Without being overly cynical, Reform supporters already said they didn't care about the £5 million bung from Harborne, and that even if it was shady, good, because 'whatever it takes' to get Farage in power. Far-right politics thrives on incoherent exceptionalism which it demands and creates.

The right is ignoring their own material concerns in favour of political entertainment: Brexit being the best example. It was unambiguously bad materially, but it felt good to give some imaginary effete liberal in Brussels a black eye. Climate change is another big one.

Sure, though for the past 3 decades (?) the idea of a national culture has p much been undermined by successive governments : cuts to arts funding, walling off access to creative industries to the richest in society, making the UK incredibly difficult to be a creative worker etc.

The anti-genocide protests are not made against the Jewish community. They're not even made against Israel per se. They are primarily against *our own government*, and it's complicity in the genocide being carried out by the Israeli state. The home secretary's remarks should be seen in that context.
