That's just shameless revisionism.

I'd still vote for half-arsed Labour if they still committed to nationalizing all utilities that don't provide a useful choice of provider or product (water, electricity, gas, train), he's just pandering blatantly to his donors and acting like my opinions on Labour are identical in 2020 and 2023 because I called him Keith.

Having to tailor them to pacify donors, newspaper owners, and your friends in the Lords is 99% of the reason for this:


The one thing that Telegraph article about how "we need a new fascist populist party" got right is that nobody in the wider populace wants the poo poo they're currently selling. It's not the 'hard left', it's that there are no Libertarians or rabid free marketers in any number, but there are plenty of hard hat old labour types, so the whole thing has turned into a circus act of yelling 'woke!' 'gender!' 'soft!' at one another while racing right to appease the business class.

That's an insane diagram. It's definition of authoritarianism must be utterly broken if it predicts that if Labour got several times more authoritarian than it did after Starmer took over, then it'd starting to appeal to Lib Dems' core vote.

It's based on Theodor Adorno's F-scale, so it's not like the internet political compass things where everyone above the line is an edgy channer cosplaying Rommel, it's more based on conventionalism, superstition and stereotypy, and ideas of power.

In the same way I wouldn't read it that everyone in the top left is some kind of racist national front skinhead (though that's usually where racist national front skinheads end up), it's that they're pro-NHS, pro public utilities, pro everyone who's willing to do a solid day's work being able to afford housing, but easily spooked by the smallest of boats, or have superstitious ideas about the purpose of 'nations'.

Also, importantly, based off of those who voted Lib Dem in 2019 rather than core Lib Dem voters, so that's going to include a lot of Tory Remainers who hated Boris but could not bring themselves to vote for that nation-hating communist Jeremiad Cobol, while a bunch of previously "Lib Dem because Labour did Iraq and is full of prohibitionists" voters presumably did so.

The problem with HS2 is it was sold as faster when it should be sold as extra capacity. Moving cross country trains to dedicated lines will also open up a bunch of capacity on the existing lines, as mixing cross-country and local is inefficient.

Exactly this. It's caused a lot of people to have the reaction "We're spending all this extra money to make the journey 20 minutes faster?!??!".

No. We're spending all this money because the West Coast Main Line is full... If you're building a new major rail line in a developed country these days, it'd be ridiculous to not make it a high speed line.

Hopefully Elon Musk will build a nonce voltron for him to command along with Andrew Tate, Tucker Carlson, Alan Sugar, and Piers Morgan, and then it will catch fire and crash into a mountain in Switzerland where Roman Polanski is hiking with Woody Allen.

It's one of those "worst person you know" moments, but Morgan is in the right here. oval office though he is, Brand has got the right to due process and he shouldn't be tried in the court of public opinion - especially if it might let him get away with it.

Was only 3 months ago Piers was blasting the BBC for keeping the identity of a potential sex pest secret, who turned out to be Hugh 'Nice arse' Edwards.
He wasn't calling innocent until proven guilty there.
