oooh I've just got back from the pub, what channel is it on, I scent numbers
not a great sign for the business model that you need to turn off your ad blocker
neither is Alan Sugar talking about what a disaster Brexit is proving to be, while the presenter looks panicked and changes the subject
I have stubbed my toe on things with more charisma than Dan Wootton. I'm out. Four minutes, I lasted, but I'm not the audience, I suppose.
I wonder what's happening on this random episode of Star Trek from 1991 instead
It started with a good joke at least ("Deanna Troi, personal log: my mother is on board") which is better than GB News has managed
Anyway, to sum up, starting your own new media venture in the desperate hope there's a market for your own weird opinions remains a very silly thing to do.

Right, here you go. Most Tory leaders succeed; most Labour leaders fail. jonn.substack.com/p/statisticall…
This is a very back-of-an-envelope way of doing this, but: here's how Labour leaders have done at the various key electoral metrics... jonn.substack.com/p/statisticall… Image

One thing I think is unhealthy about the Labour party's forever war is that it's baked in that there's always a chunk of the left that's rooting for the leader to fail because it proves them *right*. This feels like it may, on balance, be a bad thing.
But I only started paying proper attention c2014. How much was this true before then?
basically, how much is this Corbyn, how much is this Twitter, and how much has this just been always true only I wasn't looking before?

Well, the big day is finally here so I thought it might be worth a quick thread, setting out some of the key things to look out for tonight. (1/?)
Around 7 EST - so just after midnight in the UK - we should behold a pale horse whose rider will lay waste one fourth of the Earth. But that's just an average! According to Nate Silver, on a good night for Trump, the horseman could lay waste to as much as half (2/?)
Some time around 3am London time the Seventh Seal will split asunder and the angelic trumpeting will presage the coming of the final battle. That's worth listening out for, especially if we're looking at high turnout in key states like Florida and Pennsylvania. (3/?)
