Britain’s Reform UK party does not exist. It’s fake. Made up. A bogeyman to scare Tory MPs and make them go to bed on time economist.com/britain/2024/0…

"But as Farage owns 53 per cent of Reform UK Ltd...he is able to remove Tice as a director or take the decision to unilaterally dissolve the organisation, marking him as the party’s ultimate kingmaker." Great @FT dive by @rafeuddin_ into Reform UK ft.com/content/4059c9…

Excellent piece by @duncanrobinson. "Reform UK [is] something more powerful than a small political party: it is a nightmare". And as Karl Marx pointed out, nightmares can weigh very heavily on the minds of the living.

@duncanrobinson Teenagers drinking is good, keeps them off their phones
Really good piece that gets to the heart of my frustration with coverage of Reform. They are fundamentally hollow, but retain enormous power because they fit with an interesting narrative for the governing party and wide chunks of the press.

Good piece here on fixing the UK's incredibly wasteful VAT regime, which gives away huge amounts of money to the highest spenders in the name of progressivity. economist.com/britain/2024/0…
This is a great piece. I was pretty taken aback the first time I looked at national identity in the APS and saw that English identity was declining for the entire period that Englishness was most hyped

The best line : "Oddly, one of the few people to notice the switch from English to British patriotism was Donald Trump, an idiot savant who remarked: “I asked Boris, ‘Where’s England? You don’t use it too much any more.’”"

One of those "Books I've read this year" threads both as a record and to keep me reading.
The fear and disempowerment that being on edge from being scolded induces drives bad outcomes, I’m sure. Anyway, here is Hannah’s full piece. It’s well worth reading: “My nightmare giving birth — and Britain’s maternity scandal” thetimes.co.uk/article/f6ff7f…
The NHS is (among other things) a huge, complicated machine. If you are a patient rather than staff — ie you only interact with the machine sporadically, usually when you’re already worried and ill — you need clear instructions and empathy.
All of @hannahsbee’s piece on birth trauma (in the NS, and now today’s Times) is brilliant. But this little thing stood out to me, because it’s an experience I’ve had in the NHS too — being given bad or contradictory instructions and then being scolded for following them:
