What made you draw that conclusion? Based on last weekend’s results you have to admit it was a surprise. I haven’t seen any “disappointment” in their reporting

I've just opened my Twitter feed and the first post (from an hour ago - thanks Elon) was basically an echo of Fields post. Particularly in relation to a post saying "far right's historic moment may have to wait". I'm completely ignorant to French politics, but as much as I see the PM has resigned and Le Pen's NR hasn't won either, is there any clear decisive winner? What happens next? |

What has happened with UK government this weekend. Working cabinet meetings on Saturday, regional diplomacy on Sunday. It's like these been an outbreak of common sense and grown ups. Also, I have to go to Gt Yarmouth with work next week. As it's reform stronghold should I take my passport as I'm travelling from Scotland? |

Oh and Johnson was also working on international diplomacy, albeit via partying all night with Evgeny Lebedev. Did we ever get the report into Russian influence into our elections? |

Also, random thought about the complaints that labour have a landslide of seats for the share of the vote achieved. During the Thatcher landslide in 1984. The Liberal SDP alliance had 25.4% of the vote but came third, whereas in 2024 Conservatives achieved less at 24% but still achieved the status of official opposition... |

As usual, reading what one journalist has typed as a creative headline <> a statement of the BBCs editorial position. It's a badly done phrase, but let's not over-egg the importance of the text of the live feed shall we?

Thanks for the answer Paul, I guess I'm struggling to understand what people mean by neoliberalism exactly and so what it would mean to end it.
