Re: Labour Leadership – The Betting Value’s With Rayner and Miliband – politicalbetting.com
It started a bit ago in the USA. How's that project getting on by the way?He reminds me of a British Bardella, but smarterAcademic turned formidable polemicist. Of the sort that can turn terrible; when someone who is clever enough to see the strength, depth and width, and the weakness, shallowness and narrowness of a range of arguments then turns his attention to the strong points of a narrow range with precision fact selection. Which is exactly what he now does very well, better on the whole SFAICS than any of the Trumpians over the pond.He and Jenrick have both "been on a journey".. to be fair, I went from being an idealistic lefty as a teenager to a UKIP member in my thirties, so I am in no position to question their authenticity. When I saw Jenrick's press conference last week it came to mind that he and Goodwin have a similar way of speaking, a kind of overbite perhaps?Goodwin used to be in the organisation "Hope not Hate" ..🤨 I wonder why no-one in the mainstream media picks up on his seemingly Damascene conversion..🧐😏Seems to be on a JD Vance type trajectory. Just what we need.Impressively smart man. Would make a good minister@jaheale.bsky.socialSolid media performer. Stands a good chance

New: Reform UK unveil Matt Goodwin as their candidate for Denton and Gorton
Fair play to Farage, he’s done his homework this time and recruiting genuine talent
Only problem, Goodwin needs to win and this isn’t natural Reform territory. Hmm
A dangerous man IMHO.
This is a good thing. The populist right must triumph everywhere and wreak great vengeance on the traitors

The guy now in charge is a loyal Trump stooge. And the very act of changing the name was itself as breach of the law as only Congress is allowed to approve a name change. So yes that pretty much indicates a change in values.@washingtonpost.comDoes anyone know if the values of the place have changed?
Breaking news: Composer Philip Glass withdrew his highly anticipated Symphony No. 15 from its scheduled Kennedy Center performance, saying “the values of the Kennedy Center today are in direct conflict with the message of the Symphony.”

The name doesn't matter really, although if I was Glass I'd probably not want my work to premier in a Trump labelled place, and mostly that'd be about the ghastly commercialism rather than the politics.

@washingtonpost.comInstead, they plan to substitute 4′33″.

New: Canadian PM Mark Carney dismissed the idea he “walked back” his statements in Davos during a call with President Trump. “To be absolutely clear, and I said this to the president: I meant what I said in Davos," Carney
told the CBC before a cabinet meeting. Carney added that “Canada was the first country to understand the change in US trade policy that he had initiated – and we’re responding to that.”

All over in Colombo. Rathnayake last man out after an excellent effort. England win the series, though 2-1.
