Especially energy. The fiasco of levelling up. The P&O scandal that show the failure that the levelling up programme is. The chaos in schools from covid. The struggling NHS. A deeply stressed and divided nation. Attacks on the institutions of democracy eg

Because the real story is the utter failure of Joynson as PM. Bug picture stuff. The Ukraine refugee scandal. The visceral dislike and distrust of Johnson on the world stage. The prospect of widespread poverty even destitution as a result of Brexit, covid, inflation and

c/o @guardian this morning… a piece by Stephanie Hare @hare_brain – researcher and broadcaster focused on technology, politics and history. Design / ethics / AI / cross-disciplinary working, it’s all there. Worth a read.
