My unpopular opinion is that the government is doing a lot. Most of it is good, some of it is very good, and some of it is not good at all. It has a narrative and a sense of moral purpose - to defeat populism through competence and service. It has an ideology, which is left technocrat.

Farage, are you getting this?

Finally the truth about the corrupt culture of the Murdoch press is starting to come out. How they destroyed lives and reputations. From from the murder of Daniel Morgan to the sleazy stings of Mazher Mahmood

An extremist who supported the very anti-Muslim bigots who opportunistically jumped on this crime 👇

What's the difference between compassion and anger? Venerable Thubten Kunga explores how these two conflicting mental states can arise in response to social injustice or personal pain, and why only compassion reduces suffering.

I believe strongly that much of our mainstream media, which is owned by foreigners and non-doms is a blight on our country. Until we have a properly regulated media, with appropriate ownership rules, I can see little prospect of real progress for the UK.
