I do find it pretty depressing that it is not Gaza that is causing a real, terminal crisis of identity in this party but whether or not the self-evidently not senile old man can do campaign events

You gotta read this fantastic reportage from Luke. I hate so much that the Proud Boys started in Canada, and I'm PROUD we have designated them as a terrorist organization. And Shopify can get fucked.

polite disagree - Starmer (34%) barely beat Corbyn's 2019 vote share (32%), and was well under his 2017 score (40%) -- it was IMHO the right wing vote split & SNP meltdown that gave him the win.

worst lesson of dropping Corbyn for Starmer: that the right shift won their landslide... not the Tories & SNP melting down and letting Labour win a 1st past the post monstrosity.

I'd counter, politely that it takes little effort to be rude, as it's often a knee-jerk reaction. Being kind and decent takes will and self-control, especially on social media.

I argued in Foreign Policy magazine two months ago that pursuing a vague program of Arab-Israeli securitization over actually resolving the Palestinian question will blow up in America's face, and rightly so. I also lay out some steps for what Biden, or his successor, should do instead.

Honestly they're doing him a favour. Let the old man resign with a term under his belt and hand off to a black woman -- which is literally what he leaked to the press as his plan in 2019.
