Funny comments under the FT piece, but worth noting:
“Hard-left” is now used to mean “social democratic”, while “hard-right” and "populist" are the polite terms for “far-right”.
The linguistic drift tells its own story.

Sky News is platforming a guy who says he's from a Jewish Aston Villa supporters group, but it turns out that the guy a) isn't Jewish, b) the group doesn't exist, and c) he works for the right wing Henry Jackson Society, whose website says he 'specialises in disinformation'. Well, quite.

Let’s be clear: the government is failing to fend off hate campaigns by Britain’s utterly poisonous right wing press, so it is urging the public and journos to instead go after members of the public, for protesting against the annihilation of the Gaza Strip, as a diversion.

Blustery day, isn't it? Here's the National Grid: Live generation data. Wind and solar are generating 74.2% of our electricity. Gas is generating 13.1%. And yet our household electricity prices are pegged to... the volatile price of gas. Which is the basis on which the right attacks... renewables.

An unfortunate side effect of state debt rising is politicians/media assigning blame for market moves that are largely due to global factors. Like that mad few days in Jan when Reeves was apparently going to be fired because yields were up a lot everywhere.

Yields were up everywhere today. A little more here than elsewhere but the budget and global worries about debt are a bigger issue than Burnham.
