This is what’s keeping me up at night, and also exactly why I think all the predictions of four or five hundred seats for Labour are overblown.

    You know, mate, not every political argument you disagree with is ‘gaslighting’. ‘Gaslighting’ is a form of emotional abuse. This article, which says ‘It’s possible that the Labour vote is quite soft’, is not, and I kind of don’t believe I have to say this, is not a form of emotional abuse. It is just an article saying ‘It’s possible that the Labour vote is quite soft’. It’s actually critical of Labour, which hardly amounts to a polemic about the benefits of voting for them.

    And even within the long and storied genre of neurotic leftwing posting, I think ‘The Guardian are deploying subliminal anti-IWW messaging’ really stands out.
