This is a really good analysis of how #Labour became a right wing party.

I was aware of their courting of rich donors, but I'd missed the revolving door between Labour governments and the defence and private healthcare industries, and the point about Labour directing anger towards immigrants in order to divert it from the #kleptocrats I'd completely missed.

@jonesmurphy @Remittancegirl They don't vote for the media. Even the Daily Mail only averages half a million copies. GB News is 'more popular' than the BBC or Sky but still gets only 147,500 viewers for its top programme.

There is marginal public appetite for ant of this media. We get not what the public wants, but what the #Kleptocrats think it in their interests to pay to provide.
