Have to agree. Scottish exceptionalism isn't a thing. We tend to think we're pretty shit at stuff. Can't speak for NI and Wales, but pretty sure it's an English thing...

I like Richard on many topics, and dislike Starmer intensely, but not sure about this take. Seems to me the issue with Starmer is that policy and decision making is formed through a lens of achieving political benefit, rather than doing what's right.

The UK press certainly have a lot to answer for, but reporting on Starmer's blatant dog whistle to his imaginary voters is not one of them. Plus, "Finance industry proposes and develops new scheme" may not turn out to be the long term win you're expecting it to be. Time will tell.

The "experiment" is the career of a highly principled man: Peter Oborne. When he was on the right, he was all over the BBC, a favoured presenter and contributor. But *the moment* his focus shifted from right to left, in 2019, he was cut off, and has not appeared on a network BBC programme since.

I'm not in the US, so - other than through the creation of a new world order / dismantling of transatlantic alliance, and all the instability that entails - I'm not directly affected. I think you're right re. court rulings. Then you're in a whole new world...I don't envy your position 🙏

Genuine question. How do you go about that, given the state of elected chambers, supreme court, and current dismantling federal institutions?

5.Labour’s story, just like the US Democrats, doesn’t make narrative sense.
Rather than explain how 40 years of atomising, neoliberal plunder; the selling-off of & destruction of our public services; the undermining or our democracy, the hollowing out and selling off of our natural resources…

Supposed to be a good guy off the course, but just seems like an insufferable whiny toddler on it, which is a shame.
