This is nauseating: “As the emails stretch through the years, they show how that protected realm vanished into the mists of time, pulled under by the rising forces of the internet and the #MeToo movement.” A “Gone With the Wind” framing for sexual abuse and harassment.

Also: the far right is an entertainment franchise to the majority of its base. Labour's strategy would be like telling a generation raised on WWE and AEW that you're going to do *proper* Olympic-style wrestling, with no silly costumes or fake stories. Nobody wants that! They want to be entertained!
Appeasing the far-right gives the broader public the impression that their narrative is true. There is no way to stem support for Reform by endorsing their policies. Either you are fighting against them or you are, regardless of how you see yourself, fighting for them.

For every thousand left-of-centre ‘Trot’ voters Labour loses, they gain one cretinous right-wing streamer who hasn’t been relevant since 2017 and who will still interpret their gain as an advance for Labour’s primary electoral opponent. This is a genius political strategy.
This rancid trash understands the significance of Labour's anti-refugee policies.

In Germany, I developed a slight obsession with political stickers – and especially the unhinged pro-Israel stickers from the German left's creepy philosemitic neocons, the "anti-Germans" (the most German Germans). For @thediasporist.bsky.social, I wrote up some of the wildest examples

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."
