Towards the end of David Aaronovitch's hit piece on Zarah Sultana, he links to another op ed from The Independent, which exposes exactly the principles-free "centrism" he cleaves to;
"But what if that isn’t the choice by the time of the next election? What if, just as Reform has overtaken the Tories in the opinion polls, a Green-Corbynite combination overtakes Labour?"
#JohnRentoul, August, 2025
The Sultana-Corbyn party hasn't even launched yet and the Greens have already outstripped Labour.
Everything we know about the psychology of defeat tells us that the Tories will retreat into recrimination and magical thinking if they lose the election – paving the way for the party’s fringe to make hay while the sun sets on orthodoxy
