Few species can match the brutality of a teenage child appraising its parent.
I was reminded of this the morning after last month’s election as I passed my 18-year-old daughter on the stairs. “I’m never going to believe another word you say about politics,” she announced matter-of-factly. “Because you’ve been wrong about EVERYTHING.”
It was hard to argue….there’s a tendency to tune out evidence that doesn’t fit the prevailing narrative.
His political predictions, or rather the cessation of, will be a great loss to the bookmaking industry.

Rather naive of Katz to use a picture of his own 18 year old daughter on his BBC blog piece.
Had she been 15 years old I’m pretty sure that would have been against the rules.
