Just heard a great line from the writer Paul Waldman: Trumpism is based on the idea that "our worst selves are our truest selves". It is fundamentally a bleak, brutal view of human nature — we all secretly want to be sadistic and corrupt so let it all out. It's not true but it explains a lot.

It's like the incredibly tedious "Rachel from accounts" thing. Misogyny in politics remains a powerful force.
When I was at an Oxford college whose library for some reason has a copy of Reeves’ BA thesis, I was separately approached by two different people asking for help to get hold of it. The obsession with taking down her intellectual credentials is revealing - and absolutely mental.
This is the point where the anti-Reeves stories tip into madness. Criticise her performance all you like but what the hell is this?

The news that the NHS may now have to pay up to £3 billion more for drugs from the US is concerning.
There needs to be clarity from the Government about who exactly will pay for this.
The Government shouldn't prioritise economic growth over the health of the NHS.

Migration reductions are great because while they don't solve any actual problems they also don't solve any political problems.
“Put bluntly, net migration fell because 400,000 fewer foreigners arrived, and 200,000 more foreigners left the UK. This is precisely what Reform, the Mail, and the new, nastier Tory Party have claimed – again and again – they wanted to happen. And now that it has, they have ignored it entirely.”
