It's tough to continue having a culture war when you've already declared victory.

I appreciate this is bad but it's hardly a big departure from recent US behaviour. Obama was very big on extra judicial executions. Drone strikes he authorised resulted in thousands of deaths (mostly not the intended targets) including hundreds of children and they neither began or ended with him.

I am of course inclined to focus on the weapon's grade levels of inhumanity, cruelty, discrimination and racism involved in Labour's current policies, but on a purely practical level, they will utterly cripple the country, trash higher ed, the NHS, business etc, meaning everyone suffers.

Is a leadership campaign on the offing by any chance? Time to start lying furiously about what you'll do when you're leader (the Starmer method) so one or two members of the party outside of parliament will vote for you.

What is the plan for the long term storage of long half life radioactive waste? It's just left lying around by reactors at the moment. If you want to start building reactors everywhere you need to make proper deep storage facilities. I see no prospect of this, it will just pile up beside reactors.

With Trump adjacent people like Robbie Gibb at the top of the BBC, who likely want Trump to win or at the very least for the BBC to admit to some fictional left wing bias, pushing for surrender the BBC might is not even fight that hard.
