Unless this “honesty” involves the recognition that immigrants are *not* the root cause of the UK’s problems *but* actually a part of the solution to them, this will be completely pointless. I cannot stress this enough. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Happy 115th birthday to a small mountain hut in the Bavarian Alps! Why? Because it was opened on this day in 1911, of course. And... um... 🧵

Metal sign screwed to the wall of a wooden hut reads: WANK-HAUS Erbaut v.d. Section, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, im Jahre 1911, des D.u.Ö. Alpenvereins Seehöhe 1780m

I think we’re on the cusp of mass attempts to automate teaching, and I also think it is going to be a massive wasteful failure in ways that will make the “learning loss” of the pandemic look like a speed bump next to a mountain.

I think we really ought to consider the dramatic rise in popularity of podcasts and video essays as conclusive disproof of the 'everyone hates lectures' idea in pedagogy. Turns out that, even when faced with many alternatives, many people just like to be told something at length.

For all the blanket coverage it's getting today you wouldn't know that fishing contributes a grand total of 0.03% to the UK's economy, or that it is absolutely dwarfed by many other sectors, like the live music industry, which have been badly hit by Brexit but are rarely even mentioned

Interesting how, in a different way, the idea that it’s morally good to be healthy because it reduces “strain” on the NHS is completely mainstream in the UK. Not sure what that means it’s just a thought.

The A level economist in the house complaining bitterly that the free trade module he's been taught - about how the US successfully uses trade to make friends/ bestride the global economy like a colossus etc - is going to look pretty stupid when rehashed for an exam in June 2025

worth reiterating that in literally any other context a 10% tariff on Japan alone would be getting wall to wall financial news coverage, would be considered the largest trade war escalation in modern American history and the dumbest economic policy move by a President in decades

When I first started studying economics, I was basically told that Politics barely matters for developed economies anymore. (Yes it was 2007) I think we’re learning (again!) that you can still piss the best economic position in the world down the drain quite easily.

No one wants to spend their Easter weekend stuck in traffic.

So we're lifting more than a thousand miles of roadworks over Easter.

And to save you money, we've frozen fuel duty and delivered record funding to fix potholes.

Largely unrelated to the content of the video, and not important in the grand scheme of things. But I do get quite upset that people have (recently?) forgotten what "single-handedly" means.
