Spot on, Tim. The consequences of a Trump win are appalling to contemplate. Apart from collapsing the rules-based international order, he will take the US down a road which may lead to the expulsion of millions of "illegals" and severe repression of political opponents.

It's a shame your deadline meant you couldn't include the weekend's 'vermin' speech. He's obviously flirted with/embraced this rhetoric before, but now it seems to be scripted.

I’ve been trying to narrow down who the new speechwriters are. There’s some Bannon there and a dash of Miller. But someone really knows the key words. That podcast series is great, by the way.

There was an NYT piece on Friday (?) suggesting that Miller is still entrenched as his immigration guy, as well as Propaganda Minister. I'm subscribing to the podcast as we speak

we are here because the left would have to fully debate:

- the merits of breweries vis-a-vie gender, ethnicity and religiosity

- the desired level of inclusivity of piss-ups

- non-judgemental beverage self identification strategies (G&T++)

- nomination of platformed vs cancelled groups (Judean Liberation Front

? Don't make me laugh.)

In the mean time the right put their boots on and start marching.

Your homework: re-read Homage to Catalonia
