Best Of

Something’s gone wrong at the Guardian, there’s no Sunday Rawnsley, nor any Sunday Hardman, despite the recent local elections steering us toward the end of times.

They sold the Observer so no Observer stuff is on the website anymore.

So, duly corrected, your delayed Sunday Rawnsley, brought to you via a stunning sunny evening on the Isle of Skye, me and the dog gazing out over Loch Sligachan:

The Tories have yet to learn that you don’t beat Nigel Farage by trying to be a tribute act to him.

Remarking upon the risks of being mesmerised by Faragism, one veteran of the Blair and Brown cabinets says: “If we spend the next four years obsessing about losing, we’ll be petrified into a paralysis which will kill us.” One of the many problems with trying to contain Faragism by leaning into it is that this repels other kinds of folk. Polling suggests that for every 2024 voter that Labour has shed to Reform, it has lost two or three to the centrist Lib Dems and the leftist Greens. Many Labour MPs worry that No 10 is already so preoccupied with Reform-switchers that it appears oblivious to the voters jumping ship from the other side of Labour’s listing boat.

Before it is anything else, the Reform surge is a howl of fury with the state of things from voters who feel repeatedly let down by mainstream politicians. The answer to that is not to become more like Reform: it is to be more urgent and convincing about making reforms. Being the change that it promised to be is the only viable path to recuperation for Labour. The best antidote to the politics of grievance is good government. Team Starmer won’t deliver that if they allow Nigel Farage to live in their heads.

The problem with Labour trying to out-Reform Reform, is that Reform inclined voters like the cut of Farage's jib, as well as agreeing with him on policy, whilst they think Sir Keir is a wet blanket who instinctively stands for everything they hate, but is sucking up to them for votes.

He'd be better off tacking to the left

What problem do you and Max have with diversity? Do you just want to live in a land of pot bellied 'Englishmen' and women?

If it was that you wanted a 'closed shop' stopping better or harder working people taking your jobs i could just about understand it........

But reading your posts it's obviously not the problem. You simply want the place you live in to be populated by people who look and sound like you.

I'm not white and I have no problem with ethnic diversity. I have a problem with the government, Labour or Tory, mass importing people from cultures that are opposed to our own for no economic gain. An agency care worker making £23k per year that comes with 4 dependents will have a net contribution of -£15k once all of the welfare and education for dependent children is taken into account, we gain precisely zero from their presence in the country, indeed, it increases the burden of tax on the rest of us.

Who knows what we're missing....

Are you pleased about the new Lancashire councillor for Burnley Central? On the whole, I'd rather not see representation for the 'stop men and women mixing party'. Still: diversity, eh?
