    In the last few weeks since the first ⁦⁩ article about me, I’ve received lots of questions from young journalists about coping with abuse online. This is one of the worst. But all you can do is keep investigating and uncovering new stories.

    (Prediction: the review will make vague recommendations which will never be effected. But, just as with the BBC, the English judiciary will get the message and give the Govt a still wider margin of appreciation so Govt gets what it wants. That's how stuff works in England.)

    I’m 61. I predict that we will never, in my lifetime, return to what we took to be normality. Don’t drink the Kool Aid.

    Golden rules of this dreadful Government: 👉 inquiries that might pass the buck for its incompetence should happen now. 👉 inquiries that might point the finger at its incompetence should happen later or never.

    The ownership issue is crucial. Most newspapers are owned by billionaires or multimillionaires. They are, as a class, not neutral. They want a world that's good for people like them. Less tax, less regulation, fewer workers rights and trade unions. They use their papers to get it

    What did I say yesterday, joke! I knew this appointment was wrong. It’s never a good start if less than 12 hours into a job you’re saying sorry for highly offensive anti-gay remarks. Sewell you can’t lead the race commission, step aside. It will end badly.

    Also, can we spare a thought for the law team - including our own Philip Baker QC - who has just won one of the biggest tax cases in history. Philip is a perfect example of the no brilliant jerks rule - in that he is both brilliant, and lovely.

    I didn't predict the outcome in the Apple case, but fwiw neither am I surprised. In essence: use of state aid rules to tackle (one aspect of) tax competition has always been tricky; and Court tends to be cautious in tax cases. Judicial activism is not going to solve this one.

    Today the UK govt publishes a UK internal market White Paper that extols the virtues of 'frictionless trade' and free movement: boosting wages, productivity, investment, business certainty and lowering prices. Irony so bitter it makes your eyes bleed.

    Like everyone else, I'm pissed off with the Guardian too. The only journalist ever to break their word to me was from the Guardian. But what the last few days really show is what a difficult job it has keeping a fractured Left together. And, goodness me, someone needs to try.

    An important tool in advocacy is having data to determine where attitudes are still negative and hostile. This tell us where we stand today, and what we still need to change. The negative media portrayal is clearly having an effect, and we have to keep going.
