All sad, and true. But now wrapped in a political inertia bubble of Labour’s making. We’ll just get slowly poorer, and the bet is no-one will ever really work out why. And we’ll keep saying “growth” often enough to make it so. Onwards.

Walk on fare for two from London to York at 4pm on a Monday: £345*. "Demand pricing helps smooth overcrowding and gives us all a better railway!" Peak trains:

"You have every right to be angry about small boat crossings." Starmer's rabble-rousing on Twitter again, and getting a lot of attention. This tweet has been seen over a million times! And the genuinely angry people don't need or care for him giving them permission to be... x.com/keir_starmer...

PM Keir Starmer’s “unilateral” decision, following the UK/EU Summit last week, to change post-Brexit customs rules “makes a mockery” of the “huge amount of time & effort” by hauliers & their clients to comply with Brexit border regulations over the past 9 years

Listening to Brexiters is to see a group of people who haven't changed as the world/country around them has.That's Starmer's gamble. Then as now, they continue not to reckon with a simple truth: we still need the EU more than they need us. New from me goodallandgoodluck.substack.com/p/brexiters-...

Yep. And for those arguing g Johnson secured a majority in an election in which he stood for a certain vision of Brexit, Starmer secured a bigger one arguing for a ‘reset’

At today’s @bafta.org TV awards it would be great to hear some acknowledgment of the crisis from presenters and winners. The past year has seen thousands of people out of work and forced to leave the industry to survive. Amidst the glamour, please support those struggling.

Badenoch will have to define 'Brexit' first. Brexiters dumped its original meaning – British exit from EU membership – long ago, but have never put a new definition in its place.

It will always remain a mystery to me, why he hasn't done that yet. (I obv know.. etc. But still.)

🚨🚨 #brexit's disastrous impact on the #NHS led to 1485 extra deaths per year, according to a new academic study, particularly due to qualified EU nurses leaving and being replaced by more unskilled staff. #brexitshambles www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Labour likely to take a total drubbing in today’s election & it’s fully deserved. The lesson I fear they’ll fail to learn is: You cannot win on anti-migrant hatred. The right wing press will never tell their voters you have done enough. And meanwhile, of course, you lose all the rest of us #r4today
