Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell. Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass. That, right there, is the problem.

Years ago there was video of Tommy Robinson in Italy physically attacking a black African man who had gone there as a refugee, and now he is doing this. Someone yesterday asked “why is Farage so successful” and the answer no one seemed to want to give was “a lot of people are very, very racist”

I obviously think it's unstrategic to let yourself be negatively polarised into arguing that everything in the UK is hunky-dory, but it's undeniable that reactionaries are using doomerism to activate a lot of nasty shit in people. Optimism has to be part of the response to that.
