The Great Recrudescence: Farage, the Far-Right, and the Uses of History
The far-right doesn’t repeat history. It rhymes it — badly.
Farage, Reform UK, AfD, Wilders, Meloni: the old menace in new clothes.

Introducing “Lead” — the Antonym for Woke That You Didn’t Know You Needed
Sometimes you just can't be bothered unpacking what woke means to the credulous lead, so here's my counter neologism, lead.
Hope you find it useful!

Mark my words, unless @Keir_Starmer makes a public broadcast of scientists explaining the facts of the climate emergency to the public, it will be the thing that brings his govt down. What happened in Valencia will happen here, it's just a matter of time. We had a near miss with the record heatwave in 2022. If it had lasted for two weeks huge numbers would have died. We are in unprecedented times with no politicians stepping up to the moment. Wake up @Ed_Miliband@jessphillips@AngelaRayner@angelaeagle@DavidLammy PLEASE https://t.co/4F5FAV525d
"I understand why you're doing it but for heaven's sake...
...and then you see the scenes in Spain."
It's a relief to see @mrjamesob connecting the dots. So few journalists are. Direct action from ordinary people is needed more than ever to force those in power to act.
In 2017, Labour under Corbyn got over 3 million more votes than it did under Keir Starmer last night.
Don't let them pretend that agent Starmer is actually popular.
6 weeks ago, we had nothing.
Look at what we built, together.
I couldn’t be prouder to have campaigned alongside each and every one of you — for equality, peace and hope.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
@Voa1234 Legendary appearance on @bbcquestiontime. I stopped using Twatter, but had come back on to say this. You sound like a Bradford lad, but in any case. Big love man!
So the PM at the time (Johnson) and the current PM (Sunak) have both denied a public inquiry of seeing their What’s App messages by blatantly lying. This is the most devious and corrupt government we’ve ever had. They don’t even hide it. #sticktofootball
Reason I'd say it's news-worthy in itself is because we have to pay a licence for it and whilst supermarkets told us about self-checkouts coming, the BBC has decided to do this without letting us know. Feels all sorts of wrong. Hope their photographers were consulted at least
@BBCNews starting to use AI-generated images instead of those from photographers? News-worthy in itself?
Weird who this AI-gen person looks like, story and role. My missus didn't spot this until I explained how to look, and now it cannot be unseen.
