Really great interview revising the Liz Truss legacy by @willdunn.bsky.social:

www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

Liz Truss is still at war with the Deep State

Truss says she was the victim of “deliberate sabotage”. What if she’s right?

As the government celebrates data centre investment, it's worth looking at what new data centres actually do to a place - my column:

“My goodness, where does JK Rowling get the time to obsess about me? I hate to tell her that it’s just not reciprocated.”

My interview with Nicola Sturgeon:

Nicola Sturgeon: “Where does JK Rowling get the time to obsess about me?”

On the New Statesman Podcast, the former Scottish First Minister talks flag-flying nationalism, the rise of Reform and the Harry Potter author’s “gratuitous cruelty to trans people”.
