Worryingly it’s already starting to look like Arsenal and Man City are already distancing their most credible contenders Hull and Brighton

And this is a pretty good metaphor for why we’re never going to fix it

This from @londoncentric.media is a pretty good metaphor for the state of Britain

One researcher found cars drive closer to cyclists when they are wearing helmets, for example

Mine would be this - yes I decided to just climb straight up it from the lakeside path

Starmer’s strategy has shed Remain votes at a faster rate than Leave votes, so that’s the McSweeney strategy for you

This bit in particular. Yes there was a massive injection of funds into the system as a result of the tuition hike. But it mostly was misallocated into non-academic investments

It takes quite an imagination to think that the Greens are the party of hate in Britain, but they talk about taxing the rich so that’s what we’re going to be hearing for the next few years

Read this. Particularly like this framing

We all know this is a morally bankrupt approach for a supposedly ecologist party but you can see how it works: people go without fuel to make oil companies richer so tax them to subsidise consumption. Both things are true and outrageous, but the policy remedy is atrocious and politically effective

You set out to do regime change and before you know it the regime you didn’t change has you by the proverbials and all you can do is grit your teeth and pretend you’re winning

One way this can be observed in the data is by deduction of housing costs. Inequality in income growth after housing costs is a bit higher and the gap with previous periods closes for lower income groups

I’ve been thinking about how inequality in the UK has if anything declined in recent years and yet the perception seems to be that it’s going up. This IFS charts offers a clue as to why ifs.org.uk/living-stand...

London is just beyond a joke now. This couple took drinks from a pub and tried to drink them from the tables at Costa in the sunshine. It’s just a lawless hellscape at this point
