Presumably he‘s looking for finance from Musk over on X

Sure. I know nothing.

You missed … lack of

I like the concept very much. And I wld go - but I know already I am otherwise engaged that evening.

Fits vaguely with my novel.

Agree. I wld press ahead with it. It‘s going to be an App as part an HMG wallet along with a driving licence.

How does that work if there is no legislation yet or consultation ..,

I thought the Blair aspect was fake news.

One of the lessons of Brexit:

Cutting ties with a trading block means your leaders spend lots of time on the international stage

That‘s why it has been so criminal to denigrate the BBC. Was one of the great training grounds

My bet is on a mash up of 2 and 3. may be a sprinkling of 1.

It‘s going to be a pretty grim budget - tough decisions lots of cuts.

It‘s peculiar that they are so obsessed with the US whereas culturally the UK is far closer to thd Scandinavian countries - particularly Norway Sweden and Denmark.

Cameron & Osborne were always very right wing - they had to move to the centre to get elected.

Geology could crush hopes of extracting all North Sea’s oil and gas The remaining fields tend to be smaller, more remote and more technically challenging to drill into

The remaining oil in the North Sea is difficult to extract. Can’t quite work out why no one flags this up www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

I can see Javid coming back.

Very destabilising.

I keep hoping something or someone will turn up. But can’t get beyond Matt Hancock.

Good.

My partner (an academic) is struggling with burn out -😔

Amazed he hasn’t defected to Reform.

A great piece. Arguably your best yet.

Blair seeking redemption.
Trumps line about Bibi reads like something out of s novel.

Brilliant.

I am expecting Matt Hancock to come in stage left at some point …

Here is a thing that I hear from *almost every British Jew I know* but have barely heard expressed in any of these programmes: No single person has done more to make Jewish people globally less safe than Benjamin Netanyahu.

I used to live 2 minutes fromthere. Really dingy. Overrated.

respectful disagreeing & learning is v much the top thing the world could learn from Jews, IMO. the argument l'shem shamayim, for the sake of heaven. every person has a fragment of the infinite truth of the eyn sof. when someone disagrees with you they are sharing another perspective of the divine.

Given that there hasn’t been a consultation on it or any legislation brought forward to implement it - all of the above is ridiculous

Saying it in the recording is pretty bad. It actually making it to air is *woeful*. This is really basic stuff..!

I hope we are at peak social media insanity-

You don’t think it’s going to a card in a digital wallet with your NI number…

I thought it was fake news.

My assumption is that the ID card is going to be something in a wallet to go with the NHS App and probably have your NI number on it.

Just a monumental failure of basic fact-checking for a random conspiracy theory to go out on prime time BBC broadcasting. I’m lost as to how @hignfy.bsky.social let it happen.

The breadth of Jewish disapproval of Netanyahu is significantly under-reported in UK media. Views are never monolithic but the median British Jew feels an attachment to Israel and feels Netanyahu has been a disaster for Israel (Institute for Jewish Policy Research)
