#andrewtickell — Public Fediverse posts

#AndrewTickell's column in #TheSundayNational https://archive.is/QTUUj was overtaken by events. Tickell wrote of #Starmer's doomed last stand. By Sunday morning, reports began unanimously predicting surrender. Oops!

Still, Tickell's penultimate paras nail the core problem: Starmer is a #fraud.

For #LabourParty members, the mask fell as soon as Starmer won the leadership. Many voters didn't spot it until Starmer was in No 10.

The real villains are the journalists who enabled that fraud.

#AndrewTickell is an exquisitely subtle, precise writer on Scottish politics. His elegant, wistful style reminds me of the #TheObserver's late columnist Alan Watkins, but without Watkins's pretentiousness.

So when facing the political carcass of #AnasSarwar, Tickell doesn't put the boot in. Instead, he takes ornate surgical knives, and dissects #Sarwar with cold precision. Delicious, and much more satisfying than a boot.

Yesterday (I think) I followed a link I was interested in (from I don't remember who) on here & it took me to the link below. The article makes good points. Goodness, does this news media's readers understand words such as kompromat (from the Russian компрома? We had to look it up!😂
