We were right beyond our worst nightmares. QAnon hallucinated that God had raised up a deliverer from it all in the person of Donald Trump. But we always knew that centrism and right-wing populism were con tricks to sell exactly the same economic and foreign policies to different audiences by pretending to wage a culture war, while Fascism was inherent in both of them, only ever arising by their joint enterprise. We pointed out endlessly that they constituted a single milieu. Now that we see the fundamental character of that, how did we ever miss it?
And to Kemi Badenoch's motion to require the release of all papers relating to the appointment of Peter Mandelson as Ambassador to Washington, Keir Starmer, Darren Jones, Nick Thomas-Symonds and Jonathan Reynolds have tabled an amendment, which will of course pass, to exempt "papers prejudicial to UK national security or international relations", which could of course be any or all of them.
