Politics as performance.

Hi @FraserNelson This conference was inspired by the comments you made on TV about the Tory conference last year. It would be good to get you involved...

@EdwardEGibbon This is a conversation worth having. You should come to the Carnival of Alternative Politics in Bournemouth in September...

@EdwardEGibbon All medics, dentists and engineers would be trained and paid for by their employers. They would do apprenticeships. You could use the same sites, but they wouldn't be universites.

@EdwardEGibbon It'll go back to 100,000 in HE as it was in early 60s. Not 3m as it is now.

@paulmasonnews And you'll learn even more from this one Paul.

@EdwardEGibbon Everyone will welcome the demise of the student loan system. We'll just have to find new ways of building communities of scholars.

Oil giants make super-profits from war. We get higher bills.

The government should cap prices, tax excess profits and take a larger public stake in energy — so it is run for people’s needs, not profiteers’ returns.

Rational control is habit-forming and prefers the unquestioning routine of average folk.

Totally fascinating clip. The 👀 that @Jonathan_Hinder gives Derbyshire, as she actively works to get him to describe ‘trans rights’ as a ‘middle class hobby horse’ - which would be quite a gotcha - followed by her disconcerted silence when he just says ‘men’ instead.

She knew exactly what he was thinking of, and he knew exactly what she was doing. But the work on renormalising natural language has paid off. A couple of years ago he would have had to say ‘trans’ in some form, or ‘gender’, to describe events. Now he can just say ‘men’ and the power of that language trickery drains away completely.

A very good piece from @nuntiatoria on the duty to debate. @TRobinsonNewEra @clivewright1969 @ruth_miesch @calvinrobinson @LozzaFox @NigelBiggar @Casey5122dark @DavQuinn @timcrowley_ @postgradafaf @StudentAFAF @LivingFreedomUK @DebatingMatters @agora_debate @samikshassotd

@dis_politics @EUSpeechwriters no, I don't think so.

[CarnivalofAlternativePolitics @TheCap2026]

Let's imagine an alternative future. We're organising the Adam Curtis Party Conference - a celebration of 10 years since Hypernormalisation - in Bournemouth on Saturday 12 September.
