Could ask: why are we becoming so intolerant? Sure, there’s more ‘noise’ around but if we can read WhatsApp messages while scrolling the web, watching TV or listening to music…

2) and 3) are intimately linked, in that the BBC (the organisation that really matters in the modern environment) treats 'claims by rival parties' as the operating frame for how it covers everything. The failure from Labour and the Conservatives to say 'this stuff is bad' is really, really bad.

Chelsea the first proper test. They can and will score; we have to out-score them 🤷‍♂️

West Ham and Millwall will battle it out for the promotion places; while their fans will just.. battle it out.

Camus was a goalkeeper of course: "What I know most surely about morality and the obligations of men, I owe to football".

I think she’s mistaking group-think bubble with common decency.

Brilliant line: "If it takes a decade for an account involving being parented by wolves to be debunked, well, that’s life. But if a Black man can trick you without immediate exposure, then racial tolerance has been taken too far." @ft.com.web.brid.gy @stephenkb.bsky.social

Management involves both: delegate the stuff for which a solution is needed and where problems can be overcome locally; escalate problems which have been insoluble to seek a clear decision going forward. Decision-making is key in both. Not sure Starmer was good at either.

It's also no accident that the NF began life in Welling and Bexleyheath, on the south side of the estuary. Communities bombed or moved out of the docks in and after WW2 moved south and north of the river.

A lot of the people moving out of the East End were not bigoted or intolerant, but there would have been a strong element of protecting community - borne out of decades of labour exploitation, poor housing etc. - which has since become a rich breeding ground for anti-migrant sentiment.

For South Park read the old RCP mob. Liddle was something different. He's a version of your old uncle who was always racist and sexist, who just happened to read the Guardian for a few years in his 30s and managed to convince everyone he was a decent guy.

That’s what is so fascinating about Kemi Badenoch. Reality has never bothered her.

So, Burnham's first commitment is to ending rough-sleeping. And there was me hoping he might abolish VAR. He's gone for the easy stuff first.

Targeted at old Labour, potentially pro-Reform, voters. Let’s hope he shifts his focus and his actions to a broader coalition of young people fast!

Not suggesting anything kinky but could you take a government minister with you next time? It would be great if they did even a little bit of thinking about the future of higher education 🤔
