This is correct: Farage was recruited by the press to 1) front up their endless outrage campaigns over nothing, and 2) troll the Tories from the right. Under no circumstances was he employed to 3) become the editors’ boss and control things like press regulation. So they’re revoking his legitimacy.

Looks like the establishment have chosen Burnham as their new messiah, and want to keep Farage in reserve to ensure Burnham doesn't stray, so for the time being we can see how the polls unfold.

flyingrodent called it: press created the Frankenstein's monster to torment Tories, didn't expect it to come for THEIR regulatory throat 🤷‍♀️ Press regulation is the one thing billionaire media barons fear more than tax rises. Farage outlived his usefulness the moment he threatened Leveson 2.0 🫡📰

In the same way they employed Boris Johnson to front their bullshit campaigns, and then finally to drag them out of the hole they had dug Britain into, but they didn’t employ him to embarrass everyone by publicly filling his boots while telling the papers to fuck off. So they revoked his legitimacy.

These guys are useful until suddenly they aren’t, and then they must immediately fuck off and stay there, possibly until they are required again. When the herd moves, it moves.

This is what I mean when I say everyone instantly understood Starmer and McSweeney were fucked and Wes Streeting wouldn’t be PM, the very second those emails from Peter to Jeffrey were released. Boom, done, fucked. From that point on, it was only a matter of when, not if.

Peter Mandelson, an endlessly useful and interesting guy for decades right up until he’s suddenly untouchable, and not even a Sunday Times comeback at-home interview can save the guy.

Is there a better way to organise public affairs than this? Absolutely yes, and that’s why we can never have it and we only ever get this instead.
