This is also the potential tragedy of the United Kingdom
The great tragedy of Eastern Europe was that ethnonationalists looked at these diverse societies, proclaimed them to be impossible, and then worked to make these sordid proclamations a reality.
It is obviously affirmatively possible to have multiethnic and multireligious states in Eastern Europe, because they exist. All of them are in fact multiethnic and multireligious. Sometimes, percentagewise, actually moreso than certain Western countries.

The fundamental political-economy for the government is that is objectively implementing a soft left economic policy on speed whilst being hated by lots of left leaning people because of its other policies and rhetoric.

To add to this - it's not like the public is being well served by broadcast news moving at the pace of 24 hour scrolling and the politically obsessed - it just means every election large numbers of people end up googling 'what is austerity?' 'What is brownfield?' etc. etc.
This is bizarre. Like the editor of the guardian or mail or any other paper complaining repeatedly about the front page lead they decided to run with.
Very good example of what's wrong with broadcast news - they've given up deciding for themselves what is or isn't news and what the priorities are

It’s a sign of how insane the news cycle is these days that this historic failure of government policy got just one day of news coverage this week.
Not saying that’s right or wrong, but it’s astonishing how quickly the agenda moves on these days.

The "they can't pick a man who lost in 2015" crowd are missing several factors. Demography has tilted a big chunk of the electorate in the 10 years since, and dramatic events have shifted the political playing field entirely. Miliband has also had ten years more to learn

This. My personal feeling is it will be someone we're largely not thinking about but of the obvious candidates Miliband is most likely.
No one else has the mix of internal support, parliamentary organisation, ministerial record and broad popularity. No groundswell but most likely.

Miliband as next PM continues to be really under-priced
Nov 18th - Nov 20th polling of Labour members on hypothetical leader contests if Starmer stood
Current leader loses by 26%, ties, and wins by 16-18% & even 34%
Starmer does best (+34) 50-16 against his new Home Secretary in a poll held as her asylum reforms were leading the news on Nov 17th
