It’s almost like traditional Labour voters: workers, the youth, the poor, the elderly aren’t exactly impressed with labours drive to make life in the uk worse for all the above sectors of society and see his spineless grovelling to Reform voters and transphobes for exactly what it is.

Typically I don't engage with libs on politics because we're using entirely different lenses of analysis.

But in the past year people in my life have gone from asking me why I'm not voting for labour in the general election, to asking me to explain why I knew labour would be so bad, to asking me to explain Ibrahim Traoré and the Sahel to them because they like his reforms(?!??).

People want something to believe in.

asking me to explain why I knew labour would be so bad

i know it's shallow, but i love these moments. not for my ego, but because it gives me an excuse to be like "well they call it the immortal science for a reason 🤓"

I said a year ago that labour was going to be so dreadful there we'd see a surge in Reform.

Now that that's come to pass, friends asking me what's going to happen next and all I can say is I don't know - I just hope we'll all be ok.
