@hoshi_aa I got the chance to play a gig in the castle in Akhaltsikhe for a scheme called Newcastles of the world. It's a lovely place with a great castle. Georgia is a wonderful country I'd love to go back one day!

To understand how superficial this Labour win is you only need to zoom out.

After 14 years in office, the Tories are truly spent. They have nothing to offer. Redolent of Blair’s win in 1997, a well-fed show pig would have won.

But party backers and strategists understand the importance of breaks in power that allow for party consolidation and reinvention — but only provided that power doesn’t fall to candidates that will challenge the status quo during those breaks.

The Tories were going to eventually lose — this is the perfect time, for them, to do so.

In practice, the Tories handing the reins to a Labour Party that broadly supports all the same policies is a win for those the Tories represent — the ruling class. They know that eventually us plebs have to see a term or two under a different government to appease us, but they know Starmer won’t challenge their wealth and power and privilege during this period.

In fact, they’re so chuffed that Starmer is their man, versus someone like Corbyn who’d have taxed the shit out of them to help reduce inequality, that they’re out in their droves supporting him.

And so it goes: the veneer of democracy is upheld while nothing material will change.

So, no, this is not a win for the common person; on the contrary, it’s a win for those who oppress us. And anyone celebrating this is a useful idiot, naively greasing the wheels of our shared exploitation.
