From the latest @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social survey: "The percentage of registered voters who say they hear about global warming in the media dropped 11 percentage points from 2024 (30%) to 2025 (19%), which is the lowest it has been since the question was first asked in 2015."

The rush to speculate that asylum seekers are responsible for every crime in the news is a sort of opportunistic informational terrorism. Until it’s disproved it stokes fear and hatred. When it is disproved there are no adverse consequences and they know that they only have to be lucky once.

Lots of talk of growth ahead of the Budget, as if it were a baroque puzzle. Our problem is basic. It's that we no longer support the things which facilitate growth: Europe, immigration, higher education, tax simplification, policy stability.
