OK but I'm not eating this every day so that can't be it.
Absolutely anything specific rather than general. In the same way that my parents and my children are in many important ways like anyone else’s parents and children and no better or worse than any of them but are still uniquely important to me.

By definition calling an election is “the last throw of the dice”, whenever it happens.
It is not entirely obvious to me in what sense Candy Crush is a saga.
… because while I lack any specific experience or expertise I possess a basic understanding of the concepts involved and that is literally all you need to grasp this point.
This is true, it’s the flipside of this phenomenon which I wrote about after Alistair Darling died: dividinglines.substack.com/p/and-a-close-…

This is a fantastic deal - you get a 50p coin and then they pay you another £19.50. Fill your boots.

This story is a perfect example of why the govt is so knackered in the polls. Even those who support the Rwanda policy - I don't - will come to associate it with rank incompetence. Within days, we'll hear in focus groups: "They can't even find the people to put on the planes"

It feels like the tides are finally starting to turn on this. Allowing a few thousand unelected & unaccountable people to appoint a Prime Minister is fundamentally anti-democratic. The choice should be returned to elected MPs, who are answerable to the public for their choices.

Enormously frustrating listening to curriculum discussions on Start The Week on Radio 4 about Physics. The complaint is that GCSE physics is the same as when the people discussing the issue studied the subject — but that is *exactly what you’d expect*.
"Everyone has a gender that forms part of their identity" is an ideological position, though. It's a spefic lens through which to look at the world and interpret it- it's not a fact, it's an idea.
Just bc anti-trans activists, politicians & journalists keep repeating the phrase “gender identity ideology” it doesn’t make it a thing. Everyone has a gender that forms part of their identity. And we should all have the right to express our gender in a way that is true to us
