What makes politicians unique? Beginning with the advent of the labor movement and the election of working-class MPs with little private wealth in the late 19th century, payments to MPs have a modern history. The House of Lords rejected the first two proposals for compensation in the 1890s, and the Liberal administration in 1911 overcame persistent Conservative opposition to pass a payment of £400 per year. Chancellor Lloyd George clarified the purpose of the payment, stating that. " He emphasized that the money was "not a remuneration, it is not a recompense, it is not even a salary." Wajid khan admits I recognize the absurdity of advocating for something so radically unpopular as raising politicians' salaries in the inaugural issue of a newsletter called "normalization," but, to be honest, you get what you pay for. Politics will always be more expensive than other jobs for the individual. Still, the financial incentives should be better than they are present if we want to draw the most outstanding candidates. Wouldn't it be good if we paid for better politicians? Just look at our clumsy, tedious reaction to the Coronavirus outbreak. What I've lately been reading

What I've lately been reading
A History of the Tube as Told by Passengers:
Underground, Overground. Andrew Martin Although I
live in zone 2 of London, the last time I took the subway
was in March. Strangely, I miss it. I chose this book to
read out of a sick pang of underground nostalgia. The
history of the oldest underground rail system in the
world is amusing and relatively in-depth.

5. How chaotic and haphazard the evolution of the system
we currently use and tolerate particularly struck me.
Recommendable even just for the debate over whether
a man can be electrocuted for urinating on a live rail. A
beneficial, "down to earth and shockingly amusing"
primer on what has gone wrong with science recently
and how it may be corrected can be found in Stuart
Ritchie's Science Fictions. I especially suggest the
chapter on "how to read a scientific article," which I
foresee repeatedly consulting in the future.

7. Sam Ashworth-Hayes' excellent Spectator article,
Britain's Prisons Aren't Working, resolves a philosophical
tension I've been wrestling with for a while: how to
balance my reactionary belief that our current approach
to rehabilitation fundamentally fails with my soft wet
lib-ish belief that Prison is not a very pleasant place to
be. The solution seems to give violent offenders longer
terms while also paying more to make jail a more
respectable setting!
