If the strategy was bad, then they have brought Labour to the brink of death and been the best thing to happen to British racism in half a century for....what, exactly?
This might be the final nail in the coffin when it comes to my faith in Keir Starmer.
One thing Trump has proven is that when push comes to shove the state can basically do whatever it wants. Remember that the next time someone tries to argue the state's limitations when it comes to doing something about massive scale tax evasion, infrastructure investment and tackling inequality
Probably because it is frequently cited by the far right to dismiss Nazi comparisons

It's fairly obvious that BBC didn't edit out the N-word in the BAFTAs to prepare us for a Reform government, where Cabinet members will be saying it every other week.
I'm sorry but it's absolutely wild to get to 2026 after a whole decade of this, being roared along by the press, and suddenly discover that it was a bad idea.
I'm shocked to learn that Keir Starmer had a Director of Communications in the first place...
In the UK you can have vague left wing flirtations with a nasty reactionary underbelly or you can have a genuine commitment to wealth redistribution but it comes with the insistence that Israel is the most evil country ever and weird Pro-Putin vibes. Those are the only two lefty options apparently.
While I applaud the @theguardian.com in general and for headlines like this, particularly compared to our increasingly corporatized and toothless mass media, it continues to amaze me how hard it is for them to say "lies."
Labour actually taking steps to combat the cherry-picking right wing media?? It's a Christmas miracle!
It's what social media once was and what it should be again!
"The football was on and he was a bit pissed" is quite possibly the worst response I've ever heard to an incident like this. It really does expose the level of laziness Reform is able to get away with when it comes to the press...
Since 2011 Wales has officially been listed as a country of the UK rather than a principality.
BECAUSE THERE WERE SEVERE LABOUR SHORTAGES, RUPERT. READ JUST ONE HISTORICAL PIECE OF TEXT ON THE SUBJECT FFS
The Left really deserves better...
You're* before anyone sweeps in
"I'm voting for Your Party"
"My party?"
"No, Your Party"
"What party?"
"Your Party"
"Your voting the party that I'm voting for?"
"No I'm voting for Your Party"
CLOWNS.
Sir Robbie Gibb's role in the BBC boardroom - to kill the BBC off.
Iβm often critical of the BBC about them platforming Reform and their constant reliance on what they believe is βbalanceβ BUT the politicising of the Board with people like Gibb needs to be addressed. Get him out.
Although as long as Robbie Gibb is still there it'll still be hopelessly biased toward the Right.
Alright now can the BBC hire a Director General who ISN'T a card carrying Tory?
Reform very unhappy with the coverage they got from Welsh media. The message is clear: the far-right can only succeed when they enjoy the fawning treatment that English media provide.
She rightly targeted billionaires but Billie Eillish donating millions to charities also places a spotlight on the international celebrities who talk a big game on fixing the world's problems but you know...don't do anything
The BBC thinks this worthy of its news homepage, but Iβm still not seeing much about Reformβs financial relationship with Russia. If we had a serious media we might not collectively drunkenly stagger from one idiocy to the next.
This is why the left can't have nice things. For ONCE can we please have a political figure who endorses radical wealth redistribution but doesn't have the old "West=Bad let's cut Putin some slack" mental affliction?
"I haven't said that"... Reform love them some gaslighting...
BBC may as well have made the headline "Nigel Farage is right about everything"
Our media:
Tony Blair met with Epstein 6 years before he was known to be a pedophile. Full coverage.
Nathan Gill admits to 8 counts of treason last week. Silence.
Farage is rather obviously being protected by the media.
It's going to take more than just Byline Times and Private Eye to really open it up. And it's pretty damn shaming to the craft of journalism.
