But I think smoking is fundamentally different for a couple of reasons. Firstly, unlike lots of other products that may not be good for you there is no safe level of smoking. It can’t be part of a balanced diet. It is also obviously highly addictive and it is responsible for one in four cancer deaths in our country.”

The Decade in Tory: The Sunday Times Bestseller: An Inventory

In the run-up to the 2010 election, this country was in a mess. GDP, both absolute and in per capita terms, had fallen in the wake of the financial crisis. Average wages, too, had taken a hit. Outside the realm of dry economic statistics, in what politicians like to refer to as the “real economy”, an unnerving number of crises were looming into view: an underfunded social care system, in which people could lose everything they had and still end up without good care in old age; a slight but definite decline in the rate of home ownership, as a growing number of people found themselves priced out; the near collapse in decent pension provision. At the centre of this decade of disaster lies the Brexit vote, not so much the nadir as the point of inflexion at which the collapse in government competence, honesty and standards in public life abruptly accelerated. As Jones puts it Sir Keir said he is now hoping to win the next general election and stay in Number 10 for at least a decade, after Tory voters were "fed up with the decline and despairing at the party they used to vote for".

However, while my notes and highlights are filled with "lol" or even "lol lol lol" I often had to qualify this with "sad lol" or "angry lol" because to read this catalogue of conservative iniquity is to be enraged at what the bastards have got away with - and continue to get away with. One of humour's powers is how it lowers the traditional barriers of established thinking (like lowering the shields on the Enterprise) and gives a brief opportunity for the photon torpedo of truth to get through (I may have overworked that analogy), so it might be tempting to give copies to any right leaning people in your circle?! Analysis of official rough-sleeping and temporary accommodation figures, along with social services records, by the charity Shelter showed that one in every 200 people is now without a home.

Lord Bethell said that a tax on unhealthy foods should be next on the list, along with measures to stop junk food outlets opening near schools.

Rishi Sunak has conceded that no child currently at secondary school in England will take the exams for his newly announced Advanced British Standard qualification.

More than two-thirds of voters believe Rishi Sunak represents “more of the same”, a new poll has found, after he used his Tory conference speech to position himself as the “change” candidate at the next general election. The last decade has been indistinguishable from a rollercoaster drawn by M. C. Escher, composed entirely of nauseating descents."
