Rachel Reeves today told MPs that she had launched an inquiry into the number of leaks in the run-up to her Budget
The Chancellor said she was "frustrated" by the "unacceptable" number of leaks to the media
"That is why I'm doing something about it, because we cannot allow this to happen again"

Exactly my experience. "I do that but I'm not ADHD" over & over. Then I saw a 12-panel cartoon of typical traits & I had 11 of them so decided to pursue a diagnosis. After decades of SSRIs not really working the consultant said "You're depressed because your life's out of control because of ADHD."

Imagine, realising for the first time that you can just buy a thing and use it forever, no monthly subscription, no vendor-bricking, who on earth in this day and age would want such a thing? 🤷♀️😱

Ah yes, all the most dystopian predictions in sci-fi, let’s do them
I would say this because I edited it but @mshannahmurphy.bsky.social's piece on tech bros founding their own for-profit cities really is unmissable reading www.ft.com/content/b127...
Tech elites are starting their own for-profit cities
They want to escape from regulation and ‘failing’ democracy — but are they more opportunistic than libertarian?

worth noting the MMR scare was specifically because Andrew Wakefield wanted to sell a different vaccine - but went with it when everyone started going antivaxx completely.
one of many parallels between anti-vaxxers & those who oppose gender-affirming care: they start by pretending they have a very specific concern (MMR vaccine, puberty blockers, etc), but once given any sway or say on the matter, they quickly strive to eliminate all of it
Kennedy's zombie ACIP panel just voted to restrict hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. Experts say it will harm children for no reason. www.ms.now/news/rfk-cdc...
ACIP member Dr. Cody Meissner:
"'Do no harm' is a moral imperative. We are doing harm by changing this wording. And I vote no."

The essence of Blue Labour thought is that somewhere in Downing Street there is a button marked “reindustrialise” that Tony Blair could have pressed, but instead he opted for the “more Woke Studies” button.
My brother in Christ, reindustrialization is based on international capital flows, not dumbass ideas to move down the value chain by turning colleges into vocational schools. You do realize that modern industry is almost always *high* skilled automation?
Read your Michael Pettis, you utter clown.

No reindustrialising? Our academic institutions are a part of the problem, overproducing elites and funnelling them into bullshit unproductive jobs. Half the universities need to close or become vocational colleges. You didn't even mention productivity.
Brexit is in the past. That ship has sailed.
