Let's Be Clear About This

Since all three major parties and the Conservatives agree on just about everything except style and tempo, it follows that there is no such thing as a debatable policy. Disagreements can result only from treachery (Brexit), excessive haste (La Truss), or a chronic inability to persuade the ungrateful rabble as to the awesome nobility of one's intentions (Team Starmer's first year in office). In seeking out a worthy candidate to head his new Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, the CEO of Team Starmer has naturally favoured a candidate whose commitment to the truth according to Rupert Murdoch is arguably a match for his own. Nevertheless, certain elements are already protesting the appointment; and although they have not yet been proscribed as a terrorist organisation, it seems unlikely that those elements will prove comparable to the average migrant-baiting lynch mob as regards the legitimacy and understandability of their concerns.
