Labour won a big majority, squandered it on austerity and pivoting to the right on social issues, and is now losing to the far right. Let this be a lesson to Democrats in the USA.

🙊New from me in the Atlantic: the U.S. government now runs on Twitter Files logic When Elon Musk bought Twitter, he pushed the Twitter Files—decontextualized emails that spun routine moderation decisions as censorship. They fed the audience a simple but misleading story: the govt was silencing them
Musk's interventions in public policy are governed by the same logic he used in 2022 when publicizing the so-called Twitter Files.
His handpicked authors wrote serialized installments, in the form of winding Twitter threads and Substack posts, that drew on leaked internal documents from the social-
media platform. Musk hyped them as evidence that tech executives had colluded with powerful institutions to suppress conservative speech and manipulate the national discourse. "Government paid
Twitter millions of dollars to censor info from the public," Musk insisted, a claim later refuted by his own corporate lawyers.These were soap operas for conspiracy buffs.
The leaks of internal emails, Slack chats, and other documents transformed mundane
corporate processes and communications into sinister conspiracies, elevating routine policy debates into moments of high drama. The Twitter Files writers, I should note, gave this treatment to projects my former team at the Stanford Internet Observatory had worked on jointly with Twitter; at one point, the writers advanced the theory that I was a secret CIA plant.
The Twitter Files sought to find evidence to support the preexisting right-wing belief that the government was secretly in cahoots with Big Tech. Ironically, Big Tech has now quite demonstrably gotten into bed with the government. Last year, Musk became the largest donor to the Trump campaign, buying his way into political power like no tech CEO had before him. After Trump won, he put Musk in charge of the Department of Government Efficiency, whose acronym refers
