Jem’s ability to just chat us through 100+ years of class realignments, the necessary conditions for founding the NHS, and the structural possibilities for radical change from the left today is genuinely amazing.

We’re not in the habit of recognizing celebrity deaths here at 925. That said, Dolly Parton is a national treasure and some folks here joke that Dolly is our Locals patron saint. After all her song “9 to 5” is our anthem. Today we remember all the love and kindness Dolly brought the world.

I don’t think it is exactly that. Their takeaway from Makerfield is that they can beat Reform from the (soft) left. I’m pretty sure they’re going to soften the sadistic elements of Mahmood’s agenda, at least rhetorically, while stressing economic populism. That wasn’t a Morgan’s plan.
