Mostly shite. It only tracks surface level movement of the groups without dealing with their thinking. Yes the left moved into a different focus.... because deindustrialisation was a period of serious defeats for organised labour which was targetted and destroyed and people wanted to focus on the wins. Labour won by caving in to the rightwing economic arguments and so won favour of the heavily propagandised public while still offering the idea of change and improvement. To accept that today's multi demographic working class want representation rather than power and improving conditions is to accept that the only kind of feminism is liberal feminism, the only kind of anti racism is liberal anti racism, that only individuals can advance and that it's okay and principled if the rest of the demographic suffers in poverty so long as they now get ahead.

Basically it's a stealth way of saying that Blair was actually still a communist, Corbyn was an out of touch idiot rather than an inspiring symbol and that Labour need to respect the feelings of the fictionalized bigotted Leavers and the right wing talking heads who claim to represent their demographics.

I took the biggest mistake being an upside-down reading of Corbyn and the old-guard left's relationship with Momentum and the emerging generation of socialists.

Rises by the likes of Corbyn and Sanders don't represent some kind of old guard coup, rather they're the implements for a growing base of left-wing younger people who were disaffected and alienated by the broken promises of neoliberalism. Their analysis did nothing to explain how Corbyn became leader, or why he attracted a meme-producing fandom that he didn't really seem to understand, and it will similarly fail to understand the next person these electoral hopes coalesce around.

We're not waiting for a new New Labour turn to make paying lip service to a left-wing agenda "cool" again, we're searching for someone we can wield in a class conflict that's so stratified and entrenched it's practically taking on a generational character.

her husband is metallica's manager so i don't think she needs to worry about money too much

but didn't she walk into a fox news job after quitting as an MP? that didn't last long though

She got rich writing books before she became a politics whacko apparently

"Under her maiden name, Louise Bagshawe, she wrote in the chick lit fiction genre, publishing seventeen works which sold a total of over 2 million copies."

Also from 2001 in the guardian:

She now lives in New York (the setting for A Kept Woman ) with her American husband, Anthony - the model for the hero of A Kept Woman and owner of a real estate business. They are combining talents to invest the proceeds of her novels in apartments, which they then let out.

Fats Dominar is on the case


she found a grift niche, escalated continuously to keep ahead of similar competitors, then found herself stranded by the tide when mueller went nowhere. because her personal politics are somewhere around Reagan she has no interest in appealing to the democrats after their recent (minor, forced) moves left, and her unrelenting crankery about trump has alienated republicans, so her only constituency is people so terminally brainpoisoned by #russiagate conspiracies that they see GRU spooks in every ficus.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

I'm curious what the capitalist dismantling of the NHS will actually look like

my assumption is that a fully americanized system will take at least a decade or more to establish but you never know, the UK electorate has proven that they can be tricked into accepting just about anything if they get told it will somehow make germans mad at them
