My point is that this is less about debate and more about the territorial war for eyeballs - a war which the radical right realises it is in, and, it seems, that everyone else doesn’t.

Good, then Kier Starmer and the Labour Party should be on every online channel talking about Farage’s Taliban Plan With Your Taxes.

Ffs they have no traction with those channels. And if they do take your advice, Farage will simply row back on it and will get the benefit of the doubt - not only from those channels, but also all of the others.

You keep saying things that sound savvy but are actually defeatist.

There’s no point going on the mainstream media because no one’s watching but there’s also no point going online because those spaces are biased.

So, in conclusion, there’s no use in having a message and even less use trying to tell anyone what the message is.

It’s less important, at the moment, than addressing the way that the consumption of information has changed so radically. If you think this is just a to-and-fro of debate you may want to explain why the radical right is in the rise everywhere (unless you think their arguments are sensible, that is)

I don’t understand what you want this government to do at the moment.

The UK has never had a less purposeful supply-side approach to the information economy, or media regulation as it has now. We’ve always been a bit complacent about it because we had the BBC (which was all of that in one nice box). But that is no longer the case.

I don’t think the media landscape is at all fair to the centre left but I don’t think the correct response is to stop trying to reach people somehow.

And how is that working out at the moment? It’s the complacency that worries me here.
