It always feels like a media beat up, but after decades of watching this stuff it's almost always the last gasp of a dying administration.
I don't know if it's the media just pulling on threads, or the momentum was already unstoppable, but either way at this point Starmer is a dead PM walking.

A lot of people have observed that the Democrats’ deep unpopularity comes from the fact that absolutely everyone wants to complain about them and nobody wants to defend them.
This is true, but a lot of THAT dynamic comes from the fact that Dems are regularly punching their supporters in the face!

This vote will probably get little coverage from a mainstream media who still prefers to frame politics and policy as conflict between the major parties.
But this Labor/LNP stitch-up to deny scrutiny of #AUKUS is hugely irresponsible and dangerous.
And flags a US sycophancy unity ticket. #auspol

Our 249-year-old system -- two-party presidentialism -- has sometimes worked in spite of itself due to favorable conditions, un-codified norms, & a few periodic fixes.
That run is clearly over. I argue below that we need a multiparty democracy with the legislature supreme and a limited executive.
