The politics of prejudice & ignorance is always as unsustainable as it is intoxicating. The only question is how much damage it does before collapsing under the weight of its own idiocy. I think we’re still a long way from sanity. twitter.com/johnredwood/st…

This isn’t progress or grounds for hope. It’s reheated unicornism from the handful of ‘Brexiters’ close enough to reality to begin to realise what they’ve done. It’s just Rees-Mogg with a tiny conscience. twitter.com/thetimes/statu…

Just as the right-wing rhetoric of ‘champagne socialism’ + ‘politics of envy’ leaves precisely nobody able to criticise inequality in good faith, so ‘virtue signalling’ + ‘hypocrisy’ means no ‘liberal’ is able to object morally to anything. It’s all quite deliberate, of course.

Amazing how none of the people who insisted Brexit would be brilliant are taking any responsibility at all for it being rubbish. Arguably, even more amazing that people who knew it would be rubbish think they have to pretend it isn’t in order to get elected. What a sorry mess.

If anything, I’m slightly more baffled than annoyed that @Parcel2Go have managed to lose an actual armchair. Absolutely appalling service. I’d have a nice sit down to recover my equilibrium but they’ve lost my bloomin’ chair…
