Last night's #BBCQT is best seen in the below short version. From the 📹 circulating, I deliberately cut Fiona Bruce's thin-skinned reply at the end. It's irrelevant & distracts from @zackpolanski.bsky.social 's excellent points. And this, too, is a lesson: Let's focus on people who offer solutions.

Funny how @zackpolanski.bsky.social suggesting a raft of policies to try and improve the lives of the vast majority is ‘fantasy economics’, but when Brexiteers were allowed to indulge their lunatic fantasies about leaving the EU it somehow became ‘The Will of the People’. 🦄🤔
