It wasn’t the racism.
It wasn’t the rule breaking.

No Jenrick gets removed for plotting.
Politics for too many leaders is just a game, and not a moral one.
It’s why people are crying out for hope.

This is painful to watch
Govt minister Mike Tapp refuses to say that the US should not attack Denmark and Greenland.
Moments later he declares that sticking to international law is what we stand for as a country.

Jonn is correct here and the explanation is IMO pretty simple: crackdowns and racism Thatcherism is absolutely non-negotiable; our governing class will never permit any deviation from it, ever, so this is all that’s left until they finally lose the rag and decide it’s time for Farage and fascism.

I urge people to note that when they say “politics” they mean “continuing to enforce the Thatcherite consensus with a thin veneer of public consent”; that these things are the same thing, to them, and that a lot of very nasty people have big ideas about what must be done, if “politics is broken”.

The Harris campaign was the exact kind of campaign that reactionary centrists wanted, & it blew up in their faces spectacularly
Starmer's tenure as PM has exemplified the way reactionary centrists want a party to govern. It is also blowing up in their faces spectacularly.

My small take on the Labour deputy leadership election
Powell is very mediocre but she at least has some sympathy towards trans people
Plus her winning will have pissed off Starmer and his people which makes me happy :)
