@undertheraedar @jenniviitanen Its also connectivity. British coastal towns are end-of-line places; less attractive to businesses as the population who can reach them in a given time is lower. Less businesses = brain drain.
Most of Spain's big cities are on the coast and linked by coastal rail and motorway.

@inari_ta @FinancialTimes @niko_tinius @ejhollowood It's like a long hike where you've triumphantly climbed several peaks, descended through beautiful scenery, then have to walk along a tarmac road for 15km with sore feet to reach your destination.

@inari_ta @FinancialTimes @niko_tinius @ejhollowood This is a really beautiful piece of storytelling until the end of the scrolling section of "The national picture".
At the point where the fun stuff stops I have to put more effort into continuing to read than if the whole article had been plain text.

@Peradventur3 @paulwaugh @RishiSunak Pre-brexit you would have been spot on.
Today, UK needs to do all the stuff we’re used resourcing from overseas with our current population.
That’s a lot of Brits to fill low-skilled jobs.
At the same time, a lot of high-skilled employment from overseas that no longer exists.

@hughpearman Not Post-modern because it’s not using pastiche. Looks Cubist to me.

@ahawksbee End-of-the-line places that have seen historical population growth due to industries that have since declined top the IMD rankings. Blackpool, Grimsby, Barrow, Jaywick. All need either new local industry, or fast and cheap new connections to work hubs.

@ahawksbee Excellently articulated in words but poorly illustrated. The map basically shows population density. More people = more transport.

@BWallArthur It’s a metasyntactic combination, used to explain concepts in computer science where 2 variables might be Foo and Bar, and the third Baz.

@MattWackett How can the property industry continue to be so private when its impact is so public? Blokes in suits negotiating the future of local places from abroad? Local people work hard to shape local places, and their efforts are trampled over by hangover handshakes in Cannes.

@slowbikeiain 100%. If only the "peer-reviewed data" were shared by @sweetstench, a comparative chart of urination frequency vs. life expectancy would be fascinating to see, and a doddle to produce.
