Josh Sherer @pickle1805.bsky.social · 25/09/2026This is - as usual - excellent. But it stands out this fortnight as being particularly depressing. A government with no sense of urgency. As if, having ditched Starmer for Burnham, it’s done its part. Yet it hasn’t even started on Europe, ethno-nationalism, democracy or geopolitics. 010
