When centrists adopt far-right rhetoric, they don’t make themselves stronger. They make themselves look inauthentic, legitimise the far right, and shift the political debate onto terrain defined by their opponents.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.

Labour's disastrous plight is very easy to understand.
The people who run the party were good at one thing: smashing the left.
Destroying, not building, is their skill. They have no vision for the country. They're in power because the Tories imploded, and no other reason.
