RT by @Brendandonn: I’m not sure Starmer is engaging here in “ clever” politics. Defending the RNLI is simply kicking the ball into an open goal. “Clever” politics would be for Starmer to reflect changing public opinion on Europe by advocating at the very least rejoining the EU’s Single Market.

RT by @Brendandonn: In the parallel universe inhabited by today’s Conservative Party there is always some lever to be pulled, some formula to be discovered, some strategy to be implemented that will avoid catastrophic defeat at the next GE. Like Brexit, this fantasy won’t work and could never work.

RT by @Brendandonn: In its long history the Conservative Party has rarely been as unpopular as it now is. The launch of a faction calling itself “Popular Conservatism” is based on the hope that if you talk about something loudly and long enough it will somehow come into being. It ain’t usually so.

RT by @Brendandonn: It used to be a reasonable conflation. Then Euroscepticism came along and turned the Party into a private universe of ideological fanatics.

RT by @Brendandonn: It’s also treating your political opponents like mugs. The DUP have political objections to various provisions of the Windsor Framework. Changing the name of these provisions and hoping they won’t notice that the provisions remain in force is unlikely to win them over.

RT by @Brendandonn: The trouble with the British approach to precedentalism is that too often British negotiators seem to think that a concession extended to someone else establishes a right for them to be treated at least as well. The EU rightly thinks it’s much more complicated than that.

RT by @Brendandonn: It’s laudable that the House of Lords is reflecting the will of the people before the House of Commons does.

The present government refuses to take responsibility for the failures of its central policy Brexit. So by a natural psychological extension its ends up not taking responsibility for any of its other failures either.

The Leave vote in 2016 was secured by an unnatural coalition of those who thought the EU was preventing socialist interventionism in the UK and those who thought it was preventing unfettered market capitalism. No wonder it has turned out to be a pig’s ear and dog’s dinner.

RT by @Brendandonn: We are also going to ensure apparently that by miracles of technology there is and is not at the same time a land border on the island of Ireland. Technology is the last refuge of the cakeists. It’s often their first refuge as well.

RT by @Brendandonn: Consistency was never a political value pursued by Brexiters. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday the EU was a nest of Socialist interventionists. On Tuesday and Thursday it was a coven of free market dogmatists. At the weekend it was both at the same time.

RT by @Brendandonn: Echoes of Brexit. Brexit was supposedly a huge success because it hasn’t yet entirely destroyed the British economy. Welsh steel-making has supposedly been saved by Sunak because only 3000 jobs have so far been lost. Note Sunak’s supercilious use of “by the way” by the way.

RT by @Brendandonn: Today’s British government thinks it can live in a political world of its own devising, untrammelled by outside actors. Brexit cannot bear very much reality.

RT by @Brendandonn: Sunak was boasting today that “thousands” of jobs had been saved by his government’s intervention. All British politicians infected by Brexit are condemned to look at the outside world through the wrong end of a cobwebby telescope.

RT by @Brendandonn: Sunak really had no choice if he wanted to remain leader of today’s Conservative Party. Business-like rationality and the Party had an acrimonious divorce some years ago. Sunak dare not present himself in any moderate or rational light to his party’s members and media courtiers.

RT by @Brendandonn: I was going to observe that his absence from the Rwanda debate was particularly troubling. But I thought it might not be obvious that I was being ironic. So I posted this instead.

RT by @Brendandonn: It’s the regular excellence of the blogs which is amazing. Some people can sometimes produce material as good. A few people can often produce material as good. But nobody is as consistently excellent as Chris. (Full disclosure: I think he should plug rejoining the EU more.)
