Fine, but both times the Labour Right tried to make him lose. And they’re in charge now, determined that no one like Corbyn can ever take control again. This explains a lot of their politics. Basing this on Left Out by Pogrund / Maguire + podcasts with Paul Holden

Relentlessly lying to gain power means that whatever you say, there is a clip online of you saying the opposite

Reform as the final stage. No real end to austerity, just pure focus on enemies

If you see recent British politics as a way to manage unrest generated by austerity without empowering the left, it makes more sense. Brexit becomes an ersatz anti-austerity movement, Bojo an ersatz Corbyn, then Starmer a more desperate stage, having to just block the left bc the £ has run out.

But the key thing is that lots of donors and MPs and the media also agreed that Corbyn had to be got rid of and that Corbyn voters were appalling. This project actually had widespread buy-in. People knew that ie the 10 pledges would all be broken but thought that was good

The members voted for Corbyn - that’s why he actively tried to reduce the membership and change the leadership election rules so they could never do that again. By extension, its logical for the labour right to hate the woolly socialists who voted for him, and to seek a new electoral base…

There were a lot of floppy haired guys in their late 20s early 30s who would go on wistfully about Suede and my memory is that nobody cared

I think that’s right, and they appear to regard a Labour / Reform duopoly as a desirable outcome. They get to be the heroic US democrats, negatively defined against depraved opposition

You have a couple of good examples in Norway and Spain, both of which are working well (contrary to various scare stories). I think britain should start by imitating Spain’s ‘featherlight’ tax and go from there

Australia, Canada and the UK have higher rents, whereas France and Austria are a lot lower - doesn’t this explain the latitude govts have to tax the median worker?

I only learned about Al Mawasi because Hotovely declared it a safe zone. Isn’t this like the 5th time that Israel have bombed it?

Time has slowed down - we’re taking longer to move through the stages of life but also living longer so we can observe our lack of progress at leisure. Maybe something like Fisher’s ‘frenzied stasis’
