Indeed go back to first PMQs after Trump’s election last November and Badenoch’s fawning over Trump and using it to attack Starmer. She loves Trump. And had Starmer been more circumspect in his Trump dealings he would have another bludgeon to use against her. Alas yet another strategic blunder

Isn’t that the same line (ref Ukraine) Johnson tried as his own sleaze and corruption eroded his premiership? Why does the McSweeney camp keep deploying such failed Tory comms tactics? Starmer is hopeless and needs to go. Crisis or no crisis

Will point out 2 things:
1. about Jessop’s chart - it starts at Jan 2024 for a reason: the 6 months prior to that will also show regular declines under the Tories (we went into recession q3 and q4 2023)
2. Impact of interest rates - been far too high and lasted far too long.

For illustration, this is the IFS chart I’m talking about. Look at how dismally tiny Labour’s bars are. And now we are where we are

The US has got to put Supreme Court justices on trial too.
No backing off this time. This must not be allowed to happen again

Perhaps that is the least forgivable sin of all?

Yep but when Americans indulged their fascist fantasies and elected the criminal monster we were always going to end up here.
