The Boris numbers in these comparisons with Rishi and Keir should be worrying for the Tories – politicalbetting.com
The above YouGov polling came out last week but got overshadowed by the budget and I think they should be highlighted.

It looks more like Occam's Cutlery Canteen.
What a terrible problem to have...

Back in 2013-13-15 that was a great indicator that Dave was doing better than the polling suggested.

Listen to this interview with Boris and Rishi at the same time and you can see why the figures are the way they are
Rishi just sounds competent.
Tom Bingham put it as 'The law must be accessible and so far as possible intelligible, clear and predictable'.
Constant confusion of laws on laws can make it hard.
On incompetence: are you confused by how high Boris Johnson's rating is?
Too much bother to check rural or done separately?

So it’s possible she blind-sided Harry with this. Or she said it in a way he did not quite expect. Cf her exaggeration about the ‘several’ incidents, whereas, in truth, just once
Time to bring on Ed Balls?
The purpose of this piece is to compare Johnson v. Sunak v. Starmer.
So while Sunak is the likely successor to Boris as long as Boris retains a poll lead he will remain in post

For example, countries at the top end of happiness polls often have rather high suicide rates. Are we sure we aren't just capturing countries where it is particularly hard to admit to not being happy?
Similarly, I'd be interested to see how far attitudes in vaccine reluctance polls are reflected in actual refusal rates in due course. I'd expect there to be some degree of association, but maybe not all that strong.
Just realised that both of them are now estranged from their respective fathers. That’s sad. It also makes them a rival to the Royal Family as ‘most dysfunctional royal family’
Harry still though obviously retains familial ties to the royals and is now having to row back to minimise the damage. However she should watch out, Meghan will likely now have an eye on her next career move, given Harry is now of less use to her give it a few years and she might be looking to get out of that relationship too and do a Jackie Onassis and marry a billionaire and take an even further step up
For all the money and privilege, it is not an enviable place to be
That's something I've learned from writing threads for nearly a decade.
He's a lucky general.
BP has told office-based staff they will be expected to spend two days a week working from home after lockdown restrictions ease.
The oil giant said in meetings last month that most would be asked to work from home 40% of the time, or two days a week for full-time employees.
The new "hybrid" work model will affect 25,000 BP staff, with 6,000 in the UK.

Is this obligatory? If so this is really tough on younger workers who may not have space at home, and who like being in an office (they do exist, I’ve met some). It means MOST of the week - four days - will be spent at home.
We are rushing through a social revolution without much thought

In this case, office space.
Bring Your Own. First it was was BYO mobile, then BYPO internet connection, then it was BYO computer - log into a VM on the company setup, so all you need is Citrix et al.
Now it is BYO desk, office space, chair, monitor(s)......
Plus Labour have no one better to replace him with anyway, apart from maybe Burnham who is not even an MP

This will pile a lot of pressure on marriages and families. It is being done heedlessly, and for profit.
Pretty much as I see him.
He has now spoken to his father more recently, but described his relationship as "space", he doesn't speak to his brother / his wife, and most recently the family wouldn't talk to them about Prince Philip when they tried to ask.
The only royal he named as having semi-regular contact with only the past year is the Grannie.
I became a first-time grandfather but at least I know the routine.
Though even then merchants and farmers were still above peasants just below knights
Perhaps out of lockdown he will be able to make an impact. If not, he is toast.
For those that don't know the Joy Joy in question - hotdesking. The morning fight for a place to sit, preferably the desk without the broken chair/keyboard/mouse etc....
But thank you for telling me there werent billionaires, which I never said there were.
On international Woman's day, it is worth noting how working mothers have been doing most of the home education as well as childcare, and still having to appear bright on Zoom.
