Labour blocking Andy Burnham isn’t “discipline”.
It’s fear of democracy without a script.
You don’t beat populism by centralising power — you beat it by earning trust.

Project 2025 stopped being a theory. It became a blueprint in motion. Courts bent. Regulators gutted. Norms are treated as optional. This wasn’t incompetence — it was a hostile takeover. #project2025

Tariffs weren’t about workers. “Liberation Day” wasn’t liberation. It was debt denial, economic cosplay, and nationalist theatre — paid for by consumers while elites hedge offshore.

Europe’s big lesson of the year: staying loyal to an abusive partner doesn’t earn respect — it invites contempt. Macron confronted. Starmer accommodated. Only one of those slowed the damage.

Gaza, Ukraine, Greenland, tariffs, courts, constitutions — every crisis revealed the same thing: power without restraint. Trump treats the world like a property deal. Lives, borders, laws? Just negotiating chips

Throughout it all, one constant: critics were told to shut up “for the greater good”. As if accountability is sabotage. As if demanding better equals backing the far right. It doesn’t. It never did. https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/labour/2026/01/labour-must-confront-capitalism-once-again

Democracy survives when ordinary people refuse to look away.
Let’s stay loud, curious, and impossible to gaslight. ✨
