There is some truth in that. Often governments specify targets and metrics to measure them by.
Goodhartās Law then comes into play, āWhen a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.ā
With the LFS they are trying to make sense of the data. Iāve actually just filled in a similar type of survey for the German Ministry of Labour and Social affairs regarding the experience of migrant workers. They offered a 5ā¬ gift voucher for filling in the survey. I donāt know if something similar would work with the IFS or if it would skew the figures, because they would get more responses from those that needed a petrol voucher or whatever.

We need a professional diplomat. Itās too important for personality cults.
Unfortunately, Boris Johnson undermined that role.

Itās not even worth a secondās thought.
I donāt understand the spinelessness of the centre left when confronted by the far right. Why donāt they show some fight ffs?!
Itās the same in the States, itās the same in Germany, it seems to be the same everywhere.

Narrow it down please.
There are 2 cunts in the headline
Firstly, I am not suggesting it should happen or that it would be a good thing. However, it would also be a stupid not to consider it, would it not? If you remove the Party and the individual, it is quite a valid idea. Someone, who has a good rapport with Trump and Musk, would command a bit more respect with the objections/concerns of the Governmentā¦
Just a quick question, what would Labour voters/members do if the PM engaged in this proposition?

Your post is very dramatic to say the least. Labour hasnāt even agreed to entertain Farageās idea and youāre having kittens.
Politics is about balance, most Governments - especially in the UK, would not be in power if they adopted predominantly Left or Right policies. Additionally, the majority of the public, the people who vote and decide the outcome of elections couldnāt care less about who was in power as long as it made their lives more prosperous, or in fact easier.
So a questionā¦ Starmer entertains Farageās proposal and with his help, the UK negotiates a really good trade deal with the US, with maybe a few Concessions that go against Labourās principles. Would you be happy with this? Or would you feel Starmer/Labour sold out?
Ffs there is no good trade deal that involves a Trump lead US. That is bonkers to even consider it.
Secondly, do you honestly believe Farage has suggested that his involvement for the good of the Uk? He is a grifter that has done eff all for his constituents but is more ghan happy to attend Steve Bannon right wing boot camps and seminars telling wealthy people how to set up multi national citizenships and passports for tax avoidance.
Thirdly, there is not a single Farage policy that would make people wealthier. Not a chance. Itcwould make him wealthier though.
His involvement is lunacy on every level.
I would ask him how his Clacton surgeries are going.

Heās that as well.
So far heās convinced 15k people to pay Ā£25 to be a member if Reform plc. As members they have no say in the party, no ownership, no voting rights, cannot question party leadership and so on.
Reform party membership has now grown larger than the Tory party membership.

Ffs how do you know that? And guess what Trump is the President in waiting, so what does the Government do.
Starmer: Mandelson, donāt both going the US, Noo_Noo said that āthere is no good trade deal that involves a Trump lead USā. So letās hold fire for 4/5 years.
Mandelson: Okay boss, but you do know we may not be in Government in 4/5 years.
No, and I didnāt suggest it was.
If you read my post I said to remove the party and the individual but you canāt even do that. If you did that then would it be an idea worth considering?
Who is in Power?ā¦.it wouldnāt be Farageās or An others policy.
