The Blue Labour right have become the Militant of 2025 - a tiny but hyperactive and densely networked sect working relentlessly to drag Labour towards their niche pursuits and away from the values and priorities of core Labour voters.

Absolutely no sympathy for Home Secretary from me. Home office has decided to renege on rules it previously made. It deserves every terrible headline and more.

When institutions fail, bad people amass unaccountable power. Most of the time, people who are both toxic enough to do this and ambitious enough to want to do this are....weird people. It's both.

The argument about his own schoolboy racism is: why are we applying contemporary social norms on racist slurs to the 1980s
But this comment trying to mitigate & defend the use of "chinky" is more: why can't we apply 1970s/80s norms [which he described as 2005 norms] to the 2020s

The fact that in both 2019 and 2024, the winning party did so with a set of manifesto promises that could not be kept and dissolved upon contact with actual office is something that as an industry we should be much more bothered by than we are.
