I don’t think the people wanting to scrap ECHR particularly care about Hillsborough. At best a very small overlap on that particular Venn diagram, probably a few Reform Ltd voters in Merseyside

….and this morning’s government tactic was to put the Home Sec on Radio 4 to talk about small f’kin boats with BBC Conservative Correspondent Nick Robinson.

They seem to have made a conscious choice to go and fight on their enemies’ battlefield - small f’kin boats. Tactically and strategically incompetent.

The Norwich to Peterborough train eventually crawls on to be the ‘fast train’ between Sheffield, Manchester and Liverpool. All significantly larger conurbations with a total population of around 5 million, with city centres only 40 miles apart. That’s Northern infrastructure.

If you buy public services through government you get not-for-profit services generally run by experienced motivated professionals. If you buy from the private sector you get services centred around profit, tending toward monopoly, delivered by the cheapest people they can hire.

Infrastructure outside of London is seen as more disposable. Infrastructure spend per head in the North vs is a national disgrace and a massive productivity opportunity cost

Part of a high conditionality, low support welfare state that forces people into the first job, rather than the best job. Strangles productivity and provides plenty of cheap min wage fodder for short sighted greedy employers. Traps people in a low reward, low output cycle

We have some really good civil servants but unfortunately their role is to carry out the policies of their political bosses. Civil service policy makers can think in 10-20 year time windows but are forced to work to time horizons measured sometimes in weeks or months and rarely in even a few years.

Good shout but beg to differ. Cosmic thing has 7 near-perfect songs, 2 good and one ‘meh’ out of 10. Abbey Road would have been stronger if shorter. 4 absolute masterpieces, 6 or 7 really strong songs and then a smattering of ‘meh’ in my view. Would have bettered Cosmic Thing if less self-indulgent

It’s always ‘blame the government’, taxes, minimum wage, business rates etc. never soaring rents, extractive corporate profits, punishing tie-ins from the massive corporate pubcos. Pubcos - some with thousands of pubs- function as property businesses, not hospitality.
