Péter Magyar’s election victory has stirred the hearts of left-wing liberal media in the UK. It’s quite the phenomenon…
Alistair Campbell remarked this afternoon that Magyar “matched the strategy to the needs of the time” and Emily Maitlis said: “Young people spurred on by the need to see their country change.” You can sense the slight discomfort…
Magyar summarised:
Keir Starmer said: “This is an historic moment, not only for Hungary, but for European democracy. I look forward to working with you for the security and prosperity of both our countries.” Zack Polanski even chimed in: “Orban’s defeat shows that when we stand together against the politics of hate and division, hope wins and the far right friends of Farage can be defeated.” That’s a Magyar endorsement – wouldn’t be the first time Polanski had changed his colours…
The day after Starmer U-turned and refused to blame Trump for the war Rachel Reeves told the Mirror:
“Obviously no sensible person is a supporter of the Iranian regime, but to start a conflict without being clear what the objectives are and not being clear about how you are going to get out of it, I do think that is a folly and it is one that is affecting families here in the UK but also families in the US and around the world.”
