this has reminded me of the Earl of Arran's remarks about why his campaigning for the decriminalisation of homosexuality was more successful than his campaign to ban the hunting of badgers

Going back to 2019 the Greens made surprising strides westwards into chunks of Hove and Portslade (only to then lose them again in bin-related furores).

True true - Greens averaged about 5% of the vote in Hangleton last council election, but there's a chunky Labour vote that could potentially be flipped, and

I've always liked the Piece of Cheese Cottage in Hastings although I suspect it would be a nightmare to actually live in.

This five bedroom Regency townhouse in one of the poshest parts of central Brighton would not be eligible for the mansion tax by the way because it costs £1,800,000.

Yeah I remember when Ed Miliband was suggesting a mansion tax in 2015 & someone pointed out his house was worth about £2m and although it's a very nice house it's not a mansion. (To his credit he said yes & people like him should indeed pay more tax!)

Always makes me think of this paragraph from Alan Bennett in the LRB in 2015. Obviously the Govt being a combo of inept and often cruel isn't great but it's either delusional or naive to ignore that all feasible alternatives would be more cruel and more inept.

Starmer-ultras using the Peter Hitchens polling quote means that the discourse has finally hit the Hitchens-singularity. Previously the only example of genuine horseshoe-theory IRL were both the far-left & far-right approvingly sharing this image. We're through the looking glass here.

Locally we had *20 years* of no overall control and now we've finally got a majority council who actually seem to be getting things done. Only two years until everything collapses into infighting again.
