As usual an excellent episode. Alex' analysis of the British journalists' questions was a bit sobering. As a teacher I'm very interested in the upcoming deepdive on Paul Marshall - his and other hedgefund managers creep on education gets so ignored, academy trusts are full of them! Gove ...

Honestly, if you ever want a real life experience of Kafkas "der Prozes" - try & deal with hmrc. Especially if it involves 2 different departments. Disconnected phone lines, a complaints address that Royal Mail doesn't recognise, staff apologising as their system constantly freezes... it's unreal

Fujitsu is targeting a lucrative contract renewal with HMRC worth over £200m. Already makes millions from govt contacts. Yet to pay any penalty for false conviction of postmasters in the Post Office scandal. No one prosecuted. Corporate gravy train rolls on.

Really excellent episode also putting the outraged noise in perspective. Also appreciated the slight glimpse of hope via David Lammys assessment

I wonder about a US boycott movement and how not much is getting reported. I've seen Mexico & Latin America giving coca cola the cold shoulder (not sure Pepsi is better), I've seen footage of Canadian supermarkets prioritising Canadian products then you start beef with 🇿🇦 ? Aka homeland of boycotts

Really great episode. Excellent take on what will happen with all these executive orders. Also very interesting about the quiet dropping of the 800 dollar import tax free - etsy sellers around the world have been watching the tariffs. Thirdly love you joining @bookshop-org.bsky.social

Me last night: Maybe this week’s column was a bit harsh on Labour. Perhaps they’ll start to see disability benefits in a more nuanced way and respect the people relying on them. Labour this morning:

I'm hearing Coca-Cola been cooperating with ICE, I'll give up my diet coke addiction probably good for me. Cosmetics I think I'm fine but a lot are sneaky, small brands bought up by multinationals. What other companies to focus on? And definitely lean into our own communities, shop local

Are we still waiting for our politicians to deal with this? Surely we should use our worldwide consumer power, learn from south african history. Let's draw up a boycott list with alternatives. I disengaged from amazon (audible>librofm, goodreads>storygraph, prime>direct) using ecosia as my browser

www.theguardian.com/society/2025... I find this quite touching and hopeful. I'm not a hoarder at all but I somehow can understand it. I so wish we would tackle more issues with as much empathy and pragmatism.

Just a brief note from education - in 20 years I have never ever received such regular communication that students have moved "into temporary accommodation" (= are homeless). I had bloody 4 this week, our school is in the suburbs, soon some other kids go on the school ski trip.

I really think communication is a big problem for the left at all levels and to fix this gloom that's what would need fixing first. I'm a big believer in local councils but in Haringey people are so disillusioned and cynical. Even I can't easily explain the point of the LTNs.

Uk people, I am trying to cut out amazon more and might go back to physical books. Apart from borrowing, where is a good place to buy online? Also is eBay OK I don't actually know who owns them? Thirdly I do love audiobooks, can they be bought on other platforms?
