Another bump for this, I'm in it if that helps (though you should be reading Ros' work anyway)
I wrote about why the left usually winces when it hears the word pronatalism.

But a world without aunts or uncles, empty schools and a crazy worker:retiree ratio isn’t much to look forward to.

@meadwaj.bsky.social I'm writing a piece about the Greens and am keen to talk to you about Verdant – could you DM me, or [email protected]? Many thanks!

Just recorded an @ohgodwhatnow.bsky.social with @gsoh31.bsky.social and @hannahfearn.bsky.social about universities – so much to talk about & explain which is going completely under the Westminster radar.

Congratulations to David Baddiel for carrying off the first episode of Cat Man. The moment when King Louis bit him was a highlight.

Since we broke the link between sex and reproduction and offered men and women the same opportunities, humans have an urgent question to answer. What if, as life gets better, our urge to reproduce is fading away?

Ah, a world in which you stealth-cut child benefit and heavily subsidise pet ownership. The British people demand it
An NHS, but for pets. The National Pet Service.
Surely the most popular policy imaginable?

Really good read on the lack of any clear explanation of what rail nationalisation is for. IMO it's thought about a cheaper, more comprehensive and reliable railway and that requires both ongoing revenue support, major investment and changes in working practices open.substack.com/pub/catching...
We’re getting worried about Great British Railways
Nationalisation can work, but the Government isn’t doing it right

Burnham has been blocked from standing as an MP, sparking a fresh row within Starmer’s Labour Party. What will the fall out look like? Will the PM emerge stronger or weaker? @gavinesler.bsky.social & @rostaylor.bsky.social discuss this and other news to look out for ➡️ linktr.ee/bunker_pod

Would be pretty odd, if you were PM, to let someone run for a Commons seat when they've been clear that they want to replace you.

I just can't imagine any PM of my lifetime doing that.

Elderly peers are so very polite when they decline to be interviewed. For a moment it feels like 1955.

I am so tired of being strung along by that senile old man.

(Yes, I recorded a podcast yesterday afternoon)

So many fascinating compelling things we could be talking about, and we have to talk about his mindless ejaculations.
