  • Agree with both points here but wrt. the possibility Kier lurching to the right I particularly agree. Left wing pals on whatsapp and folks online are being way too pessimistic about the prospects of the labour government not delivering left wing policies. Having played it safe during the campaign, Kier has a majority which gives him way more latitude to implement whatever policies make sense.

    I wish people could be able to take the W and enjoy it for one night without cynicism or pessimism.







  • Reform are peddling gutter politics but the BNP was explicitly a fascist party. You could argue that it’s a matter of semantics given that all the BNP vote has just switched over to Reform but “populist Tories” is a modest improvement over a party whose 1992 manifesto stated:

    Fascism was Italian. Nazism was German. We are British. We will do things our own way; we will not copy foreigners.
