What the picker changes
  • Top topics digest — the cards score the selected period against the prior 4 weeks.
  • 12-week heatmap & outlet matrix — show the 12 weeks ending at the selected week (they slide back with the picker, they aren’t a fixed snapshot).
  • Per-topic volume / alias drift — same 12-week trailing window, anchored on the selected period.
  • Coverage gap quadrant — scores the selected period against the 12 weeks before it (not including it).
  • Anomaly cards — only show alerts the detector fired during the selected period. Quiet weeks legitimately show none.
What stays as-is
  • Outlet orientation strip / lean colours — context-only, drawn from the last 12 weeks of activity regardless.
  • Co-occurrence graph — recent-activity anchored, not picker-driven.
  • Source & topic profiles — all-time data for the topic; the picker doesn’t affect them.
Rolling 7 days is a sliding live window for “current vibes”; switch to Weekly to compare specific weeks side-by-side.

    Yeah, I do remember that, and it was an overreaction, I think, from both of my colleagues. Um it was a kind of a sense of disappointment because we'd worked quite well with uh with uh Tim as our WTO negotiator in Geneva, and it came as a bit of a bolt out of the blue. And I suspect uh the same thing has happened with Rakesh Schneidu, who I happen to know. Actually, I didn't know he was um uh a Labour person, but I dealt with him extensively because he used to turn up at the uh the ethnic uh functions that I went to, both as an MP uh and then later as mayor, and he I mean, he'll be a superb addition to parliament. Um, but you know, I I thought the comments from uh the police commissioner uh and the police minister would were just um as you said, a bit of an overreaction. I think it's good when you get quality candidates into parliament, and I think that Rakesh uh Naidu will be a quality candidate, a quality MP, uh, with the potential to be a really good minister in due course.
