Extraordinary numbers in Telegraph piece today (the conclusions of which I find daft, but doesnβt change this). We are going to leave an incredibly dysfunctional country to our children & grandchildren. Nation-states generally donβt survive things going *this* badly wrong.

What is happening to Birmingham, which should be one of Europe's great cities, is criminal. Massive cuts, 21% council tax rise, 600 job losses, over Β£1B of assets to be sold. This is Europe's youngest city - it's meant to offer a glimpse of the future! https://t.co/c0JYciDtnl

Tragedy about #titanicsub. Worth to point out to #news outlets however that hundreds of #refugees died at see in the Mediterranean this week while trying to reach a humane life. Inequality persists even at death.
