"Healey in, and Benn out, as Harold Wilson reshuffles his cabinet one last time."
Oh, this is so very good, on so many levels. A political poem.

"Farage appears to have been adopting political tactics that might have come from S. Baldrick."
Legal writer @davidallengreen's article on the #Farage / #Clacton shitshow is, as ever, both legally insightful and wryly observed. A real treat.

Your account was the first account I followed here on Mastodon when the great migration wave brought us all here in November 2022. My app shows your name at the very beginning of my list of followed accounts. You've been such an important voice all along. So sorry that there have been dissonances. Breaks can be productive --- I hope you will return. I'll stay tuned!

A subtly perceptive reflection, thank you.
Your analysis helps me sort out my own confused feelings as I watch the US horror unfold. Last night I posted Renee Nicole Good's name, with "No words" as my only comment. Your post gives me some words.

"From a liberal perspective things are not only getting worse, but could get a lot worse. The illiberals know what they are doing and they are doing it well."
"Yet there is also a possibility that after this period of increasing executive power there could be an equal and opposite reaction: that there will be a nemesis to the illiberal hubris. Most people may want a balance and not an imbalance between politics and law, with the overall position not lopsided in either direction. And so the contest between power and restraint may not yet be over."
Well-reasoned analysis, as ever.
Holding on to the cautious hope expressed in your last paragraph.

"One by one, each of the hallowed constitutional principles of a liberal democracy have been found an empty slogan."
"The carnival of cruelty continues, and continues --- and nothing intrinsic to the polity can bring it to an end."
A powerful essay by @davidallengreen, on the world we live in. Incisive and dark. Green's essay does not tell us to give up, but it forces us to be honest about the extent of the defeat of liberalism. A necessary read.

" ... looking for an angry fix."
Perfectly transported from one realm to the other. Bravo. I am sure the other Allen would forgive you.

Very well put. If I am honest, I didn't quite appreciate the weight of today's event, I just saw further traps being laid out for Ukraine.
With a few precise words you have opened my eyes.
Very well done, President Zelenskyy. S
Some slight signs of positive developments in a time of continually devastating news. That's something to treasure.

Thank you, #DavidAllenGreen, for your wise essay. A brutally sharp analysis of the irreversibility of the "revolution" we currently experience, and of our lack of concepts for it. No easy answers. Lots to think about.
"But instead of the caution of old-style conservatives, the new conservatives see that very fragility as an opportunity to trash and to damage."
"The problem is that old categories and concepts often do not match the novelty of what is now unfolding. We may need to think about things in a new way --- so as to work out to defeat what is unwelcome."
Wise words of warning.
