RT by @Brendandonn: Education, particularly higher education, tends to increase the capacity for critical thinking of the person educated. As they used to say in Pravda, it is therefore “ no coincidence” that today’s Conservative Party is leery of this higher education business.

RT by @Brendandonn: Sometimes people have laughed and sniggered at me when I said I wanted the UK to rejoin the EU Some of them may even have been Labour supporters.I have nevertheless carried on saying that the UK should rejoin the EU. Does Lee Anderson think I am wrong to stick to my guns?

RT by @Brendandonn: It’s worse than that. His ignorant vulgarity is seen by many within the Conservative Party as a positive political asset. In a way that is both patronising and cynical, they hope such vulgarity will offer them a key to opening the hearts of working class voters.

RT by @Brendandonn: First, the Conservative Party tore itself apart over Europe and the consequence was Brexit. Then it tore itself apart over small boats and the consequence will be precisely nothing. The syndrome of tragedy followed by farce is historically a familiar one.

RT by @Brendandonn: In the weird universe of the current Conservative Party the fact that Starmer has written about Human Rights is greatly to his discredit. It means he wants foreign criminals and terrorists to be subsidised by hard-working taxpayers. That’s how far Sunak’s Party has sunk.

RT by @Brendandonn: Perhaps the House of Commons could vote to instruct Rwandan civil servants to continue implementing the deal regardless. It’s obviously the sort of thing people voted for in 2019.

RT by @Brendandonn: People who are sure that their own views are shared by most of their fellow citizens are often tempted to think that unless most of the BBC’s programming reflects their own views then these views are being unfairly censored. I recognise this temptation from personal experience.

RT by @Brendandonn: There are a fair number of Conservative MPs who know their Party has gone wildly off the rails, but they have neutered themselves politically through the lazy and opportunistic compromises they have made over many years to maintain their political careers.

RT by @Brendandonn: Sunak is pretending to believe in the Rwanda nonsense when he clearly doesn’t. His Party is divided between those who share his disbelief and those who think the policy can and should be made to work. All of current British politics is a reenactment of the absurdities of Brexit.

RT by @Brendandonn: Nothing better illustrates the dysfunction of the current Conservative Party than the support of One Nation Conservatives for Sunak. They may even be right that he is much better than the alternatives. It is however a shockingly unattractive choice they are making.

RT by @Brendandonn: That would be a genuine attempt to deal with a real problem. Sunak is only interested in creating an appearance of dealing with a fictitious problem. Brexit has so distorted British political life that it now revolves exclusively around finding non-solutions to non-problems.

RT by @Brendandonn: Damian Green said this evening on Sky News that it would be “rational” to support Sunak’s proposed Rwanda legislation. Even if he is correct in his analysis, he must know that on this matter the Conservative Party and rationality parted company long ago.

Sadiq Khan pulled his punches when speaking this week about Brexit. How long will the Labour truce on Europe last? See the new FedTrust video.

RT by @Brendandonn: So it only takes about 10% or less of voters to switch from Lib Dem’s and Greens to Labour and your collecting your P45?

Not sure I’d be publicising how little tactical voting is needed to get me out? Brave, but not very wise.

RT by @Brendandonn: Does the British justice system really have so much spare capacity that 150 judges can be spared to help a beleaguered PM try to placate his anyway implacable critics within his own party? The confusion of party and state interests is a disturbing tendency of this government.

RT by @Brendandonn: It may be overrating Sunak to describe him as “finding” a path. He is more like a cork tossed one way and another by competing waves. Every attempt he makes to strike out in one direction is rapidly reversed by the opposite elemental forces pressing down on him.
