For example, he points out that the Democrats' reaction to Orange Stalin 1.0 was to become the party of the early 21st century status quo. Alienating a huge number of allies, and a big chunk of the electorate, motivated by a post-Occupy goal of dismantling that status quo. This backfired on them big time in 2024.

"... I increasingly see [politics] in terms of social justice, inequality, not really addressing poverty in our country, not really addressing the homeless ... I would have loved to see a Labour government come in that [centres] those things ... and one if the reasons I'm underwhelmed, to be honest, is that it does feel a bit austerity-lite, and not a million miles from where Cameron's conservatives were."

"I talked to a Yale colleague called Amit Khandelwal yesterday, who has done really detailed research on ... what happened last time Trump brought in tariffs. And before he did this research, economists believed that if you put up tariffs, a lot of the cost would be borne by the producers."

I certainly thought that was a possibility, and said so here a few times.

"... I think [conspiracy theories] are, at their core, an important critique of power and of the establishment, and sometimes they are warranted. Sometimes they're not. So what we need to do is be very careful about which ones we want to get rid of, and which ones we're going to allow to stay."
