Its the classic cold war problem of having to be buddies with unsavory people so that they dont become buddies with even worse people.

Saudi defense spending going to Britain is much much better than Saudi defense spending going to Russia.

Wait, they were shocked the incumbent PM was seen as establishment when running against a guy who had been on the fringes for his entire career up to 2015?

It's amazing how much savvier his wife is than him. Especially when she's best remembered for the time she took a selfie with Obama at that Mandela memorial after he died.

I get the distinct feeling that they shot all that footage with a different outcome in mind and had to do a lot of editing to reframe the narrative after the election.

While their origins lie in the ice caves of the Urals, modern Finns have adopted the bog as their new sanctuary.

This is a pretty good article just ripping into Kinnock:

Stephen Kinnock is a kind of political Matt Dawson, absolutely unsure of anything at all beyond a dimly concealed hunch that he is probably quite a bit of a legend

Just watched the documentary, this article sums it and its highlights up pretty well. Kind of amazing to me as a Dane to see our former prime minister portrayed as the shrewd political operator, since that's hardly the image she projected at home. Guess things weren't as rotten in the state of Denmark as they were on the Paedo Isles.

but since we are small we may-
uh, we may be the losers
Best part is the end of the doc when, after an hour where we saw that Kinnock's version of campaigning is telling everyone who will listen that Labour are poo poo but he's brilliant and Momentum's version is sending activists to nearby constituencies where they can make an impact, regardless of how aligned they are with the local MP's politics, Kinnock turns around and tries to make out that he's some sort of invaluable intermediary between the party's factions.
