(it is *bad* for opposition parties when duff leaders who don't have it reach this point! they're just kidding themselves that everything's fine when all that's happened is a leader has just reached the level of being safe enough to stick around to deliver the crap result they're on track for)

It's all very 'my first experience of opposition' in that "doing a lot better" may well be the case, but it still isn't actually enough for her to win. All it is is that she's just basically got her base onside these days!

it is very destabilising for the world, which alienates Israel from its allies further

Ironically, this isn't a million miles away from the original Ayatollah's quote about the 1979 revolution that "we did not rise up to get cheaper watermelons"

Aside from anything else here (and there is a lot to unpack), the idea “Donald sending a few angry posts on truth social” is more humiliating than anything since Suez is remarkably psychologically illuminating. Our only job in the world is apparently to hang on America’s shoulder.

Chart showing European gas, Brent crude oil and stock prices since the start of 2026. Gas prices are up 80% (mostly since the Iran invasion), oil prices up 40%, and stocks have barely changed

One way in which a 2026 energy crisis* might be different to 2022: it would likely affect oil as well as gas.

In 2022, the main issue was gas, which mainly affected electricity and heating bills.
If oil spikes as well, expect transport and more industrial production to face problems

in this former mining town, they know two things: Brexit means Brexit, and the Pahlavi dynasty (1925-1979) are the rightful rulers of Persia.

Very funny how "nigel farage begs to be friends with an us admistration that wants to harm and make Britain poorer" is objectively true and proven to work as a left of centre revive potion but starmer can't take it bc he's boxed himself in. I wish it didn't affect me! Really funny

The government not really being in a position to afford the kind of energy price support that it did last time also feels quite eep at the moment

Everything right now mostly feels like trying to cope in the face of 'he pushed the button everyone has been like "do not push that button, it will fuck everyone up" for decades'

Qatar warns war will force Gulf to stop energy exports ‘within days’ Gas producer says it will take ‘weeks to months’ to restore deliveries after Iranian drone strike

Make yourself feel slightly better, or at least differently depressed, about bleak global news by reminding yourself that Kemi Badenoch thinks the *only* reason Keir Starmer could possibly have had any concerns about this war is his electoral dependency on British Muslims.

Denmark isn't Britain - in its immigration patterns, in its integration challenges, or in its history or politics.

If think lessons are transferable (as Cowley argues) this strategy would be: pursue "Danish" reforms, be OK if lose prog support, by Labour being coalitionable with Badenoch's Tories
