Gentleman, scholar, acrobat. Frequently opinionated, occasionally right. Opinions are mine, obvs, but should be yours too.

Very solid list of beliefs, esp for the time.

Good piece and increasingly evident that this bit is true. There's a route to 40%+ for Labour if they adopt a strong pro-EU message at next election and unite most of the left. Burnham's not overly scary to Home County Lib Dems and many Greens will return to Labour fold.

Far from the main point, obvs, but just how much Botox has Pochin had pumped into her skull? Think there may have been some seepage.

Why do the ones who absolutely should have imposter syndrome never seem to have it? The chasm between belief and ability here is positively awe-inspiring.

I know there's an exemption from ASA rules for political advertising, but are there *any* rules? This is obviously a flat out lie; is that...fine?

Russia engage in endless shithousery just for the fuck of it, so yeah, if you think they're behind it, they probably are. This by @keirgiles.bsky.social is superb on the topic...

Agreed. Since WWII the UK has *never* managed to build more than 250,000 homes in a year, never mind Labour’s current target of >300,000 for England alone, without the government taking a very active hand in the market. The last time the UK built even 250.000 p.a.? Why, it was 1979 of course.

I'm going with yes... Only N Korea, China and the EU (all very different entities!) have larger lower chambers and the median in the list below is just 112. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

This is a remarkable chart; if you look *really* hard, you still can't see the plethora of privatisations of the 1980s and 1990s...
