A whole 12% of voters think Brexit has been a success. And just 25% of Leave voters. Sigh.
Nothing screams talk of the market like the sight of the world’s biggest AI companies queuing to tap retail investors for hundreds of billions of dollars of equity even as they warn that the world needs protecting from them. My latest

There's quite a bit of good economics commentary around, but @nixonsimon.bsky.social is one of the few, and in my view the best, of those putting it within a broader political & political economy framework, as here:
JD Vance: "The deal could happen in the next week, but the deal could also happen months from now"

Trump tells the WSJ it’s no big deal when Iran shoots down a US Apache. I’m sure US service personnel will feel all warm and fuzzy hearing this.

This is the reason I think the term 'Oxbridge' is actively unhelpful, it makes the problem seem 50 per cent less bad than it is!
Side note: if Andy Burnham becomes PM, he'll be the first one educated at Cambridge since Stanley Baldwin, who matriculated in 1885.
This kind of thinking seeps into their mental model of unis too. Since a lot of senior MPs went to Oxbridge (or even just Oxford), they imagine, say, debate is a large part of the experience when 1) most unis don't have a debating union 2) most students don't attend a single extracurricular event.
