It's funny how discourse comes full circle because when I first got into politics around 15 years ago conservatives loved to point out how the establishment left that grew out of the suffragettes liked to dabble in eugenics

A few years ago I asked Goodwin to define 'woke' and he said something about a rejection of hard science in favour of feelings so it is quite funny to read the below in that context

In 1997, 27% of 18-24 year olds and 28% of 25-34 year olds voted Tory, per the British Electoral Survey.

- No plausible target seats for 2024
- Don't really know what main targets would be (as stood in no Cons seat in 2019)
- Weak claim to TV airtime in GE campaign
- Much weaker local presence than UKIP 2014-15 (eg councillors)

You'd think that at some point there'd be an audit of how all the previous traps have worked out (Rwanda!) but instead there is a belief that the next one will be so clever and devious that it'll fix everything

Well, PiS via its media arms leaked defensive plans for a Russian attack when PO were formerly in power to boost their election campaign. In other words, acting irresponsibly regarding security is quite common practice for them
