This looks ridiculous written like this, doesn’t it? And can you believe this is all it took to do one of the most damaging acts ever in all of British history?

But you're NOT speaking to your grandmother. Because she's dead. So let's stop wasting our time on this nonsense. AI has its uses, but it's not Jesus raising up Lazarus and never will be. It's more akin to a psychic in a sparkly jacket.

Important piece by @hardeepmatharu.bsky.social on the new political environment, now obvious in the US but also becoming apparent in the UK.
With an established press still holding considerable influence over Britain's politicians (if not the public), in contrast to America, Starmer's approach seems too predicated on preventing a media backlash and too little focused on conveying simple but impactful messages that resonate with people - rather than just abstract concepts they have heard uttered many times, such as 'growth'.

Meanwhile, the right's media dominance through its ecosystem of traditional newspapers, new social media platforms, the likes of GB News, and more covert Facebook groups is ready and waiting. With no sign that Starmer is interested in press reform, the danger is he is held captive by the very forces he is trying to appease – until the time comes when they decide to hang him out to dry.

As Morgan McSweeney’s political mentor, Maurice Glasman, diehard Brexiter and founder of Blue Labour, is hugely influential. Blue Labour’s slogan: ‘family, faith and flag’ Glasman and McSweeney dictate Starmer’s ‘red lines’. There’s no long game. There’s only Brexit. Labour risks losing in 2029.
