Oh the notion that the correct answer lies in some sort of middle ground between the "Left" and the "Right" -- how privileged and out of touch do you need to be to still believe that in 2024.

No. Noooo! This repellent, fundamentalist vandal and his hell-brood don’t get to rehabilitate themselves as comedy toffs for the delectation of clueless Yanks.

Let’s see how they do in a Scottish parliamentary election before posting their death notice. The huge squad of MPs sent to Westminster immediately after the 2014 referendum was a total aberration, and sustained only by the Brexit factor.

The only good thing about Trump is that he’s sent the Anglophone far right off at angles that will not and cannot gain the same traction outside the very specific USA context. These xenophobic idiots will ignore the relevant successful models (France, Italy), keeping them out of power indefinitely.

What's striking about this grid from JL Partners Polling earlier this month is just how little British people care about all the anti-woke moral panic bullshit despite how much of the discourse it constantly monopolises in every single nook and cranny of the UK press.

See also: Farage’s recent revisionism i.e. every prior project was intended only to register “protest votes” but now, NOW he’s serious; then fields an under-scrutinised legion of charisma-free pub bores, addled conspiracy theorists, goonish bully-boys, and brittle, braindead influencers.

Newsletter: Goldman Sachs has called BS on Generative AI, and I believe that it's time that everybody follows suit - generative AI is unreliable, unsustainable, requires an entire rebuild of America's power grid, and is most decidedly not the future.

I see we've reached the "famous artist credibly accused of sexual assault wasn't actually a great artist and you're a chump for liking him" phase. Consider that pretending terrible people can't make great art helps terrible people who make great art whedon their way into vulnerable communities.

The perception of an inevitable fascist victory in Europe is largely just the wishcasting of mainstream media publications saying that fascist victory is inevitable. See how the BBC spins National Rally's loss.

Indeed. A badly put phrase. I should have said continuing story i.e. NI post-Brexit, and its journey toward a settled SF majority and all that implies about its status within the UK.

As far as the future and shape of the UK is concerned, this is *the* story. The state once expended huge effort, treasure, and blood to render such things impossible.

Channel 4 have invited Nadine Dorries on. The fact that she’s accepted confirms my belief that she is a woman devoid of anything resembling self-respect or control. The plan, I assume, is to have her in a gunge tank by the end of the night.

This is where I have a small, boring bit of advice, from my time managing a customer contact centre for a central government department: write letters to your MP asking them to raise issues with secretaries of state; make the letters unique, not copy-and-paste campaigns; be direct, not cranky.
