Yup. The vampire economics of Tufton Street have next to no traction in the ‘real world’ but in Westminster & the media they are omnipresent & absurdly over-represented. (This hasn’t happened by accident.)

As they stand here, on the scorched earth of 2020's Britain - among the devastation THEY wrought - the ERG have just seen the reason for it all vanish before their eyes, Napoleon gazing upon Moscow in flames. I hear that IEA jihadi Truss is depressed. I'm not surprised. 11/11
Astonishing piece from the associate editor and chief economics commentator of the FT, no less. Martin was also one of the first 'adults' to call time on neoliberalism.

Now is the moment for Keir Starmer to craft the narrative that sticks in the public mind for years to come - the one that puts the blame for the current crisis squarely where it belongs. Latest column theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Keir Starmer can lock the imploding Tories out for a decade – if he gets the message right |...

Labour has a brief window to sear a narrative into the public’s mind, so the Conservatives are saddled with this crisis for years, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

Call in a beer-strike: another reason why DTC is overblown

Mark Ritson has just published a piece in Marketing Week which skewers a lot of the hype around the so-called direct-to-consumer (DTC) revolution. I have also been brewing some thoughts on this one...

Why the new easyJet digital thingy is all about fantasy
