Competition for most viral @LabourList columns is on.
My rival claims he’s only watched 1,000 hours of GB News, **for the cause**. Babe. That’s a Tuesday.

I’ve launched a new monthly column for @LabourList on what progressives can learn from the right’s media machine. For the first piece, I consumed 1,000 hours of GB News, right-wing podcasts and the darker corners of the internet. Here’s what I learned 🧵

This will be a monthly @LabourList column examining how the right builds audiences, moves ideas from the fringe into the mainstream, and what progressives should learn from it.
Read the first piece here 👇

The left is losing voters it once took for granted. If we want different results, we can’t keep communicating in the same ways we always have, hoping things will change.
The left should not copy the right’s politics. But we do need to understand why their communications work.

Important constitutional question: if Count Binface can’t wear his bin helmet in Parliament due to dress code, what exactly is “business attire” on Sigma IX?

Finally, Springfield Bowls and Social Club. Hidden up an alley halfway down the wisteria laden (and very very nice) Western Gardens. Gives hidden clubhouse energy: bowls, bar, snooker, dominoes, backgammon, music nights, and cheap drinks. Hasn't changed since 1968.

Second, the Brentham Club. Bar. Football. Tennis. Cricket. Bowls. Darts. Bridge. Quizzes. Elton John tribute nights. Cafe. A bit more lively than the Men's Club with various sports clubs attached, but you'll always bump into someone's dad, or auntie, or dog.

THE GUARDIAN: One in three believe 'Britishness' is dependent on being born in UK #TomorrowsPapersToday

@CharlotteCGill In other words... UK charity receives funding from non-profits, grantmakers and charitable trusts — not from tobacco companies, arms manufacturers or gambling firms — in order to conduct independent research... I’m not sure where the conspiracy is supposed to be.

Taxpayers’ money shouldn’t go to your think tank, which also gets funding from the Open Society Foundations, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors and Unbound Philanthropy 🇺🇸 ippr.org/who-we-are/how…

There should be a £100,000 cap on individual donations to political parties. We should all be concerned that wealthy individuals are accounting for a growing share of party funding. Christopher Harborne’s £9m donation to Reform is record-breaking, but comes in the context of more millionaires donating to political parties than ever before. The only real solution is for the government to introduce a cap on how much any one individual can donate in a given year. That a cryptocurrency investor based in Thailand would still be allowed to finance British democracy under the new election laws the government is trying to pass only highlights its holes. Not so long ago, donations over three or four million pounds were extremely rare. They are now quite common. It is no surprise that voters perceive their support is worth less to a political party than the power of someone else’s pound. This is an under-acknowledged reason behind declines in voter turnout and falling political trust in our country.
