For my entire life, British politics, how it works, and what it accomplishes, has been in lockstep with the opinions of a handful of arsehole newspaper columnists. I think we can all agree that this has been a tremendous success and things are going great.

He’s so fucking radioactive he doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of winning a leadership contest voted on by dues-paying members; but we know the wider public is going to LOVE him so we’ll shithouse him into No. 10 and cruise to victory in 2029. A genius plan. Nothing can possibly go wrong.
“A coronation rather than a contest to install him as Labour leader”, you say.

A cursory, five second glance at that man’s twitter feed, at any given hour of the day because he never stops posting, would tell you he is the furthest thing from a credible witness. A headbanger’s headbanger.
Someone ask the judge what her reaction would be if she was on the receiving end of what Glinner did, *then* followed it up with that performance in court?
But of course we all know the answer anyway.

Probably worth asking why, on both sides of the Atlantic, journalism as a profession is so rotten to its core that Teen Vogue stood out for its hard-hitting political reporting in the first place.

Much like Hillsborough, you have to marvel at how Britain as a system is so utterly impervious to accountability: decades of orchestrated bullshit, legal shenanigans and institutional roadblocks, and then one final great rasping fart of “maybe it was elves that did it, and fuck you”.

Worth bearing in mind that The Times more than any other newspaper sets the tone for everything the current government does… and that’s going very well for everyone, isn’t it?

Whenever something like this comes up, I’m always reminded of Israel deliberately murdering British aid workers, and our government basically kicking their grieving families into the long grass.
They can’t stop harping on about what patriots they are, though.

If they didn’t blink at the IDF deliberately splattering three British ex-squaddies who were guarding an aid group convoy from a charity that has Barack Obama as a patron, then I’d guess they won’t give a fuck about activists they despise and are probably glad are far away.

Nothing says patriotism and Britishness like becoming a bunch of evangelical yank cunts
For those who take a niche interest in the Americanisation of UK rightwing politics, formerly Tory-linked student group Turning Point are increasingly going down the Charlie Kirk-type evangelical path.
