   @simon_brooke was it the Bunker that put the idea that Annas Sarwar is a serious UK Labour leadership contender? I heard it on one of those podcasts a couple of days ago and had a wee guffaw. The thinking is that since Sarwar has single handedly slain the SNP and saved the Union, he's going to be really popular with English Nationalists. I may be paraphrasing slightly.

     Last night, I was thinking that Kuenssberg wasn't really a journalist, she was more a groupie; this morning, The Bunker is talking about politics as fandoms. I think this says a lot about modern political discourse in the UK.

     There is little serious interest in, or analysis of, policy; the focus is on who is briefing against who, sleeping with who, plotting against who, winning arcane popularity contests.

     This is essentially unserious.
