In right wing circles you dont even need to win the argument anymore
You just say some crazy shit like “two tier policing” or “Lucy Connolly is a political prisoner” and keep saying it
And eventually the Telegraph, Question Time, Ferrari will perpetuate the narrative as though it was pre-accepted

The Telegraph has disappeared this from their website, possibly out of mortal shame.

Trump’s Super Bowl interview was another display of authoritarian rhetoric, evasive answers, and self-aggrandizement, with a pro-Trump buffoon leading the discussion. His blackshirt politics are no longer subtle, just a blatant attempt to reshape democracy in his image.

If the Conservative Party is looking for a ‘Clause IV moment’ it could do a lot worse than suspending Suella Braverman — pushing her out before she jumps
Not sure it fits with Badenoch’s ostensible strategy. But at some point Braverman will defect & Badenoch would do well to get ahead of any damage

It's been quite something to watch supposedly 'patriotic' British newspapers actively cheerleading on a foreign administration that is openly working against our interests.

Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I’ve seen your face before, my friend
But I don’t know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you’ve been
It’s all been a pack of lies.

💥 YES! The Youth Mobility Scheme (EU Countries) Bill is looking like it will go through without government opposition today.
That’s because of YOU!
You have all flooded the zone with 8-10,000 emails to your MPs on this.
Keep them coming. And do follow-ups too.

The Hegseth hearing is doing one thing incredibly well: it’s establishing that when his leadership at DoD fails, it’ll be clear that GOP Senators knew, excused it, and they own it. Serious concerns about experience & judgment are literally being laughed off.

Reform supporters think they can change history. Some of them claiming that Cameron, Blair & Thatcher went to Presidential Inaugurations. They can’t produce any evidence, of course. It’s absolute twaddle. Either very gullible, stupid people or they are just shameless liars.

It was and is fundamentally bad politics for Kemi Badenoch to engage so forcefully in the row over historical child sexual exploitation
This argument, which Farage and Labour can lead on, just undermines her whole approach:

Who are Reform members?
- older
- not in London
- hostile to net zero (much more so than Tory members)
- economic Thatcherites (unlike the party’s target voters?)
- like leaders “stirring up a bit of controversy”.
