A generally good piece, and I'm glad to hear Claire admit that Labour has long had an antisemitism problem. But I'm genuinely stunned to hear her claim that it's the right who have peddled in identity politics. Wow. It's not the Conservatives who are pushing the extremist gender ideology, or backing the now-discredited (some would say barbaric) practices of the Tavistock clinic. Male rapists suddenly deciding they're women upon conviction so they can go to a women's prison, anyone? Schools spending more time on punishing students who refuse to believe that their classmate is a cat than on math? Even now, during the campaign, Labour politicians can't bring themselves to admit in interviews that, no, biological males cannot magically become women because they wish it so. Left-wing parties in the UK and the US are both facing the vast middle-of-the-road electorate who are getting fed up with the culture insanity and starting to push back.

Yes! But this has little application across the pond since the Republicans are now the party of the working Americans. From Axios on Biden's post-debate work: "During a family gathering at Camp David on Sunday, Biden family members, including Hunter, went through with a long-scheduled session with celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz. The Bidens insisted the president stay in the race, we're told by people close to them." Let me read that to you again: "With celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz." Most of Biden's money is coming from the celebrity-tech industry, and he is catering to Hollwood, not the people. His handlers need to subscribe to the Liberal Patriot and read Claire's commentary.
