By appeasing the far right, you do not weaken it. You strengthen it.
While weakening your own position.
There's a vast amount of academic research showing this.

Being a British parent is so weird bc you're actually worried about paying the sky high rent/mortgage & getting GP appointments but the entire press keeps telling you you're worried there's a trans person or immigrant nearby & the vat on Eton means there'll only be two skiing holidays this year

Starmer’s anti-asylum policies show how utterly clueless he is about the right-wing media’s role in politics.
He’s trying to fix a “problem” contrived by Farage, GB News and The Telegraph. He’ll never win, because ultimately he’s fighting a ghost – he’s fighting something that doesn’t really exist

If Labour are willing to bin their manifesto pledges on tax rises, why not on Brexit?
That would win them far, far more votes than raising taxes ever will. Indeed, tax rises are likely to crater their weak support even further.
What's so magical about Brexit that it must remain untouchable?

If you think that black and brown faces in advertising is linked to "legitimate concerns" about mass migration, it does suggest that you think that all black and brown people are foreigners. Which, for a party whose current leader is black and whose previous leader was brown, is quite something.

I used to defend the BBC’s coverage until fairly recently. Election night 2024 was probably the point at which I snapped and could no longer avoid facing what it had become.
Nothing on the BBC Radio news this morning. Nothing I could find on their website. This is an MP from the party whose lead in the opinion polls normally ensures them wall-to-wall coverage. She spouts racist nonsense for which even she feels obliged to apologise. What on earth are they playing at?

I've sat through 18 months of analysis about how Arsenal lack freestylers, mavericks. Obviously it has some merit but I can't put myself in the headspace about where Eze plays.
He will play because he's a good player who offers Arsenal things they don't have. And he's fun. Football should be fun.
