This is probably true to a degree. Most people will only process the primary effects of a particular policy because weighing up all the myriad impacts is too complex. Weighing up things such as the bureaucratic cost of means testing against the savings of providing a perk just to the poorest, for instance, involves thinking far more deeply and comprehensively about political policy than the average person tends to care to.

Which is why trust is so important. People don't need to understand how spending can be afforded if they trust the politician who is telling them it can be done.

Good afternoon, everyone.

Dent Coad talking legal action against Gyimah over his Grenfell comments.

We are due one of Sky's nocturnal visits soon. Maybe.

As if by magic.

I passed two spice zombies on my way to catch the bus. They were in the entrance to House of Fraser and they were vertical.

This was new and impressive so I attempted to communicate and eventually one of them very slowly raised his thumb so obviously he was ok and I went on my way without disturbing them further.

None of us can predict anything.

We're all helpless clinging on to whatever makes us feel better.

Hoping for the best.

Not fun is it?

Sounds a bit like being mentally ill.
