I went to CPAC GB for The Economist. It was... interesting

On politicians (not) passing the football test

There are plenty of ways you can measure the Premier League's global popularity. My favourite? Google trends data

Your good news for the day - football attendance is booming outside the premier league

Britain has too many deer

Love this

Hi David! I'm writing a piece about BBC radio for The Economist and would love to ask you a few questions if you'd be up for it - please could you follow me back so I can DM you? Thanks!

Huge W for bluesky this

These are truly insane times

Insane thing for a White House Press Secretary to say Trumpism is a Christian nationalist movement sorry not sorry

Authoritarians have always understood the power of information better than democrats I wonder how much Trump/Musk social media strategy is informed by Russia successes (& otherwise) in the information war Hard to see Musk (and X) these days as anything other than MAGA’s chief information warrior

Anne simply doesn’t miss

American social media companies write the algorithms that determine what voters read; moderation systems are opaque; political advertising cannot always be tracked. Do European democracies, or any democracies, really have sovereign elections anymore? www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

He’s like an AI programmed to deliver the worst footballing opinions possible

It’s classic Trump - not a direct threat of violence, but an obvious willingness to accept violence against his political opponents (the Jan 6th pardons being the most brazen example)

The saddest thing about watching Musk’s self-radicalisation, that Harris touches on here, is the opportunity cost. The soon-to-be worlds first trillionaire is almost certainly going to put those resources towards some abject nonsense

God I’ve been waiting for Sam Harris to spill the tea on his beef with Elon and it does not disappoint open.substack.com/pub/samharri...

was great having you in as ever - come back soon !
