At least Burnham doesn’t pretend to care about growth

Unlike his predecessors, Britain’s prime minister is a fairly honest stagnation-ist

Now, what is interestin’ to me is you have two parties who know war will be devastating to them—and yet neither is willin’ to divulge the private information that would allow them to reach a negotiated agreement. Isn’t that puzzlin’?

A 94-year-old Jewish human rights barrister was among more than 80 people arrested outside the Labour Party conference in Liverpool while demonstrating in support of Palestine Action. The arrests came as Ed Miliband told critics of the government’s policy on Palestine: “We hear you. You were right"

The PM used his big speech to promise to fix Westminster's broken voting system.

We've heard promises before. I've signed to make sure this one is kept. It takes 30 seconds

(3)Streeting et al have acquiesced in Burnham's victory because their plan - lying Starmer into office- collapsed in ignominy and they realised they could not beat Burnham in a public fight because they are unlovable. But they have kept powerful roles and may (will imo) go for undermining instead

(1)Andy Burnham, Ed Miliband et al are talking like the Soft Left have won control of the Labour Party, but acting like Team Starmer's plan still largely holds, so they are vocally left wing, but are only acting through good-but-limited tweaks , with key Labour Right people in charge...

"Too often, centre-left governments force themselves into the role of defender of the status quo, taking the blame for failures that often aren't even their fault, being the one to explain why things are bad, instead of being the people making them better."

If you define the centre as the far right, then there's no far right problem in Europe. The more likely conclusion is unthinkable: that centrists like Rachman have actually radicalised into the far right.

The Italian left points to Meloni’s harsher policies on immigration and asylum as indications that she retains far-right instincts. But almost all European governments are now searching for ways to limit the flow of asylum seekers. This is a response to growing voter unease — so arguably an expression of democracy rather than its negation.

Le Pen has been moderating her party’s image for many years — shedding many of its more extreme policies and associations. In the process, she has broken with her own father, the founder of the party, and ditched plans to leave the European single currency.

The reason we need these reforms is because there is absolutely no reason to believe the right will come to their senses. It’s a question of institutional & electoral incentives, not political will

It’s not a panacea, but the fascists are getting 20-25% of the vote & aren’t dominating politics in multiparty systems. Also, Americans love to point to 🇮🇱 & 🇬🇧, which are two of the worst-designed parliamentary systems. Anyway, more & stronger parties are absolutely a bulwark against fascism.
