Every week, we buckle down in our spare time and do the research, while so many whose day job it is to inform don't bother. The result is always a conversation that expands a topic beyond boring tropes. I remain of the view that, in the current landscape, aiming for nuance is an act of revolution.

He looks genuinely relaxed, sincere and normal. Incredible feat in a run of Starmer, Sunak, Truss, Johnson, May and even I would argue Cameron - who always (in my opinion) failed on the sincerity bit.
