So the UK Tories collapsed as predicted, and Le Pen abysmally failed to win power in France.
I repeat: There is nothing inevitable about the rise of the far right.
But there is every reason to fight.
The next time you hear mainstream media tell you the story of the inevitable rise of the far right, remember that they'll keep that story going despite the fact that the far right lost power in Poland last year and is about to collapse in Great Britain. It's one of those stories that seem fact resistant. This is not inevitable. Could we please include all the regular setbacks and collapses as well? #Politics #Media #FarRight

In one way I am grateful for the #Tories pivot to hating all young people with this #NationalService debacle.
At least it takes the heat off of trans people for a bit.
