Pretty sure that every one of them would have had the whip removed immediately by every Tory leader prior to Boris Johnson.

Why this level of abstraction? Why give yourself so much work to do explaining terms? Why not say things like “we’re going to make the world better and safer for women and girls and this is how we’re going to do it by xyz.”

I think it makes sense if the goal is to win clout in America and make money rather than gain votes in the uk

“Food insecurity” is bad because it’s cold and mechanical. If people talking about hunger can’t do it in a human way why should anyone listen? The right speaks to peoples emotions, the left are nearly always at this level of wonky abstraction that just gives you a headache.

Using plain language isn’t insulting. People know what a prisoner is, they know what a homeless person is. Inventing new terms for this - you’re just giving yourself more work to do and making it harder to communicate.

Lots of folks on here don’t understand that you need to talk to regular people using language they can understand.

They’d rather burn it down and own the ashes than have the other side build something better.

I was actually a paid subscriber in the early 2010s - it's where you went to find out what sensible conservatives were thinking. It's now howling mad. I wonder who their audience is. Does *anyone* read Alistair Heath and think - yes, this is a great take.

Trump and America would be better off if he played golf everyday and left the govt to experts. He’s such a self defeating dumbass.

This tells you it’s working. They hate having the mirror held up. It’s why the “weird” and “creepy” stuff was so effective.

This is true but when they can be arsed it’s great - Babylon Berlin is maybe the best tv series of recent times.

It’s only mainstream because you conceded the argument on asylum and immigration years ago. It’s shameful that you’re now in a position where you have to maintain that gutter racists have “legitimate concerns.” Same with trans rights and Palestine. The Labour Party is spineless.
