Kojo Koram reports on how resistance to US consumerism and its vulgarities "has now almost entirely disappeared, especially within the British right, which, in the age of social media, has been only too happy to embrace the language, the tactics and the grievances of the US culture war."

"There are elements of this dynamic apparent elsewhere in the west, in Canada, Australia or Germany. But the extent to which British rightwing commentators have been willing to declare their love and loyalty to Trump’s America has been striking."

"The self-described patriots of today’s British right seem giddy at the prospect of outsourcing their political identity to a foreign power and welcome the relegation of British sovereignty to vassal status within Trump’s new world order – just as long as they can personally and financially benefit from being the new comprador class within their own country."

@wdlindsy The British right has kowtowed to the US since at least the time of Thatcher.
The British right cannot be trusted.
@wdlindsy Nigel Farage of the far-right Reform 'Party' is threatening to abolish net zero regulations and in the local councils they run, they have already tried to abolish DEI & sent their own DOGE-lite goons in.
Meanwhile PM Starmer has tried flattering and appeasing the Tangerine Tyrant, to no avail.
