With sky high ticket price it’s understandable. Family of four can easily spend £300 on tix alone - people are not willing to risk that on something new.

The best case scenario is pretty much King John - dies in time for a young son to succeed him before a rebel finally gets him.

The flaw surely is that Tory MPs don’t have a problem with Xitter?

The rest is Entertainment with Marina Hyde and Richard Osman - witty and nerdy on subjects like the Countdown Clock and book sales.
Rosebud with Gyles Brandreth - slow interview show on the subjects childhood and early adulthood. Showbiz focus

The Wager by David Grann. Just an astonishing shipwreck story.

Their slogan is ‘Review an Renew’? Which practically just invites sketch writers to change to the ‘Revue and Renew’

NY Mag has very good cultural coverage but it’s quite weird on the political side. For years, their main political draw was Andrew Sullivan’s blog.

I was doing shipping finance -“WTF do you mean there’s no letter of credit? L/C existed before the pyramids!” Like the most basic banking function just froze because no pne knew if their counterparty still exist in 2 weeks time

Deborah Mattison similarly talked about getting ‘clean sample’ for focus groups - ie normal people who don’t pay attention to politics. One fun corollary is that she can’t reuse her group too often b/c the participants pay too much attention to politics after doing the focus group.

The Times Radio focus group was infuriatingly annoying. ill defined groups that James Johnson just pulled out of thin air: ‘Red Wall voters who hate Starmer’, ‘Scottish voter who hate Starmer’, ‘Old people who hate Starmer’.

Was looking for this exact same chart. The 30% that wanted to close all nightclubs/casinos. Forever.

People always give NZ as an example of how PR will result in a Progressive government. The dirty secret is that both Labour govts relied on NZ First (ie Reforn) to get in.

NZ Labour and the Nationals did their splitting before PR/in anticipation of PR. 1984 Labour govt broke up into 4 parties.

The people complaining about UK refusing to do this are also decrying the state of the Uni funding.

they were so convinced the election was lost that they started doing Opposition stuff while in government. Rwanda, small boats, HS2. All just bad LOTO style stunts.

Of all the programs, ending the HKers program may work. 1. No longer in the news, 2. Can sell it as ‘they had 5 years to move’.
Trouble is selling it to the MPs rather than the public

Where is his editor? ‘Courted Controversy’ is when you shitpost about making tea in a microwave, not covering up war crime.

They did price it way too low but not for the reason they think. Blue effectively functions as an advertising account with promoted replies and no content moderation. It is a bargain for your ‘nudes in bio’ account.

The ecosystem encourages length. Meaningful preview length + substantial material behind paywall = very long/multiple ideas per piece.
