Look, Labour are in this position because of consistent briefing from a "senior source" against their own policies, this is exactly what happened with the green investment pledge, too. People are justified in being skeptical of Labour's prevaricating.

Is Economics Education Fit for the 21st Century? More than 15 yrs after the 2007/8 GFC, @RethinkEcon_EW - the student movement that swept the UK (and many parts of the world) calling for a drastic overhaul of the econ curriculum - reports its findings. rethinkeconomics.org/2024/05/01/is-…

There was - rightly - a hue and cry over who could be allowed to own the Telegraph. I can’t remember a precedent for the true ownership of a paper being kept secret. That’s what’s happened with the Jewish Chronicle prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/65…
“Both the old, deluded worship of London and its new tactical vilification are displacement activities for the Westminster classes”: @chakrabortty on the fantasy and reality of London: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

'In Feb 2016, I asked Ken Clarke whether Boris Johnson would go full-metal Brexit. “Oh, they’re all pro-European,” Clarke said reassuringly. “He just wants to make his entry into the fray more theatrical.”' @zoesqwilliams acute on politicians as a tribe theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…
Great article by @chakrabortty theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
This is a deeply misleading front page. Buried right at the bottom of the story is a statement from Royal Parks pointing out that it was they, not the police, who covered up the memorial and that they routinely do so during large events

There is so much more I could have said .. Uzbekistan is where Ulugh Beg’s observatory was mapping stars in the 15th century, and the native region of the man from whom we get the word ‘algorithm’. But mainly this is about travels with my mother!

בגדה המערבית חמאס לא שולט. שם אי אפשר להגיד שההרג של פלסטינים, שהמעצרים ההמוניים, שהפגיעה בילדים ובקטינים היא בגללם. בגדה המערבית יש פשוט כיבוש, שליטה צבאית אלימה על מיליוני בני אדם שנשלטים על ידי הצבא שלנו אבל שאינם אזרחי המדינה שלנו. חושבים שזה רע רק להם? זה יתפוצץ לכולנו בפנים

The best, or the only, way to define the current intellectual climate is to say that whatever people used to claim to be right, now they do the opposite and they claim only this is right.

Beautiful piece from @MishalHusain about a place i've always wanted to visit theguardian.com/travel/2024/ap…
@chakrabortty flat plan makes perfect sense from a technical viewpoint. The expression in our part of the world was dummy, in recognition of the reality it would be changed as the lovely commercial side of the business sold last-minute ads. Lovely piece by you.
Fascinating new @TheIFS paper finds that the closure of 70% of police stations in London was not cost effective and led to higher crime levels, with particularly negative impacts on the poor ifs.org.uk/sites/default/…
If you want a fairly clear picture of what needs to happen for the GB rail industry, this @Railnatter covered it pretty well: youtube.com/watch?v=OBx3iT…
What's being proposed is essentially indistinguishable from what the current government are already doing by default, except slower.
@chakrabortty I was struck by this in the pamphlet of mayoral candidates. *Four* populist r/w candidates (charitably not counting Conservative Party) telling voters that London is "a sick city," "fast becoming a Third World cesspit... a crime-ridden disaster zone". They should get out more!
