Jess Phillips Exposes Me As Sugar Eating Irrelevant Child

  • In yet another interview - well, puff piece to be more honest - with the Sunday Times, Jess Phillips denounced me and my friends at Novara Media as "noisy, overexcited children who have had too much sugar", adding “Who cares what they think, frankly.” Rude, given I've been cutting sugar out of my diet, but what the substance tells us is interesting - about how the left is infantilised, especially when there is an unprecedented generational divide in politics, how the left isn't going to vanish despite their desperate hopes, and why they flit between dismissing us as irrelevant and all powerful gods with the power to swing by elections.

      Help you* You're a political commentator, on the left, therefore you're free, quite rightly to enjoy the privilege to promote you views, without the fear of being censored by the 'social media' platforms you post your content on, unlike your counterpart's on the right. Shouldn't you be asking for help with support for the Labour party or at least an alternative to the ruling Tory government?

    *What does being 'naive' and 'unrealistic' even mean, politically?* I'm so tired of hearing it. Other than being a slimey way of saying whether or not you've pre-emptively compromised yourself and your ideas to get along, it seems to me to be little more than gaslighting.
    Nothing is impossible or unworkable with enough knowledge and people power while incrementalism, just isn't axiomatically "mature" like the establishment wants to think it is. Idealism is necessary, without it, nothing would ever get better, nobody would ever have the will to care, and nobody would ever have any courage to do anything that needs doing even if displeases the powerful.
    How come the right always gets its way with the most dangerous, unrealistic nonsense (BREXIT) but they're not shut-down as 'naive?' Eventhough its based in greed and sadism, their goals always seem to be worked towards and clawed at while its only the left that tells factions within itself that certain things just "can't be done."

    and the left can't be righteously courageous?*

Hence the year zero tactics of Progress/Labour First to ensure this. But most people don't know and don't care, what they see are the wet and naff media profile of Starmer and the pathetic pandemic political era. 🙄 At the moment Labour offer nothing to vote for many people and idly waiting for the Tories to become unpopular may or may not work but it will not deliver anything that the country needs to change. Anyone disagreeing with that hasn't been paying attention.
      Your response can be Steve Parkers hand wringing and telling everyone to be silent about imperial nudity, or it can be to use this period where the balance of power cannot be shifted into shaming those currently in control of Labour into taking a moral or ethical stance, or even having a policy or two.
      Me? I think Labour is a lost cause and should be put out of its misery, and ultimately the British political system, but to tell people to shut up and stop squabbling is to further neuter democracy and consensus building. But I don't think Labour is about democracy, consensus anymore and its not fit for purpose. Therefore I think its healthy to debate in the open.

    Does anyone know what Jess Phillips actually stands for in terms of policies? Sure she is big advocate for women's rights and gender equality which I 100% agree with, and pre-December 2019 was a keen advocate of another EU referendum and remain, but what else?
    During her comically bad leadership campaign, she really struggled to set her stall out and even in the limited areas where she gave some specifics, i.e. the EU issue, she quickly back tracked and flip flopped.
    She is more charismatic than Starmer, though that's not particularly difficult. However she is a still a typically vacuous and pointless modern day (I stress modern day as in the 90s New Labour did set out their policy platform and beliefs clearly and concisely) centrist politician.

    Yes Owen, isn't it inconvenient for the Blairites that young people just won't be told!
    I was at Uni when Blair became PM, he pretty much immediately sold students down the river... I will NEVER forgive him or his pals for changing the Labour party (representing the working class) into a supposed centrist labour party (for the benefit and growth of the middle classes).
    I'm in the middle-aged demographic but I didn't join the Labour party until Corbyn was nominated for leader. Starmer has lied as much to us left wingers as Johnson has to the whole nation. If we could rid politics of all the lies then I could see a future for democracy... until liars are held accountable (as they are everywhere, except in politics), then I see no value in voting. I've been hoping for a revolution since Thatcher became PM. After over a decade of Blair/Brown in power, selling us down the river and now with Starmer leading "the opposition" I fear that really is our only hope to bring equity to our country. Ahh well I'm sure that's tldr but I got it off my chest!

    That's quite disappointing Owen. I enjoyed the interviews you have done with Jess in the past, which have seemed quite witty and inciteful. Under Starmer, she has seen it as acceptable to show off how centrist she is. Although I do still like it when she sticks it to Johnson on Twitter.

    Here’s a childish thought. Whilst we’re stuck with the anathema of First Past the Post, why don’t the Jess Philips faction join the Lib Dem’s? At least then we’d have a three party system, be capable of ousting the Tories, and the Labour Party would be able to tackle the issues that really matter.

    Youthful idealism is often dismissed as naive, unrealistic and irrelevant by 'pragmatic' politicians. Those who embrace young idealistic causes, like Tony Benn often did, become forced to operate on the periphery of mainstream politics. Jess is clearly trying to identify herself as having 'common sense' to make sure she enjoys a degree of mainstream acceptance, but as you quite rightly point out, young people are currently reacting to very real structural economic/social conditions that mainstream politics are not seeking to address or propsing to change. This is reflected by young commentators such as yourself and Ash. It was also recently manifested in the widespread popularity of Corbyn amongst educated young middle class kids. However it also shows up as anti woke nationalistic knee jerk politics among alienated, disenfranchised working class kids. Jess needs to clarify which set of 'ideals' she prefers before she dismisses the voices of the young left?

    It's interesting I just come across this piece by you and Jess Phillips from a year a go but I saw your interview with her at this recent Labour party conference first I see nothing has changed her patronising attitude towards you and her refusal to really engage in the questions you tried to put to her ended with her walking away with a childlike pat on your shoulder well at least she didn't say she would stick a knife in your front like she did with Jeremy you could say that is progress

    Im not in tune with you politically, but I don't subscribe to tribalism & I don't endorse any party or political ideology, I presume I fall into the category of a swing voter! But I enjoy watching your videos & hearing you options.
    I have to say, infighting doesn't do anything for your cause & you're kidding yourself if you believe it's not harmful to the Labour party, or the labour movement as you'd like to say, to in someway belittle the party . You're naive to believe your content or any left wing commentator is only followed & enjoyed by those already on your political page! How do you think they'll ever be change, if alternative political views weren't listen to. It's a fact Starma appeals to Tory voter's, but you appear to only want to concentrate on the labour party staying as far left as it has been in recent years.
