Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.

Mark Carney is a fantastic demonstration of why having a coherent political and economic worldview is so important for a politician. When you encounter something out of the scope of what youāve previously experienced, you can derive your approach from first principles. Labour: take notes.

Doesnāt game theory suggest that in a stable, cooperative system where powerful agents play by a set of established rules, someone who ādefectsā & stops playing by the rules wins big for awhile, but then the system gets destabilized, chaos rules, & eventually a new system gets rebuilt on the ruins?

Impossible to disagree but it's very difficult for ministers to have a public discussion about this given the UK's reliance on the US for defence and its strategy towards Ukraine, let alone its almost total reliance on AI and Big Tech as the tool for public sector reform and boosting growth.

In 1932, FDR was elected with 57.4% of the vote. He brought us the New Deal. In 1964, LBJ was elected with 61.1% of the vote. He brough us the Great Society. In 2025, Trump was elected with 49.8% of the vote. He's attempting to destroy everything FDR & LBJ built. The rest is commentary.

There's a fundamental failure of imagination among political leaders about the realities of governing in the 21st Century (this is true for the UK as well as the EU). Toxic information environments, malevolent state actors - these are the threats of today.
