  1. Coalition calculator - General Election 2015, FT.com

    Simple and clear. Nice. (via @AftertheFloodco)

  2. Dealing with SMS Spam from @PaddyPower ← Terence Eden’s Blog

    An amazing chain of organisations selling on spuriously-opted-in details for SMS spam. Seems like there’s effectively no way to stop it. (via @gwire)

    @suegyford Did you start paying… in SWEAT?

    @phl Ugh. Ours has been years of tenders and negotiations and committees (no involvement from me), and now dealing with 40 year old ducts.

    @NaomiAllthenews @rachelcoldicutt Look at us. “What did you do to save the country?” “I shared Guardian and LRB articles on Twitter!” :)

    @NaomiAllthenews @rachelcoldicutt I see it more as a couple of potential, believable, scenarios among many - predictions are always wrong.

    @rachelcoldicutt @NaomiAllthenews The end of lrb.co.uk/v37/n08/richar… suggests Labour winning will doom it, like Pasok. But losing also fatal.

    @NaomiAllthenews @rachelcoldicutt My dislike for the Tories requires more than a tweet. My dislike for Labour is just a resigned sigh.

  • philgyford’s avatar

    @NaomiAllthenews @rachelcoldicutt Definitely. But I wish there were more fundamental differences.“A bit nicer than the Tories” isn’t enough.

  • philgyford’s avatar

    @rachelcoldicutt That’s nice. I don’t even know who our Labour candidate is. Such a safe Tory seat :(

  • philgyford’s avatar

    Labour are so cautious and eager to please that I have no idea what the party actually believes in. It feels like there’s nothing left. Ha.

  • philgyford’s avatar

    Whenever I think “Maybe I’ll go for Labour after all” I read something like this lrb.co.uk/v37/n08/richar… and then think “Oh, yeah, rubbish.”

    Stop what you're doing and watch this video... not available in your country.

    How about a televised debate between the editor of the Sun in England and Wales and the ed of the Sun in Scotland? I would pay to see it.
