Remembering the look of disappointment that crossed Josh Glancy's face when I answered "London" to his "Where were you born?" question and the 'why are you not more grateful to this country that has given you so much' strand of his dishonest hatchet job fell away.
🧵In today’s Times @joshglancy.bsky.social has a brilliant write up of our focus groups he sat in on. Definitely read it in full! But I want to focus on two voters: Kylie & Eve I think have outsized importance in explaining today’s politics

1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.
