We badly need a grown up conversation about the appropriate role of the state in our lives, and its limits. bbc.com/news/articles/…
I’m not mad. I’m not mad at all. I just think I have had several popular policy threads but that’s fine.

If Gavin Williamson called me into a meeting and put a tarantula on the desk I’d squash that critter immediately
Deranged randomly generated twee is not an edifying aesthetic
“Decency” is to the British left as “Solidarity” is to European socdems. A cuddly and meaningless word onto which all manner of meanings can be painted.
It is completely unjustifiable that judges make these decisions, which will cost millions in the long run. This is power concentrated at the wrong level and exercised in an arbitrary fashion, without accountability.

Scotland has completely lost its grip on special needs cases. According to exclusive data obtained by Tempers Daily, more than 45% of pupils in many parts of Scotland are recorded as having additional support needs (ASN). In Glasgow (51.7%), more children are special than not!

I’ve figured out why this tweet annoyed me to much - it claims Britain colonised HK, and then claims Britain failed to uphold HK rights when it was handed back to China. But you can’t have it both ways - either you want HK to be returned to China, or you don’t.

The Building Safety Regulator has slowed down new homes in London. But it's also wrecking havoc in flat refurbs. One flat has seen a 9+ month approval process for what should be 8 weeks. The BSR demanded several extensions and £1000s. Read more here: benhopkinson.substack.com/p/time-is-a-fl…
Whenever I look into the old age care system I’m baffled at how unsustainable it is The economics of employing 745,000 to care for 441,000 make little utilitarian sense and, without a revolutionary productivity increase, will necessitate an underclass of poorly paid carers
