I think (this is not HUGELY evidence-based) that people who watch political interviews on normo tv aren't his audience. Kids on tiktok are. That kind of media savvy.

Sadly, Suella Braverman holds her seat. This is looking like a DEEPLY Tory group of Tory MPs left standing; tempting to say the worst of their party. Another leadership bid in the offing...

While I’m sure some of this “we’re doomed” is spoken earnestly, I think a lot of people ascribe to doomerism because they feel like it’s the only way to get people motivated, when in reality it has the opposite effect.
