Yeah, I've not quite found the right framing to write about this properly, yet, but I think a huge problem is media/politics becoming fully passive and reactive to what it sees as mass opinion rather than striving to argue with it.

Why is it, when it was Starmer who made the decision to appoint Mandelson, that everyone else is having to resign?

In France, legislation came into effect recently for all car parks that have over 80 spaces to be covered with solar panels. Estimated to add around 11GW of renewable energy capacity to the national grid. Why not do likewise in Scotland? Braehead, Silverburn, Glasgow Fort etc.

JD Vance: "The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement. And I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the US. So, we go back to the US having not come to an agreement ... they have chosen not to accept our terms"

a “ceasefire” that lasted 17 hours and killed 254 people in lebanon is not a ceasefire and referring to it as one is inaccurate

Starmer rattled out a statement about Kanye West but nothing yet on the President of the United States threatening to wipe out an entire civilisation. Glad he’s got his priorities straight.

Starmer can carry a briefcase. He can walk in a straight line without falling over. He can open doors - both push and pull. He can dodge any question. He can u-turn on something he advocated for yesterday. Those skills look simple, but they’re not.
