It's remarkable that a woman can complain about free speech in Britain while supporting execution for blasphemy in Saudi Arabia.

This might be one of those paradox of tolerance situations.

Note to elements of the British Right:

Relentlessly broadcasting how awful your country is to the rest of the world is not patriotic. It’s the opposite, and it has real-world results.

Twitter-brained right wing politicians from America to Israel to Argentina lap it up, with all its declinist hyperbole, and eventually use it to move against us.

They may say that they love the old country and want to help you “save” it but ultimately they will act in the interests of their country, not ours.

If you hadn’t realised this yet, look at what has happened with Javier Milei: using “decline” rhetoric that could have been lifted from this website as a pretext to retake the Falkland Islands. All with the apparent blessing of American Republicans.

These people are not your friends!

You really think it’s as clear cut as that? Sure Cambridge have questions to answer. But this became obsessive and ugly bloodsport for certain sections of the press, that was about way more than plagiarism.

“Will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency”

What about the trust of the people of Manchester, who he promised to serve a third term as mayor? They now get a £4m by-election?

All this smacks of voters used to serve politicians, not vice-versa.
