- Incredibly different reaction to #pmqs on Twitter (where the consensus seems to be that Starmer is in deep trouble) and Bluesky (where several are saying that Badenoch has had performed terribly). Ofc both interpretations might be true but the difference in tone is marked.

- Reposted by Andrew RussellA less discussed aspect of normalization of the far right is the attacks on anyone using pre-normalization assessments and terminology.
