It seems indisputable that this is fact, and that Burnham has read intelligence service documents that have details. The public question shouldn’t be ‘what effect did it have?’ Because that cant be proved or litigated. It should be ‘why did Putin think Russia’s interests would be served by this?’

If you add in £130m losses on “Reform TV” (aka GB News) the effective subsidy of Farage’s party from just four men tops £200m. You just have to join the dots app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/75017/...

Farage and the £130m even his detractors have missed

GB news has provided relentless positive PR for Nigel Farage while racking up tens of millions in financial losses. And now there is a new channel in the offing

That's a great phrase, populism killing the future. And we have to face up to the fact that social media is the fundamental factor driving populism. Because social media - and its influence on traditional media - is the only common feature to all countries where populism is rising.

If you totted up the sums for every financial scandal in British politics (£2k per parliamentary question for cash-for-questions, £200k for Johnson’s No 10 renovation, the cost of that very nice campervan) even with second tier stuff like Rayner and Polanski, would you get close to £5mn *in total*?

The electorate is polarised and attempts to triangulate via immigration haven't worked; the attempt to keep the US onside has lost votes; the red lines have restricted economic policies that might change outcomes. RIP MacSweeneyism.

If progressive, migration-liberal voters in Labour-held areas are so appalled by these tactics that they consider voting Green in a fuck-you to Reform - and because Polanski is a far more compelling anti-Farage than Starmer - than that is a good outcome for Reform. Such is the logic of FPTP.

It just blows my mind that in three years the UK is very likely to have a pro-Trump, anti-EU government that will pull out of the ECHR, abandon net zero, dismantle the independent judiciary, end broadcast impartiality laws and attempt mass deportations - for starters - and so few of us seem to care!

I don't think Starmer has any conception of the "teaching" role of the premiership: the responsibility (& opportunity) to talk to the public, to shape how they understand the world & the choices before them. All the most impactful PMs have been teachers. Starmer seems actively to repudiate the role

There's a lot of talk about rearmament and breaking US dependence. I understand the logic completely. But I wonder if people have fully absorbed the economic/consumption implications of serious rearmament, especially when we also consider the state of public opinion and the information environment.

Europe has - in technical terms - an absolute sod load of potential economic leverage over the United States. It has turned the other cheek due to security concerns. The US seems intent on demonstrating that it will not guarantee European security. So Europe may start using that leverage.
