Morning.
Bit quiet on the politics front, isn't it?
Whitby was warm and sunny all week, it didn't rain on us once, which wasn't what I was expecting from Yorkshire, I have to say! We caught the purple heather up on the moors in full bloom and even braved the North Sea for a paddle with the kids.
It was nice to get away from Tory Brexit bullshit for a bit. Back home to drizzle, though. Oh well. I hope everyone's well and Mrs RogerOThornhill is getting on OK with her diagnosis and treatment.

The myth that Westminster’s voting system is ‘strong and stable’ has been bust for good

For the third time in a row, Westminster’s voting system failed to do what it says on the tin – produce a big government majority.
Today the Electoral Reform Society launch our report on June’s vote: ‘The 2017 General Election: Volatile Voting, Random Results’.
It shows the General Election saw the second highest level of electoral volatility – the movement of votes between parties – since 1931. People are switching sides and shopping around at astonishing levels.
But millions of those people’s votes are being thrown on the electoral scrapheap. 68% of votes had no impact on the result. That’s 22 million votes going to waste.

I did wonder if the weather was a bit unusually sunny, on account of so many people out and about!

I can't dismiss Big Ben as mere silly season frivolity I'm afraid. Everything about it is symbolic of a country that's totally lost its way. I find it enraging.

Re: Monday 21st August 2017
There have been several articles about the imminent repairs to Big Ben over the last couple of years, all saying the repairs could take several months.
It's only now that repairs are about to start that several years are being referred to.
It does seem quite rum. Either the government misled the press by accident or on purpose. It's not like the person in charge of the project suddenly discovered a couple of days ago it would take 4 years rather than 4 months. They must have known, so why is it a "surprise"?

"I’ve talked to people at the BBC, including their economics editor, about why they cannot apply the BBC Trust’s recommendations on science coverage to economics. (The Trust’s conclusion, in summary, is that in controversial areas the BBC should go with the overwhelming scientific consensus. In other words recognise scientific knowledge, and not treat it as just an opinion.) I think a summary of their response to my question is that economics should not be regarded as a science: there is no economic knowledge, just opinions. What that attitude means in practice is that the public do not hear from the many experts in international trade we have in the UK (and there are many), but instead they hear from Patrick Minford."

DCLG considering allowing shared ownership for RTB replacements
"Virtually all the homes sold under the Right to Buy are social rent properties, and the policy move would raise fears over the further depletion of social rented stock.
Figures released by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) last month revealed council homes are being sold off nearly three times faster than they are being replaced.
Since the 1980s when the policy was introduced, more than 1.5 million council homes have been sold under the Right to Buy. Councils were first allowed to spend receipts on replacements in 2012, and have since sold more than 54,000 homes and started just under 11,000 replacements.
In May, Inside Housing revealed only 48% of these replacements were social rent, with the remainder affordable rent – up to 80% of market rates."
