Budget discussion on the R4 Today. Of course it was a discussion between journalists about the journalistic noise about the budget, not the budget. Gillian Tett, Rachel Sylvester, Emma Barnett all demonstrating why so much political journalism is a disconnected self-referential ecosystem.

On Truss & Kwarteng in ‘22. Allister Heath, Telegraph: “the best budget I have ever heard a British chancellor deliver". Alex Brummer, Mail: “a genuine Tory package elbowing to one side the Treasury's fiscal conservatism".

Lol. This is from the Speccy, obviously. The home of revisionist, reactionary “historians”. It is possible that they actually believe that their perspective on Empire is a balanced, reasonable and objective one. Quite bizarre.

I would like to share something.
A year ago, Trump won and I was furious and scared so I sent a text to a few of local women I knew and asked them to join me at a meeting and invite like-minded women they knew. A few showed up, then a few more. We became a group called The Salon and we meet monthly
