Did the person making your coffee get paid? I looked into how working for free just to be considered for a job is becoming the new normal in the capital, as young people navigate an increasingly brutal hunt for work www.londoncentric.media/i/192962193/...

Copying Denmark’s tough stance on migration no longer looks like such a good idea for Keir Starmer, writes Morgan Jones

For the avoidance of doubt, those who are arguing for “drill baby drill” really don’t get the seriousness of the situation. We should not be falling back on technologies that damage us, our economy and our future, but rather be embracing increasingly cheap and reliable home grown renewable energy.

why is this the picture of starmer labour have sent out to members before the locals it's giving

i fear … phone disease

Copying Denmark’s tough stance on migration no longer looks like such a good idea for Keir Starmer, writes Morgan Jones

Does Labour really want to do it like Denmark? I've written about why the strategy is increasingly beleaguered, www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/728...

Spend Your Tuesday Evening With Me

Very nice review of my book in the Telegraph today: www.telegraph.co.uk/books/non-fi...

what people sound like when they say i asked claude

Extremely glad that Wikipedia has decided to remain what it has long been: a towering pinnacle of HUMAN cultural achievement

friend has just sent me a post that I can only describe as "geopolitically minded anti pistachio backlash". a win for my prediction skills

Thought "oh this is too dry and niche" but then remembered it's Bluesky: After years as a committed Daily podcast listener, I have recently switched my allegiance to the World Service's The Global Story, it is also daily and much superior.

I really enjoyed returning to Past Present Future to talk about "political conversions" - starting with my favourite topic: interwar socialists who eventually embraced fascism

For anyone interested: I have since read Golden Hill by Francis Spufford and There is no anti memetics division by qntm and I liked them both very much

Had a good evening at @mileendinstitute.bsky.social catching up with (Following Back, if you will) various Pro Europeans at @morganj0nes.bsky.social's book launch. Get yourself a copy!

Denmark not the ideal model, you say ? www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/oc...

I wish I could say my greatest work had a big more heft, but truths are truths. I've written about my lasting contribution to the culture (the Big Leaf Tweet): www.newstatesman.com/culture/life...

starting to plan my hen do. I think me and the girls will meet and euston station and then tunnel into the foundations and live there for several weeks. a variety of yimby groups will release statements condemning us

did they ever get legs

honestly this kind of answer is why he’s so good

Apparently Eventbrite was briefly showing this as "sold out". We've now corrected that, so if you want a (free) ticket please do have another go.

Pleased with this thoughtful and interesting review of my book:

the cry of the human heart here is just undeniable

What novels (or novelistic non-fiction) would people recommend reading? I have picked up a few recommendations of late that I've really struggled to get into.

I would say I think about the Tony Tulaithimutte short story "Our Dope Future" daily

I think the change in Juno experience from watching it as a young teenage girl just after it came out to as an adult is the most film-hits-one-way-then-another experience I've had, which is why it's such a great film. Jason Bateman deserved an Oscar, all time screen villain performance

Great read on the 2016 referendum, its aftermath and where it all went wrong.

Free to read on Substack: my, let’s say still quite furious, review of @morganj0nes.bsky.social’s book on the People’s Vote campaign. substack.com/@rostaylor24...

Just wanted you guys to see “Riding in a golf cart fatly”

Great pithy summary of my book here from Aveek !

This will be brilliant

before lent i became briefly addicted to ebay and bought a hornsea teaset for £30 before making myself swear off the site til Easter. good overall though

It’s personal: I reviewed @morganj0nes.bsky.social’s book about the failed campaign for a second referendum for @thenewworldmag.bsky.social. www.thenewworld.co.uk/ros-taylor-o...

David's piece is brilliant in highlighting the stakes involved in the "deliverism" debate - the potential implications for policymaking and democratic accountability are pretty profound (and this often seems underappreciated)
