Why the politics of media leaks, briefings and "sources" is only spreading dread and fear The painfully long story of the government's SEND reforms has pushed exactly those buttons, among people already used to a level of anxiety that may soon get even worse

Latest from me, and one of the most important pieces on Special Needs I've written so far: "In fifteen years of political journalism, I don’t think I have seen anything quite like this: a mad game of briefing, counter-briefing and official stonewalling."

I'm exhausted And this was a fairly light day

I'd hoped normal service might resume today. I woke up with a tight 600 words mentally typed out on the suspension of the US-UK technology deal. The subject line included a terrific pun.

Then, I went for a walk in Sydney.

It was the last big weekend of the year, but it was the best and this was a highlight.

I’m not going to say Bob Dylan is as good as Scott McTominay, that would be crazy - but he could definitely lob Schmeichel from the halfway line.
