I strongly suspect that this is exactly like the legal advice over Iraq. Everything is arguably legal until a judge tells you it isn’t. You provide the best argument you can for the decision the government has already taken.

As the PM says, we will respect the SC’s judgment, the judicial process and Rule of Law, even though the Gov’t respectfully disagrees with the Court’s decision.

Dangerous and wrong-headed international interventions have also exacerbated community tensions at home. When Boris Johnson compared Muslim women to letterboxes or bank robbers, it wasn’t a flippant comment, it was calculated to play on people’s fears. Displays of racism, Islamophobia or antisemitism are not signs of strength, but of weakness.

Trump also said that Johnson was “doing a really good job” and that he was going to make “really great progress in October and November”.
“October,” Johnson insisted, referring to his Brexit deadline.

Talking of which, just had a severely miffed Brendan O'Neill on Sky fuming about elites and the establishment and experts and how 'so-called progressives' on both sides of the Atlantic are resorting to extra-parliamentary procedures to attack elected leaders (not that he's supports Boris or Trump, of course - he's like Claire Fox, he's 'of the left', you see). Why the fuck are these Spiked arseholes on every channel?

Thats a lucrative space and they're actually on a lot less than they could be. I'm pretty surprised we're not getting more "I'm from the left, the left left me" figures in UK media. Seems to be more with actual MPs rather than media figures, and regarding the Labour Party rather than 'liberalism/socialism/progressivism/whatever'. It may be that theres more mileage in other areas when it comes to a UK context.
Rave Dubin, Pim Tool have carved out spaces for themselves in the US with this, though they're probably a lot more purely grift than people like O'Neill
O'neill/Fox were both communists once? The space they currently occupy seems a weird one, its not clear to me what they even are or who their audience is
The only person I know that likes them is my super right-wing cousin. I don't think I would have even heard of them otherwise. He likes them because he likes the concept of a "real" left wing, that agrees with him on "the regressive left"
I'm aware they make a lot of tv appearances but don't recall any.
In some ways seems like another variant of media over-representation of groups of people or perspectives that don't really exist, at least not in significant number
