Frankly this is the kind of post that shows someone has been reading too much of UK Twitter's mad China hawkism for too long. The Sunak-Starmer China policy remains the only real world China policy the UK can have.
Maybe we can move on from the "Donald Trump being an arsehole is not Keir Starmer's fault" discourse, and just go straight into "the British government has just approved the Chinese mega-embassy today and that IS Keir Starmer's fault" discourse.

I’m in favour of social media restrictions for teenagers so long as there are also social media restrictions for the over-60s.
Downing St is poised to launch a consultation into social media restrictions on teenagers, here’s our scoop from Saturday’s FT:

Anyway, if I were the Labour press team I would be digging up absolutely every single positive thing Nigel has said about Donald, every photo of the two of them hanging out etc etc and I would be preparing to dump it like a bucket of cold sick over his head.

It is interesting to note that #StarTrek #Voyager, so beloved in retrospect, was thought "woke" ("politically correct" was the term way back then) at its premiere.

Britain is one of the best places in recorded history to be born, live, work and grow old. Lots of room for improvement obviously but combat the pessimism, it’s the forerunner of fascism.
every provocateur who wangs on all the time about Britain being “broken” should be sent to an actual failed state or autocracy for a month as a learning experience, there’s no shortage of them
