Last season's Europa League final vibes

Yeah, there is certainly a degree of poetic justice that many of the most vehement ChUK haters are now getting to experience the joys of trying to set up a brand new party from scratch and discovering that actually, its not all that easy

Younger family members in this case meant young relative to me 🥲

Yes, that certainly applies to the next generation, I was thinking that even for people who were Corbyn enthusiasts he has gone a bit stale

My best guess is a combination of elite echo-chamber radicalisation and opposition-brain, i.e. an inability to take a more strategic perspective on an issue over and above the easiest course of action in the moment, in this case BBC-bashing

I see this also chimes with @samfr.bsky.social assessment

Obviously there are some constituencies that YP might be able to reach, i.e. the less socially liberal constituencies where 'Gaza independents' did well but beyond that they're very mush fishing in the same pond

Also some anecdata - my younger family members who were all aboard the Corbyn train are currently more enthusiastic about the Greens and Zach Polanski, sense is that Corbyn did his best and time to move on

Said it before but it never ceases to astound me just how hollow all the 'sovereignty, national pride, take back control' rhetoric turned out to be shorn of its partisan dimension

Farage likes to style himself as a bold truth speaker, 'you might not like it but he'll always give it to you straight', but when he is on uncomfortable terrain he resorts to the usual political word salad plus just with extra belligerence towards the interviewer

Its important to force Trump's UK acolytes out from hiding behind bullshit contrivance and get them to actually argue their case from first principles

@lewisgoodall.com nails it here

Tyler Durden voice: Is that what a real man looks like?

You've met my mum?

I assume its more 'fresh off the boat' as that would fit better with the wider context of the tweet

Nothing screams masculinity to me like getting your eyelids 'rejuvenated'
