Office politics is not optional: learn to play the game or you'll be its victim - Financial Times

If there is one thing most people seem to hate more than politics, it’s office politics. Back-stabbing, conniving, sucking up and kicking down: being on career-enhancing manoeuvres makes people a target of derision among colleagues. This is often laced with envy if their machinations produce results. As the Divine Comedy put it in their 2019 song “Office Politics”: “Press the flesh, do the deal/ Book your place on the hamster wheel”. But in recent weeks, I’ve had a rethink, after being embroil…

Who still votes Conservative? - Politics - Financial Times

The Conservatives are languishing in the polls, while Labour is riding high – but beneath the headline figures, how does the voter appeal of the main parties break down by sex, age and other factors? The FT’s Lucy Fisher is joined by Political Fix regulars Stephen Bush and Miranda Green to hear from chief data reporter John Burn-Murdoch. John also delves into the glaring ideological gap that has opened up between men and women under 30 and the team considers what his findings mean for the genera…

Will Labour's green U-turn weaken Starmer? - Financial Times

Keir Starmer dismantles Labour’s flagship pledge, shredding the party’s £28bn green investment plan. The FT’s Jim Pickard joins Miranda Green and chief political commentator Robert Shrimsley to assess the damage to Labour after weeks of confusion over the policy. And in the week when Liz Truss launched the latest Tory ginger group, the team dissects the Tory party’s threats on the right - including from Reform UK. Plus, FT Ireland correspondent Jude Webber discusses whether a Northern Ireland ex…

Pop goes the right as Sunak faces dual Truss-Farage threats - Finan...

How would you fight off an attack from an XL bully, the newly banned dog breed still causing havoc? Helpful advice from experts published this week in response to the latest case suggests covering the beast with your coat, offering it just one leg to chomp, or throwing a decoy bag of food to divert it. That way the attacker might consume something other than your own flesh. Watching this week’s launch of yet another Tory grouping — this time Liz Truss’s “Popular Conservatives” — it was hard no…

The best new politics books — a year of momentous elections - Finan...

There are some moments in political history when the tides change and there’s nothing anyone can do to hold it back. This observation may be pertinent to our own times, with a mammoth year of elections across the democratic world upon us, but it was made by James Callaghan, UK prime minister, in 1979, the year he was defeated by Margaret Thatcher. It’s included in Iain Dale’s forthcoming new book British General Election Campaigns 1830-2019 (Biteback £25). The book is a history of the 50 genera…

Zen and the art of the zoned-out commute

I can’t be alone in ruminating during my crowded and often late journey to work in London that if we each have an average of 4,000 weeks on this blessed Earth, as the writer Oliver Burkeman has so profitably pointed out, then this is a bad way to spend a high proportion of that time. But, of course, if I was alone, the problem wouldn’t arise. I’d be back at home where I can earn my crust with no distractions and no one else’s odours — or videos — to intrude. I used to love the Central Line. It…

Be a team player: bring all your selves to work - Financial Times

When people ask “How’s it going?”, I sometimes have to stop and think. The expected response is either “great” on a good day or “fine thanks” on the others. (Some Brits still favour the old-fashioned reply, “fair to middling” or even “fair to crap” as a useful blanket summary of life’s vicissitudes.) But rather than finding the right tone, what makes me pause is working out which “me” is being asked the question. Some elements either at work or at home are probably going very well. Others are m…
