In retrospect, I think, the second Elizabethan era will be seen as a time when Britain repeatedly tried and failed to become a normal European nation. It failed because it couldn't properly wake from the dream of empire. I hope it will keep trying.

No, @BBCnews Truss isn't spending anything. We're spending everything.

I remember when @RichardJMurphy and @DavidHenigUK talked ever so cautiously and politely about UK economy and trade. Their language seems to have changed in recent years. Wonder why? Follow them.

@ChrissieGrech Why would a gov't deliberately set out to harm its country? Well, it's what rich Russians did in the 1990s. And they bought up assets cheap, then sold them dear, and made the richest people in the world.

Yesterday was so bad that we have no choice now but think about the world we want after neoliberalism taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2022/09/0… Truss has created a far-right government intent on destruction. We have to imagine a better world if we are to survive.

I thought "I'll put the TV news on", and then found that in the online, on-demand world, I don't actually know how you do that any more.

Reading the first volume of Volker Ullrich's biography of Adolf Hitler. It's a salutary work, which shows in detail how AH relentlessly exploited constitutional processes to achieve dictatorial power, and how mainstream parties kept underestimating the threat he posed.

Another brochure with lovely pictures and prices, I love this kind of stuff, just to get an idea of how rare/common my water heater was.

A few years ago I bought myself an old water boiler, just for show, it's probably not safe to use, but it will look nice in my kitchen. Of course I researched it like mad and I found a few more of those fun circle head only shower thingies. So here's a very random research 🧵

The Conservative Party is mentally stuck on a 1980s idea of deregulation which is absolutely not relevant to the 2020s.
