A good plan. I am currently reading the Man Without Qualities, which is full of people making the same complaint about 1913 Vienna at great length.

@daisychristo @jburnmurdoch I too found the profound lack of interest in London about what was being done in Scotland or Wales striking. Particularly amongst those who were advocating for a policy that was actually being pursued in those countries. Didn’t just happen in Education either.

⁦@LucyHunterB⁩ @samtaylorish They could have asked Perplexity! Looks quite interesting. You’d need to check the references of course, but not a bad return for passing the time in a phone queue. https://t.co/1Ty0qyYHJP

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.

The photo of Rubio sitting opposite Lavrov in Riyadh will forever be fixed in the historical album of infamous capitulations.

Two important charts for understanding why US lags Europe in longevity.

1/ It's behavior, not healthcare: US infant mortality is higher in the months after a baby goes home from the hospital. Suggesting it's at-home behavior, not bad healthcare that is responsible.

@HughRaven We did that one the other way, via Cordoba I think, and needed a train change. Worked fine. Really gives you a sense of how vast the central Spanish plateau is.

@PeatWorrier Very fond of the @FelicityCloake recipe. Lots of butter and curry powder. Chives too.

Blog: in which I note how similar the Government's growth strategy is to its predecessors' - and ask why it may still be rational to believe growth could improve

Will 'stopping some services' really help long-run sustainability? Demand will surely just re-emerge elsewhere in the system, potentially adding to - not reducing - costs?

This is the only thing you need to understand about inheritance tax on farmland https://t.co/0PmQtchH6y

[Giles Wilkes @Gilesyb]

What does "putting place at the heart of our industrial strategy" *literally* mean?

Probably nothing. The sort of phrase one is forced to read for decades in my line of work...

Maybe "we will acknowledge the ultimate physical reality of things at every step"

"Remote working did not add the output of 6m extra people. Nor did the internet nor even did MS Excel. In general, productivity improvements in office jobs get massively diverted into workplace leisure....like real leisure but worse"

Lots of post-mortems today & questioning of what Biden/Harris did wrong, but this is the key chart for me, from the brilliant @jburnmurdoch. It's a uniquely terrible year for incumbents everywhere. https://t.co/r5SRUpYn2x

Lots of over-the-top coverage right now about the £1m cap on inheritance tax agricultural property relief (APR).
