Morning all.

I'm sure this won't be completely ignored or ridiculed to hell. Hey Kier, I've got a radical idea to engage young people - offer them something to make their lives better.

As a political reporter in my 20s, I've lost count of the amount of times I've asked friends where they primarily get their news from and they've said the Simple Politics Instagram account

118 of the 710 people I follow on IG follow that account

Compared to 163 who follow BBC News

What proportion of voters have IG accounts , her's a very small biased sample etc etc !

Going by millions of Followers Russell Brand would be one, and in the US Joe Rogan and Fucker Carlson

One is tempted to think that this had not been thought through , but then that's zero surprise !

The contempt with which Both the previously major parties are held is their minions monotonously repeating stuff that is fairly obviously suspect and possibly garbage --

DAVID SMITH
Beware statistical quirks — they may not tell the whole story
Both Labour and Tory governments lay claims on having ‘the fastest growth in the G7’, which is why we should not rush to judgment on economic data

There are two points to be made on this. The first is that in both cases the “fastest growth in the G7” claim was silly. For the Tories, the first-quarter bounce came at the end of a dismal parliament for economic growth, admittedly seriously hampered by the pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The UK’s growth rate over that period was the second slowest in the G7, outpaced by France, Italy and, most dramatically, the United States.

Labour’s claim was just as silly. A strong first quarter followed six months of weak growth, with quarterly growth rates of zero and 0.1 per cent respectively, flatlining. It is likely to be followed by much weaker growth in the second quarter, when the economy may not do much better than hold its head above water.
