Listening to the Rest Is Politics interview with Neil Kinnock and I'm stuck by how damning (albeit indirectly) he is of the Starmer government and that even at 83 his advice is so much more astute and relevant than anything McSweeney etc al have offered.

A weird/positive thing of cultural fragmentation is you can "discover" stuff now that I don't think you could 10 years ago. Until today I had never heard of, or seen an episode of Hacks. None of my friends have ever seen it or heard about it, none of my colleagues have ever talked about it at work.

Predictably, season 2 of The Night Manager absolutely stinks. Complete nonsense from the get go.
