Thanks for all the comments on this yesterday; really interesting. Let me try to shift the agenda to the question raised in the last para - what should the opposition do in the face of the drift towards authoritarianism? 1/
First, who or what is 'the opposition'? And second, what should the message be? I tend to get stuck... on the one hand, the opposition needs to be very broad (and has to reach out to those who voted for Brexit and/or Johnson). 2/
But the broader the church, the harder it tends to be to agree on a message, or a leader, or a strategy. 3/3
