In today’s @thetimes @lara_spirit looks at our new polling on leadership attributes. 🌹The PM is underwater on almost all metrics. But positive on honesty. 🌳Badenoch does better than the PM on most and bests Farage on “honesty”, “respecting the public”, “cares about the country” and “saying what she really thinks”. ➡️Farage comes out on top on key attributes of “leader” and “strong” and “wants to change things quickly” 🆕But it’s Andy Burnham who comes out on top of those 3 across most of the leadership attributes tested across the board.

.@semafor profiles the New York Post Runners -- the backbone of the storied newsroom. “In a day and age where AI is taking over,” the @nypost is “still doing basic journalism every day,” @liaeustach says. The runner offers a dynamic, and distinctly analog, example of what a human does best, and what LLMs can’t do at all — knock doors, form a connection, catch a vibe. semafor.com/article/03/29/…

This is a pretty accurate description of where ordinary people are on this. I think they take the president at his word on the 4-6 weeks timeline that ends next weekend. If it goes longer, a lot of the trust that he’s built starts wavering. People trust Trump, but only to the timeline he said it would happen on.
Matt Walsh@MattWalshBlog

I’ve never seen such a disconnect between the commentary on this site and what I hear in the real world. I’ve talked to dozens of normal conservatives in real life about the Iran War and I haven’t met a single one who’s actually enthusiastically in favor of it. At best they’re warily optimistic. In most cases they’re opposed. In some cases they’re not only opposed but deeply furious. And yet here if you utter a word of criticism about the war you’ll be shouted down by throngs of alleged American conservatives who allegedly have wanted nothing more than for America to go to war with Iran. It just doesn’t reflect what I see on the ground. That’s not just cope because my position is unpopular with “my side.” I’ve held plenty of unpopular positions. I really don’t care. But in this case the social media vs real world divide is stark and unlike anything I’ve seen before.
