I think this article officially marks Ultra-Processed Foods™️ graduation into full-blown pseudoscience.

Not sure if my fave is

“A red flag for UPF is if it’s made by a multinational company”

or

“Plain salted crisps are not UPFs but flavoured ones are”

Absolutely incredible that every council in the UK is basically fucked beyond words and nobody is thinking its because councils are generally comprised of the dumbest people you've ever met in charge of a billion pounds with zero oversight

Ahead of the three by-election results tonight, thinking of Ipswich in 2001 and a time when we did these things properly

New post by me:

The UK is much poorer than it ought to be – the US is nearly 40% more productive than we are.

To get richer, we need to start thinking like a developing country and focus on getting the basics, like housing and energy, right.

John Sopel and Emily Maitlis, fresh from attending George Osborne's wedding last weekend, are now co-hosting Tony Blair's policy summit today.

Must be so liberating for them to have left the establishment BBC and be free to rattle the cage with fresh ideas!

Britons currently have the worst access to healthcare *in Europe*.

The NHS (and the government) need journalistic scrutiny, not quasi-religious indulgence.

By 2028 the post covid increase in spending on working age disability benefits (£11B) will be roughly the cost of free university (£8B in 2017)

We are spending a transformative amount of money on a completely new, barely understood new problem

Tonight we wrote honestly and openly to all Labour Councillors and MPs in the North East Combined Authority Area providing an explanation and context on why the highest standards are a responsibility in the Labour Party today. Read ⬇️

Does anything demonstrate BBC’s complete lack of editorial confidence when it comes to an under 40 audience as seeing Kirsty Wark ask Mizzy about….Andrew Tate. What on Earth??

Median age is 40 in U.K. BBC news is fast becoming irrelevant for anyone younger than that.

Boos and dissent from the crowd. Players look as you'd expect them to look. An abomination of a season, an abomination of a performance. Get in the sea. #lufc

[Gareth Dennis @GarethDennis]

This quote from @JamesSmithRF is both brutal and spot on... The UK is a failure because of @HMTreasury. The solution? We need to #AbolishTheTreasury.

[Giles Wilkes @Gilesyb]

It is *slightly* embarassing that 10 year gilts are back at levels last seen when Kwarteng was bellowing "And I have ANOTHER measure, Mr Speaker" ... and the pattern isn't quite the same in the US, Germany, or France ...

[Ed Jackson @ed1231]

@greateranglia Thanks for the swift response! Slightly strange timetabling but such is life.

[Ed Jackson @ed1231]

@greateranglia good afternoon. Is it right that there are no trains running between Norwich and Sheringham tomorrow (Friday 19) after the 16:45 until 20:00?! I thought there was usually a train leaving Norwich around 18:50-19:00?

[Phil Hay @PhilHay_]

I mean, just, fucking hell

[Giles Wilkes @Gilesyb]

It's over six years since I mentioned to some other clearly powerless advisers in No10 that we really ought to have a strategy to attract gigafactories to the UK. This is now ridiculous...1/- https://t.co/v3xus5V65k via @FT

[Simon French @Frencheconomics]

The U.K. state’s seemingly never ending obsession with funnelling ever more capital into resi real estate is extraordinary. U.K. resi worth 3x UK equities. US 1x. And we wonder why we have sluggish productivity… https://t.co/0C1d1E3aSN

[Culture Force @cultureforce1]

Ahh yes, Bournemouth the great underdogs 🤣

Breaches of financial fair play, they literally “overspent” in their 2015 promotion season but the EFL turned a blind eye and let them hide by how much. Huge American investment, dodgy loans and £40m in parachute payments last season

[Paul Clifton @PaulClifton_]

Here’s what Nuneham viaduct looks like from track level. Trains were running here on Monday morning, so it has clearly got a lot worse since then. This the Oxford-Didcot line, a national rail artery
