How on earth has this vague tech editor been put up against someone with the subject matter expertise and gravitas as Jonathan Haidt - whether you agree with him or not. #Newsnight BBC Newsnight

It genuinely hadn’t occurred to me or any of my mentally well friends…

“Respectfully Michal, you asked me that question with an incredulous tone in your voice, so let me answer you in an hysterically defensive, intellectually incoherent, hand-flapping tone…” #R4Today BBC Radio 4 Today

I guess an optimistic reading of the Arizona decision (and many others) is that there’s one issue that might yet save American democracy in November - a woman’s right to an abortion.

But what a sick trade off for the “land of the free” to make.
