I try to avoid echo chambers and take into account govenance means governing over the stupid or ideologically right wing.
So I tried for years to find the hidden gems of the "nominally left" as they pander to Farage.
This is the nail in the coffin he should just fuck off to the Blair Institute now.

Perfect analysis of Rory's biases as he tells THE expert with THE strongest trading track record that maybe his "class anger" (evidenced by his accent and background rather than substance) is "confusing" him.

I've been Labour my whole adult life, but I can't disagree with this.
Reform are indistinguishable from the National Front in 1995. And Labour are indistinguishable from Tories in 1995.
That's not a progressive option. That's the other thing. It's complicity when we need radicalism. It's failure.

I may have gone a bit too hard at James O'Brien.
But the constant begging the question of @lbc.co.uk is getting so tedious.
They're still doing Kamala campaign style "Who are these right wing figures beneath our coverage" style thing with a side of "Oh the lefts taking it too far again"

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.
