Not surprising to see that the failure of Blue Labour under Starmer hasn’t phased him. Probably hasn’t noticed.

Just when we needed No.10 to defend the BBC against the far Right. Really stepped up to the plate today, haven’t they?!

When the star player scores, the fan doesn’t say “Aren’t they great?!” The fan says “Aren’t I great.” Reflected glory. Similarly, Trump always has to succeed at everything so that the cultist can succeed. His servility morphs, in his head, into empowerment.

Wow. Having been excluded from the Rotunda during Trump’s second inauguration, Farage definitely wants an invite for the third.

Why did no one warn us about austerity?! Why did no one warn us about Brexit?!! Why did no one warn us that Johnson’s approach to Covid was damaging?!!! Why? Why? Why?

The task for the Greens is to show the increasing salience of climate change for basic needs (food costs, rents/mortgages, transport, etc.). In short, natural events aren’t these distant events happening someplace else. They are happening on your dinner table and in your bank account too.

Deportation, no doubt followed by the abolition of cities; since that seems to be another thing the far Right are afraid of.

The far Right is not exactly brimming with intellectuals. So those with any credibility (however flaky) are given a status they don’t deserve. Call it Jordan Peterson syndrome. ‘Legitimate ideas’ is cover for ‘legitimate concerns’.
