Intellectual tide moving in favour of the Conservative cause. Would not think so from the ham-fisted way the Conservative party presents it case. But read The Coming Wave (Mustafa Suleyman) to see how the digitalized state grows weaker and less trusted.

Andrew Neil Very few of the Sunak cabinet would be out of place in a Blair or Brown cabinet. Braverman and Jenrick were the notable exceptions and they got ousted for it. There is not a single traditional Tory policy Sunak’s government is pursuing e.g. crime, immigration, defence, etc.

With the economy technically in recession,and shop after shop boarded up, you would assume the BoE had learnt that high interest rates are not just investment poison but prolong inflation as well. But from their silo-economics advisers no such luck.

Why the State is getting bigger, but also in the democracies weaker. Read latest explanation in TheArticle. bit.ly/3X47mqp

These manifestos - are they even talking the right language? Polls pick up complaints about mortgage rates, energy bills, NHS , but populist common sense knows the causes are much deeper. External dangers usually make election pledges unfulfillable.

All the manifesto talk is of sunshine promised ahead. In fact realists know that its pea-soup fog . No-one really knows. Things might get easier but more likely to get harder with global dangers worsening. Frankness and honesty might go down better.

Manifesto commitments tend to get swamped by world events, of which there are plenty on the boil and more to come in these highly dangerous times. Politicians should show extreme caution about their promises. People are not fools.

he Tories really should put someone on the air for key interviews who has a grasp of international affairs, since it is what is happening /going to happen internationally that is going to make or break us and have the largest impact on our children's lives .

The theory of election pundits is that foreign affairs are nil interest to the voting electorate. 180 degrees wrong. It is not the populace who are fools about the world . It's the dumb party political strategists ,and some pollsters, who think that way.

No Mr.O'Connell (in The TIMES) . Look on the creative side. A new PFI-type alliance between Government (always cash-strapped) and the private sector's trillions is essential for the UK's prosperity and progress. See below, thearticle.com/uk-investment-…

Columnists worry about Starmer and the big state. No need for crystal ball,it’s here already - State bigger than ever,yet weaker than ever. Why? Populist pressures push the State into ever more functions, but with ever less ability to deliver.

Note to Sunday columnists. It’s not socialism that is swelling the state.Its technology and populism . Pressures to take on more functions from every side.Result: bankrupt public finances ,endless new regulations and hopeless delivery.

Can the Conservative party survive defeat? | FT Film ft.com/video/2ebac039… via Financial Times. Interesting but missing THE key point - which is that the left-right economic debate is fading world-wide and a new common ground of social capitalism is emerging.More

None of these FT experts have grasped the central new reality - that digital age economics are creating a new common ground for young and old alike at all levels. The party that can explain and deliver on a capital owning democracy wins the future.

Winter fuel payments cuts -a higher Treasury lunacy . New pension credits mean minimal net Exchequer gain and much suffering. Instead abolish WFP ( save £2bn+) , slim £14bn tax on all energy bills, beat down wholesale prices. Help all sides.
