The government needs to be more Phoebe Buffay and just tell us what they do and don't want to spend money on instead of telling us that we can't afford things to avoid the discussion like an overbearing parent. Then we could have a proper family argument weknow0.co.uk/?p=2370

We have hard problems to solve which require a serious government prepared to be bold, do big things and take the political risk of doing so, not one so focused and constrained by minutiae that it defeats itself weknow0.co.uk/?p=2328

Most intelligent discussion about what Elon Musk represents I have seen so far youtube.com/live/I0kvjNh...

If you object to Elon Musk conducting polls about whether to stage a coup in the UK, then it is probably worth expending some effort on trying to stop someone like him deciding whether you can heat your home, cook a meal or charge your phone weknow0.co.uk/?p=2319
