Matt_Ison @ison24.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Man, every time Justin Webb seems to hit barrel-scraping lows, he finds a way to surprise… Surely the argument he puts to Miliband here is in itself antisemitism? It’s ghastly to see Jewish critics of the actions of the Israeli government described as self-hating Jews. 040 4

Matt_Ison @ison24.bsky.social · 02/06/2025Blue Labour seem to have this notion that decent, hard-working people are soot-encrusted, semi-literate bigots and that the only way to combat Reform is to don its face, while offering essentially a 2010-15 austerity status quo rejected by Brexit.

Matt_Ison @ison24.bsky.social · 13/03/2025The cruelty is a feature, not a bug. Trump made this very clear in term 1 and it was either why people voted for him again, or it wasn't a big enough problem to deter voters. It was inevitable regardless, and so much of this could have been avoided if Biden had known when to walk away. 000 0
