"Even if #Wagner is defeated quickly, which I would not take for granted, then this is still a big shock to the regime and it will have been weakened. If the confrontation goes in the other direction then all bets are off and panic may start to grip the Kremlin. The problem for autocrats like #Putin is that they don’t really know what is going on among their people, and that tends to add to the panic".

Chris Deerin pretty much on the mark here.

The obsesion with "independence" is damaging Scotland and Scottish Politics.

We need a gov that will fix the SNHS, Schools, Roads, Police etc.

The SNP is incapable for many reasons.

If I had time I'd subscribe to #NewStatesman and #Spectator magazines, so at least I wouldn't be in a left wing echo chamber. #EchoChambers take effort to escape from, it turns out.

"Nearly a year since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the historian Olesya Khromeychuk speaks to Megan Gibson about how Ukraine has been perceived by the outside world, and why the country’s courageous resistance should not have come as a surprise.

They discuss the history of civil society movements in Ukraine, why Volodymyr Zelensky is a successful leader, and what support Ukraine needs now".

Britain - a poor society with some very rich people living in it.

Despite being the "6th richest country in the world", the UK has living standards for the vast majority of the population below those of 'developed' countries.

Distribution matters.

#NewStatesman review of book

Death by PowerPoint: the global influence of McKinsey
A new book connects the consultancy firm to a series of social and economic crises. But how culpable is a company that only advises?

Shifting fantasy from a school to a college setting is an interesting observation. An explanation could be the age of the first (and second) "Harry Potter Generation". They are now between 18 and 34yr old according to #NewStatesman. So perfect college/university age.
