Dutifully Voted for the guy who said "There is no case for Rejoining the Single Market", whilst simultaneously convinced that it was the Stupidest thing ever said by a Politician in my lifetime.

You sound a lot more like someone who just doesn't like TB, than someone who knows what they're talking about, tbh.

Surely the Twitter Algorithm is now specifically designed to stop people who aren't Nazis from doing that ?

I doubt Blair has much to do with Putin, because he knows what a nasty piece of work Putin is, whereas Johnson just likes his money, and so is as corrupt as possible.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

Ditto the Libdems, my natural Party, - they’re just like a bunch of ‘confused Brexiters’ now, - they feel like they apparently don’t like Brexit, but they don’t want to necessarily rejoin any time soon, because that would be too embarrassing, difficult and complicated… (?)

Precisely, they seem to have a completely warped idea of the people they are trying to appeal to, as well as the amount of Bigotry that their normal supporters will put up with?

seen doing ‘something’, no matter how damaging to our economy or their support among the less bigoted voters in this Country ?

It’s the sort of completely cynical mentality that wins you a x00 seat majority on only 1/3rd of the vote ..

Either that, or they’re just completely mercenary and will simply say anything to anyone, in order to win their Vote ?

Immigration is a case in point, they don’t need all their multi-layered nastinesses to convince anyone that they’re anti-immigrant, they just feel the need to be

So why does Ed Davey say that Young Voters (and the rest of us !) can't have our Freedom of Movement back 'until the rest of our Immigration System is sorted out' ?

Why would any young Voter Vote for that 'Piece of String', 'of indeterminate length' ?

Mark, please can you tell me why the Libdems are being so 'Timid' and 'Complicated' about rejoining the Single Market, Customs Union, and eventually the EU itself ?

What is being gained by being so reluctant to say what so many people want you to say, ie 'We need to Rejoin the SM & CU, ASAP !" ?

A key point is that the relationship runs both ways. Russia has provided support to radical right parties but Putin's rhetoric and views have also been affected by radical right narratives.

New post just out:

The relationship between Russia and the European radical right goes well beyond Reform's Nathan Gill being bribed.

In this post I trace the history back to the 1990s and look at the threat it poses now.
