Something about “saying the quiet part out loud” that seems to be really working is how disarming it’s been of people pointing out what they’re doing.

Something I feel like is lost in a lot of analysis of contemporary western politics is the degree to which the "center-left" of W. Europe has ceased to be a meaningful entity. I think one could argue- probably correctly- that PSOE and Podemos are closer in ideology than are PSOE and Starmer's Labour
Home Office: How dare people say we are acting like the far-right?
Also the Home Office: These far-right graphics look great, let's copy them.

It just wasn't a big, newsworthy deal like, for instance, the college applications of a mayoral candidate to a school he didn't get into or attend.
To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015
