  1. Prikvačeni tweet

    Who *really* controls the internet – its wires, its protocols, its business model and its financing? And what does it all mean for the rest of us? That’s what I’ve tried to tackle in THE SYSTEM, published by on 14 May 2020. Pre-order:

  2. At least Clickhole’s new owner can rest easy that it never would dream of biting the hand that feeds.

    I love how ‘Am I The Asshole?’ subreddit is slowly but surely replacing Debrett’s Guide to Etiquette

  6. US friends! Especially ones I know IRL! I’m in your country on a mostly-fun-but-a-bit-of-work trip for 10 days or so from the end of this month? Any good itinerary suggestions? These especially welcome for Super Tuesday trips. Will be mostly NYC/DC based but travelling.

  7. Want politics to be better? You need a different mix of SpAds. And of civil servants. And of journalists. Too many within the three will defend themselves while agreeing on the need to reform the other two.

    Hate to be a cynic, but it feels like the main purpose of this law is that the government wants the subsequent legal fight.

  9. Because, Mr Johnson, there’s 450 million of them, they’ve got a bunch of other trade deals signed already, and so they’ve far less to lose by playing hardball and demanding the terms they want.

  11. The inner lobby defeats transparency. But so does the lobby. All journalists should have access on equal terms. The lobby system is outdated, risks too much "clubbability", erodes trust, and should scrapped.

    This week would be a good time to hold the 'New Year drinks'...😉 Invite all the Leadership contenders and their comms teams too.

  13. This seems akin to saying people didn’t complain about it until they found out about it..?

  14. Chlorinated chicken is far more an animal welfare issue than a food safety one. And that’s a question of ethics more than “science”.

    We've got hold of a leaked document which shows that the UK is willing to accept border checks in an EU trade agreement. It's another sign that the government is prepared to move away from EU food standards after Brexit.

  16. Imagine a world in which it was possible HS2 and buses actually *enhanced* one another instead of clearly being an either/or choice. If only, eh? IF ONLY.

  17. Some also noticed that the recent "revival" of the left was often not very left-wing – passing two budgets with major giveaways to relatively high earners without (for example) even ending the benefits freeze in the 2017 manifesto, and doing nothing to reverse it in 2019.

  18. Quite a lot of supposedly "centrist" commentators are (or would be) delighted by a revival of the left. They just know that if done by incompetent teams it will fail, and if led by apologists for anti-semitism or bullying, it will deserve to.

  19. Something like "feeding the fuckwits" would do the job, if only not for the swear. "Oh, you're feeding the fuckwits, are you?" seems harder for serious programmes/channels/commentators etc to try to defend.

  20. One of the most substantial problems with the “culture war” is its name. By nature it makes it sound SERIOUS and IMPORTANT. It is a series of provocative and soul-sapping takes, the junk food of public discourse, the bait too tasty not to take. It needs a name as dumb as that.
