Toxic could not have found a better home for adaptation than with Paris. It's beyond weird to know that one of the book's subjects has read it - and beyond gratifying to know that she got it like this. I am absolutely thrilled.

This is another great episode on a geopolitical flashpoint I knew nothing about. This is the best political economy/ intellectual history/ climate geopolitics podcast out there.
I could give you 1,000 tries to guess how Kirstie Alley’s parents were dressed when they died in a car accident and you wouldn’t get it right
Every single one of the remaining departments would have to be cut by as much as Osborne-era austerity again to make the numbers work. Justice, Home, Local Government, Housing, Transport. Never has a government gone into an election with such an implausible fiscal plan.

Meanwhile back in the real world... Take a moment to read @jacobfuredi's eye-opening dispatch from Bloomfield in Blackpool for @unherd unherd.com/2024/04/how-vi…
Happy St. George's Day! 🏴 St. George was born in Lincolnshire. He loved a pie and a pint after a long day of dragon-slaying, and always got his round in. He voted Leave at the referendum, and his favourite composer was Elgar. A great English hero 🏴🏴🏴
We actually do not all have the same fiscal constraints
The UK should and will probably have to increase defence spending. But the idea that UK fiscal constraints are comparable with the entirely self-imposed German ones is nonsense.
Karl Polanyi, one of the twentieth century’s most insightful and influential socialist thinkers, passed away exactly 60 years ago. His masterpiece, The Great Transformation, remains the most powerful critique yet produced of market liberalism — the belief that societies can and…
St George, depicted after slaying the waiting list.
If you want an antidote to Lloyd Evans' belittling piece on a woman in the sex trade, read this fantastic corrective by @jacobfuredi in UnHerd today, about the abandonment of Blackpool and its residents. unherd.com/2024/04/how-vi…
The piece is so bleak I feel a little bit shattered. I urge everyone to read it.
A desperately bleak, keenly perceptive dispatch by @jacobfuredi from ‘the party town thrown into the abyss’ for @unherd unherd.com/2024/04/how-vi…
This is a brilliant essay on today's England by the very talented @jacobfuredi. Happy St George's Day 😞 unherd.com/2024/04/how-vi…

Some say offering cheap - or free - childcare is the key to increasing the birthrate. But this chart shows why that is very unlikely to be true. People don’t have children to put them in institutional care; they have children for a lifelong relationship that begins at birth. 1/5
The British Social Attitudes Survey finds a clear consensus that "both the mother and father work full time" is the *worst* way to organise things in a family with young children. And parents regularly say in surveys that they want to spend more, not less, time with their kids.

There's a European upper middle-class cope which basically says "yes, America might look richer, but there's no work-life balance, culture, or accessible healthcare." What I've learnt moving here is that, no, for genuinely comparable professionals, America is just much richer.
What is decadence? I don’t know. I can’t define it in abstract terms - yet. But I think I can recognise it when I see it. And I am looking at it now. (With apologies to Kenneth Clark).
