Not disagreeing with your main point, but that is also a lot about the sustained weakness of the attempts to help those regions recover.

A govt that is not Labour doesn’t mean Labour aren’t part of govt. Farage is of course eager to give that impression; the more people that repeat it the better for him.

Come on this is absolute nonsense. We are deeply affected by *any* military action Russia pursues in Europe (and also quite affected by Russian actions in the Middle
East, N Africa and the Sahel). The idea we get a free ride due to geography is silly.

Getting lost driving around Jo’burg was one of the most terrifying experiences I’ve ever had (I have worked in several dodgy countries so no shrinking violet).

It was exceptionally perilous and they all knew it. Plus they were often totally dependent on some geeky physics graduate in a backroom and they knew that, too.

I’m a climber so I have a sense of how hard physically this might be, what it feels like to be up high and I watch plenty of climbing videos… and even so, this is a terrifying watch.

At one point as a student I didn’t go home for 18 months, just did my own thing. Which included hitchhiking to France for work and spending a month climbing in America.

It’s one of those touch typing exercises. They are taking seriously the idea that the new working class is in the service industries!

Labour could burn a lot of political capital for a long time and come up with very little, which is more concerning. But… if the game is now dividing a static pie between competing interest groups, then they are not doing so well at that either.

I think difficult causality is the major one for me. A lot of the others seem to be variants* of “will upset people who have been cosseted in British politics for a long time” which many natural Labour supporters will feel little sympathy with.
