Laura has been effectively acting as government PR on this. Unattributed quote criticising the judges and judge positive reporting on can do spirit and attitude.
This is more shameless than Nick Robinson's post election performance in 2010
She just parrots the government (or, less occasionally, the opposition) line.
She is a lazy non-journalist, who couldn’t find a story in a Beatrix Potter compendium.
This really is a energetic campaign against her by Labour isn’t it ?
TGOHF2 the sequel???
Who would buy a ticket after enduring the original?

Yes, I think she means well and isn't (intentionally) biased, but she's hopelessly out of her depth. She completely misunderstands what the role of a political journalist is supposed to be.
The contrast between her analysis and Katya Adler's, when they put the two of them on back-to-back, is so obvious.
She is effectively a newsreader, with Tory and Labour HQs providing the script, via their press offices.

How many "sequels" have we had to endure from you over the years?
Well done, @Tissue_Price ! And should you ever need a researcher, I hope I may advance my humble self - I am a statistician with considerable knowledge of the political milieu, security clearance (although now expired) and a fine singing voice...

On topic This is brilliant news. The coverage this will generate about Trump's crimes will be extremely valuable in bringing down the worst president in US history. Do I think the senate will convict? No. It's not impossible but it's pretty close. Will it make a difference? Absolutely. There's a shit-tonne of stuff that is in the public domain that the US public is not paying attention to. This is the start of all that cutting through.
Off topic Congratulations Tissue_Price. Don't take it personally -- because it's about your scumbag party, not you -- when I say I hope you lose your deposit.

I don't think it's meaningful to talk solely of gross approval. You need to look at net.

There was recently some discussion about employment changes in individual US states and someone (Foxy ??) wondered what the corresponding UK situation would be.
Well after looking at more than enough ONS data these are the changes in employment and unemployment rates in the three years since the Referendum:
With the overall UK employment rate increasing by 1.6% and unemployment rate decreasing by 1.1%.
Which means that the West Midlands, South West and Northern Ireland have done better than average on both employment and unemployment rates while East Midlands, East, South East, Wales and Scotland have done worse than average on both measures.
This doesn't give any indication as to variations within each region.
It was me, but I was more interested in shorter term changes, perhaps quarterly, as a leading indicator of recession and where it is hitting. Inspired by this:
The problem is that the ONS regional data is a bit erratic and I suspect that the USA will have similar problems.
For what its worth the change in employment rate from the last quarter is:
West Mids +0.7% Norn Ire +0.7% South West +0.6% East Mids +0.5% North East +0.4% South East +0.4% Yorkshire +0.2% East -0.0% North West -0.3% London -0.6% Wales -0.8% Scotland -1.0%
Not much of a pattern I'm afraid.
That’s not good for London, sadly.
Presumably you will be happy about that?
London's unemployment rate has been higher than the national average since at least 1992 and possibly many years earlier:

Voters want what they voted for implemented and they couldn't give a **** if they have to elect a proven lier to do it.
Nite all.
