Street briefing this out would also break out in hives at the mere mention of proportional representation?

They're harder to get than most people believe.
