Love Clarke's radiator shelf. Some politicians would have left the Great Men alone to ponder. Not him.
Was a true pleasure to go to Nottingham to interview Ken Clarke, truly the archetypal big political beast.

In an extended conversation, we talk about Reeves nightmare Budget, his long political journey and his fears for where politics might go next.

People watched the news on TV and listened to radio news bulletins. Now they can do other things. And that’s the problem in a nutshell.
This chart (which applies even more to social media than it did to TV) lives in my head rent free.

Social media enveloping traditional media means everything and everyone is now competing in the entertainment market. Boring stuff like policy that affects millions of lives doesn’t stand a chance.

The dress code said ‘Fabulous’ so I came as a messy Father Christmas, it seems.

The British are famously indifferent to class, so I know none of you will be interested to learn how we developed a quick and easy way to identify privilege.

And also you get to hear Daniel Craig reverting to Scouse.

Timely pod, having had a fun convo at home about why a guerilla fighter on Blake’s 7 sounded like she could have been reading Muffin the Mule.

In the 1940s, the BBC thought about getting a northerner to read the news, but decided listeners wouldn’t understand him.

Great to hear @alanmanning4.bsky.social on the Oh God, What Now? podcast talking about his new book: Why Immigration Policy is Hard: And How to Make it Better.

"We make more of a mess of it [immigration policy] than we need to, and that is connected to this binary, polarised debate."

So if I were going to do a More Jam Tomorrow on the secret service, which would be most interesting, MI5 or MI6?

Would be interested to know where Britons are emigrating to – how big is the Dubai exodus? But the ONS site is down right now and I don't know if it has that level of detail.

It’s a lovely, limpid read, but shies away from the abject failure of the Big Society vision.
