Moving the city's government to a desolate bit of the Royal Docks still feels like an absolute embarrassment

I do understand why the lobby have to pretend that their sources aren't liars or shysters or transparently fucking stupid. I don't understand why they expect the rest of us to engage in the same delusion, and get all huffy when we don't.
I wonder if it's scoops being used as the main measure of success that does it. The lobby hacks other lobby hacks rate most are those who get closest to their sources.
just realised with a sort of dull inevitability that at some point I'm going to end up writing a book with a title like "Seven institutions that completely fucked up Britain" aren't I

As with his bafflement when everyone started yelling at him for not giving any help to UC claimants: Sunak seems to openly believe his job is to hand money to his party's people, and has missed the bit where you're meant to pretend to care about anyone else
Speculating wildly, but I think maybe it's about having risen without trace? Politicians learn where the lines are by speaking to the electorate, Sunak has never had to do that, he's only spoken to Tory members.
Reminds me of the snotty briefing he did about how hurt he was people had been horrible about his lovely budget, and that he was thinking of packing it in and running off to California then we'd be sorry. It's like, mate, you've fundamentally misunderstood how all this works

I think my issue with the "we must avoid a wage-price spiral at all costs" line is that we're still getting the price spiral bit, and everyone pushing that line seems a lot less worried about that bit
Inflation is bad and we should try to avoid it, yes! But I don't remember that bit of the economics profession ever saying "no, THIS is the time when we should be raising wages", it's always "not now, now is bad"
and the fact that wages used to go up but now just... don't feels like an under discussed feature of the British economy
