That Polanski interview in Newsnight has to be a textbook example of how not to do damage control. Just comes across as someone who doesn’t pay attention whatsoever to what he’s doing on social media. One thing being authentic when you’re competent, this is just authentically incompetent

Going through my old photos when I went travelling around Canada and America after my semester studying abroad has me doubly sad about; A) How much I loved it and need to go back B) Just how much skinnier I was then compared to now

The Healy appointment as Chancellor I think is very clever and should have been more widely considered tbh (though it has surprised me). His concerns with defence are in sync with Burnham’s re-industrialisation push, widely respected and with economic experience under Brown
