The cloud explodes as data reaches critical mass. All we hear is the pitter-patter of tiny Twitter twats.

Indeed. Bringing the violence online is a good thing, although it looks like itโ€™s stewing there a bit and threatening to spill overโ€ฆ

All the employers griping that they can't pay their graduate intake the minimum wage isn't quite the flex they think it is - and it's good to see the FT noticing.

Meanwhile, in the States, itโ€™s the other way around. And that seems at least as unhealthy.

Most British young men reject the far right - UK in a changing Europe Emilia Belknap and Stuart Turnbull-Dugarte explain their analysis on the demographics of Reform UK voters in the UK. They argue that while the dominant narrative is that young men are the most likely to turn to the party, the evidence does not support this.

"The most common response among men aged 18-25, as with their female peers, is to state that they would never consider voting for Reform."

Elon Musk is once again inciting violence on British streets because the government has taught him there are literally no consequences for doing so.

They even carry on using his far-right social network to promote government policy as he does it. The absence of backbone is *astounding*.

This is what I think of as the most important chart in British politics. It shows the amount people spend on retail sales and the amount they get. Compared to Feb 2022 people are spending about 16% more but consuming 4% less.

and these two paragraphs - even if not placed next to one another - would be astounding were it not for a world where Trump has made anything (bad) possible

The ideal version of โ€œLet It Beโ€ still doesnโ€™t exist. It would be the simpler backing track now available on the โ€œNakedโ€ album, with the guitar solo from the original album release (not the single version).

There, I said it.

I think this is absolutely right. Also, so many of these guys do actually understand that 'a mixed-race family in an advert' is there to sell people things. They absolutely cannot stand that some minorities are successful. It is resentment all the way down.

Your point about London is important too: the city is the epicentre of the UK advertising industry, which will account for some of the difference (and perhaps the friction)

If anyone thinks advertising is supposed to represent real life, then they profoundly misunderstand advertising.

Advertising is generally aspirational. They are triggered by the idea that we should aspire to be more diverse than we already are.

There is too much polling. I do not care what Janan Ganesh thinks of the great man theory of history. I care even less what the general public thinks about it. Historical theory is not settled by doorstep opinion popularity contests. Stop asking people stupid questions now please.
