They're desperately trying to figure out how many racist votes they need to pick up in order to ignore progressive votes.
The problem is that racists won't vote for them when Reform is **right there**. No one really likes Racism Lite when Original Flavour Racism is on the menu.

It makes sense when we realize the entirety of Labour's leadership is made up of people who's job description is "I'm not Jeremy Corbyn", they got their jobs by being Not Jeremy Corbyn, and they're intent signalling how Not Jeremy Corbyn they are
It's amazing how much a party can hate it's own base

Labour consultant: "The Greens are flanking us because we've ceded progressive policies and chased the racist vote!"
Another Labour consultant: "Oh no! We need to triple down on racism to make up the gap and appeal to Reform votes who'll never vote for us anyway!"

I'd add that this is why they're so hot for AI: they're hoping it can break their dependency on labour and allow them to live untethered from dependency on other people.

But the end of ZIRP and the rise of COVID meant that a) they couldn't just leverage debt and make huge returns, and b) they actually need poor people to buy things for the economy to work
The piercing of their Galtian bubble was psycologically damaging
They found out they weren't "I", they're "We"

I'd actually say it's not the money couldn't protect them, it's they found out they needed people
Before COVID, and especially before ZIRP ended, the rich had almost a quarter-century of getting richer without meaningfully interacting with or feeling dependent on other people
Their money just grew

In seriousness, he's right on about this: Labour is two parties, one of which is composed of decent people whi just want a reasonable world, the other composed of money-grubbing Blairites who really enjoyed being Important and Serious in the post-Thatcher era.

Khanna is the rep for Silicon Valley, the man stock trades more than most Americans make in a decade and he's been trying to rehab Musk (in the files), Thiel (in the files) and others.
I don't disagree, but Khanna and /especially/ his donors are in this up their eyeballs.
