What you're seeing is the perils of adopting a rhetorically maximalist position that's too humiliating to climb down from. People are bending over backwards to contort what's in front of them so they were right all along and it turns out it makes all of you look very very stupid.

All I can say is, if you're a working person earning less than £71k who honesly believes benefit claimants are earning that much, quit your job. Go on. What could go wrong?

I wish this was an exaggeration, but it isn’t. They appear to have actively worked to block their purported allies being granted asylum, so they couldn’t be called to give evidence in Britain.
The British government and forces left their local translators and interpreters to be killed by the Taliban so they couldn't give evidence in any war-crimes trials

"Opposition Party's bureaucracy deliberately loses multiple elections and coordinates with media figures to deligitimise their leader" is the kind of lurid fantasy most centrist melts imagine about Russian or Turkish opposition parties, but as always the call is coming from inside the house.

I'm sure this is fine. Nothing to worry about. Move along now.
And now that Trump is going to let the Broligarchs have their own plutonium to make their own weapons against us, it seems history is repeating itself. Racist Murderous Father, Racist Murderous son.

Hear me out: the people with loads of money should have much less of it and the people with hardly any money should have some more. Sorry to get all Karl Marx Lenin Stalin on your timelines so early but I had to say it.

A landlord on the Today programme just described landlords as “a race of people who are being targeted”. Parasites playing as victims.

Phil's analysis here is spot on. These people have no real feeling for the political leanings of the British public any more than "the rest is politics" podcast rubes.
They deal in gutter racism and bigotry.

Why do you think they’ve laid waste to the postwar international system? They’ve done it because if it still had any force, then the most important leaders in numerous white person countries would soon be serving decades in jail for knowingly abetting war crimes.

I could see the real consequences of giving artificial weight to the, clearly strongly held, but misguided, opinions of this veteran. The misuse of his opinions by malign actors is a danger we must be wary of.

Friend trying to buy house from someone who seems to have the astonishing belief that he is entitled to a bigger, better house in a different neighbourhood but my friend should pay for it. It’s all utterly perverse but we’ve somehow all been brainwashed into believing this is how it must be.
