It’s fascinating to see Reform UK politicians burning bridges with @LordAshcroft , someone they’ve been cordial with, over an unfavorable poll. Unnecessary and foolish.

The right response, of course, is to see what you can learn from a poll. If the poll is wrong you don’t need to worry too much and if it’s right you are ignoring truth. Whenever in my political life people have started denying what research is telling them, it always ends badly.

Plus his polls are good. Trump’s people thought the polls were an establishment fiction, but they ended up underestimating the Democrats.

This is interesting. He has always been cordial towards Michael and long hoped for his support. He appears to have given up on this.

He’s losing his feel, which is interesting. He also overestimates what money and organisation can achieve, which is also interesting.

I’m assuming this screenshot is genuine. The fact that someone like this holds an official UN post explains why it is impossible to trust the UN when it observes or comments on Israel. This is a great sadness and makes establishing truth vastly harder.
