#Keunssberg at it again putting a positive spin on the positive the Tories are in and posting a flattering Prime Ministerial image of her. The Tories are in a shit position but never let facts get in the way of presenting a positive image of the Tories

I’m a lot more sympathetic towards Ed Davey’s leadership of the Lib Dems than many but if they aren’t preparing a grand appeal to Greens appalled by the Zionism is Racism motion, they’re comatose.

You either bow down to the assumption that voters’ preferences are fixed or at least exogenous. Or you decide that they’re malleable and endogenous - and so prepare to make a political argument. Better, perhaps, to risk dying on your feet than live on your knees.
