How many times do we need to point this out? By appeasing the far right, you do not weaken it. You strengthen it. While weakening your own position. There's a vast amount of academic research showing this. But Labour will not listen. www.theguardian.com/law/2025/dec...

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social what I really struggle with is he must know this. He’s not daft. Yet he does it again and again…

On what evidence are you basing this wild claim that Starmer isn’t daft?

@rachel @georgemonbiot.bsky.social At some point you have to conclude that if it's not...

"Ignorant enough of history to believe you can appease the far right"

... then the remaining option is...

"Perfectly comfortable with far-right ideas"

@rachel @georgemonbiot.bsky.social What he says he is, and the "Labour" in his title are both false. What he DOES is true. (He obeys).

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social

Don't be angry at labour, social democrats, conservatives and (neo-)liberals here in Germany are doing the exact same thing.

My personal hypothesis is that they or their aides/consultants are too terminally online, but only on bot infested platform, so they have absolutely no idea how the populace actually thinks. Thanks, Putin, I guess.

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social I've said it before that Starmer's Labour government appears to be copying the tactics used by the Tories during the period of many Prime Ministers of chasing the far right in order to block out Nigel's various parties. I fully expect it to end just as well for Labour as it did for the Tories. The hope is that parties that aren't stupid get some representation, the fear is that includes Nigel's current lot.
