Badenoch on #R4Today claiming the Tories’ problems started with the Coalition when they “had to make compromises” and were perceived as “not proper Conservatives”. Cameron/Osbourne absolutely steamrollered the Lib Dems, got all they wanted, and left Clegg &c. as patsies. What is she on?

Most British people’s idea of the real crime rate is enormously out of whack with reality… but extreme politicians and rightwing newspapers have zero interest in enlightening them. This is a brilliant edition that you really should share with any Reform-curious or Daily-Mail-afflicted relatives.

Lots of talk of growth ahead of the Budget, as if it were a baroque puzzle. Our problem is basic. It's that we no longer support the things which facilitate growth: Europe, immigration, higher education, tax simplification, policy stability. These are all choices and could stop making them anytime.

Wide shot of the BRITISH MUSEUM. There are suggestions of fascism around the streets - tanks, barricades, an Orwellian 'Big Brother'-style poster on a wall. A voice of a TOUR GUIDE emanates from the museum:

TOUR GUIDE:
So the Tapestry tells acrucial chapter of our nation's history...

[Cut to interior of museum. A long Bayeaux-style TAPESTRY is on display, and the Tour Guide is speaking to a tour group]

TOUR GUIDE [smiling]:
How modern fascist Britain was created.

TOUR GUIDE:
The Tapestry begins here with the 2008 Crash, then austerity, then the AI Crash...

Here's the media saying the government have got to do something about the legitimate concerns...

No about brown people on boats

CHILD:

Are these boats the mega-dinghies?

TOUR GUIDE:
Not all of them

9
[we see one of the boats  is a giant yacht]
TOUR GUIDE:
That one's a superyacht,
carrying money from the American fascists to the British ones.

You see really it's as much a story of convergence as it is of conflict.

DING DING DING DING

It's time for the Two Minute Hate!

Spent a day in the "hell hole" that is London. My takeaways: 1. The Courtauld permanent collection is amazing. 2. The public transport system is marvellous (looking at you like this 😶 Bristol). 3. Tate Modern still keeps me interested after I don't know how many visits. Terrible place.
