C4 Debate - 10 Lessons learnt

1. Everyone in British politics have learnt the wrong lessons from The Apprentice
2. Boris Johnson's first cabinet will all hate one another
3. Pushing thru suspension of Pt wont ever happen
4. Other than threat of no deal, still not clear why EU will renegotiate deal
5. We're never going to hear the end of Rory Stewart's bin.
6. Judging by this debate, fiscal conservatism is deal. Sorry Philip.
7. Give Rory an inch and he takes a mile
8. There's nothing more painful than watching one candidate defend another
9. Candidates agree education system in trouble but not which bit - primary school illiteracy? Tuition fees?
10. Hunt is an enigma. No deal is "potentially catastrophic" but must keep it on the table. Javid learnt his one liners.
C4 debate - Lessons not learnt

Who will be in the final two with Boris Johnson
“Dead” not “deal”

NEW

Footage shows Boris Johnson told activists on Saturday the “rough shape” of his brexit plan looked like “the Brady Amendment, the Malthouse Compromise” - which KEEPS the Withdrawal Agreement absent the backstop
NEW

Footage also shows Boris Johnson wants renegotiate the arrangements over the Irish border DURING an “implementation period” - but how would he get that?
Boris Johnson faces questions from experts over how he can do this

Sam Lowe, CER
While there is lots of talk of the withdrawal agreement being dead in the water, Boris’s statement suggests that in reality he wants to change very little, with the exception of the Irish backstop.

Sir Mark Sedwill is the most important person you’ve never heard of.

He combines National Security Advisor and now Cabinet Secretary. Finding out how he’s shaping government is the key to understanding where Britain goes next.

And some of his ideas may prove controversial
What follows is from a Civil Service World writeup of a roundtable sponsored by PA Consulting with a load of permanent secretaries.

Here's Boris Johnson in more unguarded times, saying he would vote to stay in the single market. This deserves a lot of love, so you know what to do!
Here's a great summary of some of the most two-faced positions taken by Boris Johnson on the subject of the EU, the referendum and the importance of the single market. It won't surprise you to learn he can hardly stay consistent from one week to the next.

And here's another wrap-up (with some inevitable overlap) of times Boris Johnson called for us to stay in the single market...

We live in a time of worship for self, it has become the preoccupation of our culture. Moulding the self, investing in the self, expressing the self, self care and selfies. Capitalism, the meritocracy, and the normalization Of selfishness. It now seems that the only human
motives that are real are the self-interested ones. The desire for money, status and power. It seems that giving, care, and love are just the icing on the huge gateau of society. When society builds itself on self- preoccupation, society becomes separated from one another,
divided and alienated. That’s what has happened to us. The rot we see in our politics is caused by the rot in our moral and cultural foundations. The way we relate to one another, in the way we see ourselves as separate from one another. The emphasis on self has produced over

Going to read “The Right Side of History”. This will be some mixture of enlightening, been there done that, and hate-read dunkathon. Let’s see.

No idea what Shapiro’s background is outside trolling libs, but I maybe he’s sort of Straussian? The ‘Jerusalem plus Athens’ thing.
So the thesis is ‘things have never been better, but we’re fucking it up now.’ Pinker + angst.
‘We’ in the book is Americans, natch.
