Is "deliverism" dead? Lawrence gave his first take on Iran at the weekend and will return to it later this week.

What is "deliverism"? Is it dead? And what would its death mean for progressive politics?

This essay (kindly published by @samfr.bsky.social) is my attempt to trace five years of trans-Atlantic debates, to set out what I see as the stakes, and to analyse where these arguments have now gotten to:

This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something

Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used

"Trump believes he's set a trap that the opposition is walking into. But it might be *him* that ends up getting hurt by it."

Prescient.

“If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer… And a people that no longer can believe anything cannot make up its mind…And with such a people you can then do what you please.”

🧵 Why does politics feel so stuck? Why does everyone think the government is useless?

Here's a short thread on why badgers are they key to understanding why.

Trump trashes America (again)

A "situation room" mocked up with bits of black cloth and monitors with nothing to show but a Twitter feed. Embarrassing.

"A new world order with new rules is taking shape." www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

I put that line in after you highlighted it!

Fantastic video on (small L) liberalism as a "social technology".

Opinion | This moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans Regarding Venezuela, Ukraine and much more, Trump and his acolytes are worse than simply incompetent.

“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement.”

Chat is it a good sign if the cops are publicly disavowing the regimes actions on Twitter

It's a very similar dynamic to the rise of Trumpism. Nobody on the right speaking up or saying anything, as the individual incentive was to keep your head down – but the collective cowardice ending up somewhere really bad.

I think Obama was an interesting mix. He felt radical because he was black but he took lots of moderate positions. (Though Clinton would have also taken similar moderate positions).

They argued Trump was seen as more moderate by voters in 2016 than Clinton. The evidence they gave seemed convincing.

I thought they were saying these districts are representative of not the whole country but the places where Dems struggle but need to win.

Thanks for the link. If you have a chance to explain more of your criticisms that'd be great as what it said seemed to make sense, but accept you probably have better things to do.
