the irony is that where - in the past - this might have been the solution to move away from vape shops to what Andy and others might think of as more appropriate, captured councils will probably enable more vape shops and less of the latter.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Vape shops. Betting shops. Dodgy businesses.

If you look at your high street these days and think ‘who asked for this?’, you’re not alone.

I’m doing something about it. We’re giving local people and councils more control over what opens, and tougher powers to crack down on businesses that aren’t good for our communities.

For too long, Westminster has stood by while our high streets declined. That ends now.

[CGN @adap_op]

The most impactful effect of Ceuta is the precedent. More migration warfare as a tool - in specific crises designed to overwhelm. The realisation that you can in fact just solve this through tough decisive action. And most of all - the preference cascade that this is an issue.

That said their albums aren’t as standalone listenable (and they know this when they perform these at concerts). They should make an arrangement specifically for concert renditions.

The greats of modern film composers are probably the closest we have to the grand operatic composers of old (in contrast to whatever most postmodernists are).

clipboard communism

[Jonathan Smith @Fiat__Justitia]

In the United Kingdom, we’ve managed to achieve communism for 95% of the population.

If you have kids, unless you earn more than £80,000 gross, you have the same quality of life as those on benefits.

And the government managed it without a revolution.

Incredible really.

the next social network is a prediction market where your feed is ranked by accuracy not engagement. the person who is right 80% of the time gets seen while the person who is loud gets buried

No one seems to have considered that one solution to the closing of Hormuz to all but Iranian allied ships is: closing it for Iranian allied ships.

announcement is probably a ground invasion of some sort. will be sold as limited but needed to achieve the aim. will probably drag on even if successful.

Rubios speech was so good it was inevitable that it would be ignored by the press

[CGN @adap_op]

Ambition is cool, but the audacity to have ambition seems a prerequisite. One that seems to be a missing ingredient in Europe of late.

[CGN @adap_op]

Imagine that in practice the answer is somewhere between "make protestors terrorists by blanket decree" and "let people who break in and use sledgehammers on cops off scott free"

Let's be honest: removing the sign from the window means 'welcome to the thunderdome'. It meant that for the Grocer, and it means that for us now. It's not Carney's fault, but the consequence of actors coming to his conclusion is the return of violence to pursue self interest.

We should be wary of throwing this order out - obviously.
I say 'Obviously' for Western middle powers because this really is just the People's Front of Judea asking "what did Rome ever do for us?".

[CGN @adap_op]

The sign on the window isn't being removed. It's being washed by the rain. And did we really think it would always be sunny?

[CGN @adap_op]

PS I do think he's obviously correct in his observations.
