Just a massive failure of character. Novara are well funded, he doesn't need the money.
Are you finding a way to ācleverlyā make socialist arguments to conservatives, or are you legitimating arguments that are not only utterly grim but are having extensive effects in the here and now? pic.twitter.com/ayg1hcLjmZ— Tom Gann (@Tom_Gann) July 19, 2022

At moments like this, I like to remind myself of Lionel Trilling's distinction between 'fluent' and 'articulate'. Terry, like Boris, has been fluent for too long without remotely articulating anything.
the next tweet nails it

Which reminds me that we haven't seen anyone smirking about how birth rates supposedly spike 9 months after a blackout. (They actually tend to go down.)

The Daily Telegraph in general seems to be maniacally fixated on two subjects: "woke" and the SNP/Nicola Sturgeon.

... and to prove my point, this absolutely insane column by leading Brexit bonehead David Frost. Again paywalled but, take my word for it, the SNP should be printing this up and dropping from aircraft over Scotland come the next referendum.

People who had safe reporter jobs in local rags up to late 20th century, like doing the match reports for local football team or roving reporter on the crown green bowling league or whatever. And getting a comfortable wage for doing it. Shit, it must all seem like an impossible dream now.

come on guys, don't be down, there's absolutely a future for journalism in the UK, as part of a revolving door buddy system with finance and the conservative party

the editor at my local rag - Wayne Anker probably doesn't have a safe job. But nominative determinism and all that, he has a big future in the game.
