The newsletters are written in London. There is also a Brussels editorial office. So no, that’s not correct

Less the actual papers….more the producers and forward planners in radio and tv completely reliant on them for their talking points and ideas for tomorrow’s content. Plus how they are blown up to full screen on bbc and sky for hours of discussion based upon ‘what the papers say’

The biggest risk is never on the risk register. In this case the government pandering to manufacturered populism and prejudices refuses to take simple, costless, steps (taking students out of immigration figures) that would have preserved the sector.

on early elections..don't think ever seen this researched...but an argument for full 5 years for a first time gov, out of power for long time, is to give the "better the devil you know" vibe time to be a thing. Always been anecdotally struck by no. of non politico voters who say this at GEs.

Purely anecdotal so not generalisable but from my daughter’s secondary in an ex coal field community - none. Career advisors actively tried to talk the kids out of choosing A levels - of course the proof in the pudding would be a cabinet/shad cabinet member pushing vocational for their OWN kids

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

I see Labour MPs still announcing stuff on X, a platform specifically designed to make people hate them, 100% shaped to push them out of public life and which would ideally see many of them in prison. Funny old world.

Given the BBC have a largely sensible set of guidelines on the use of quant polling in news stories, including a ban on a poll being a story in itself, it's always so baffling they have next-to-no similar rules on what is ultimately rudimentary qual polling. It's an insane double-standard.
