the national interest never rests, and neither do I
(unless it's outside 9am to 5pm, or a weekend, or a public holiday, or one of my generous leave allotments, or if I'm dipping into my flex-time balance or working from home, or if there's no promotion round coming up so no need for boss support)

so long as the centre fails to grapple with voter concerns around housing, immigration, et al, folks will explore other options until we wake up to the full-blown populist wave already crashing elsewhere

"Of course that's your contention. You're a 1st-year trainee on the China desk. You're in some thinktank doom loop and so naturally that's what you believe until next month, when the embassy hosts you to a 4-hour banquet and you stagger out convinced the West is in terminal decline."
