It feels to me that the BBC and the press love the fantasy announcements and soap opera but get bored setting out the reality

Given how Kemi’s idea of scrapping stamp duty without saying how it would be paid for was declared a triumph across the board, it’s not unhelpful to point out what the basics of government finance are.

Well maybe it’s something to do with everyone saying Reform are setting the agenda, because most journalists just repeat what is said in set pieces. No one else is going to put the governments position forward

On the 60% rate issue, I think just assuming no impact on earnings isn’t enough. Anecdotal evidence is that a lot of people with go part time or put more in their pensions to avoid this rate. Could it be that it’s a brake on productivity?

I don’t agree with knee jerk anti- londonism. But I work in infrastructure project appraisal and every single decision maker is London based. The entire process is less scientific than it tries to appear. It’s only human for there to be some unconscious bias.

On this one I am not sure if I agree. The case for compensation seems weak - and it just adds to the compensation and ambulance chasing culture. And we all pay for it one way or another.

Couldn’t agree more. Creates a kind of ‘not for the likes of us’ aura. Not just a choice. Felt like that when I did UCCA in 1984 - it felt like it was a waste of time to apply.

If you visit the museum of the srebrenica massacre in Sarajevo, it’s almost impossible to leave without breaking down. It feels like a shame for everyone in the West. But some people want to blame others

Also i heard @robfordmancs.bsky.social discuss it on R4 and wondered if he thought this constituency was a place where Reform ought to beat its national poll level? Are there many places in Scotland where they will do better?
