We don't defeat populists by calling out their lies. We tried that. Facts are complicated, and the audience for populism wants simplicity. It won't work. We defeat populists by enacting bold political ideas that improve lives for the disenfranchised, and make the world seem less grotesquely unfair.

In the real world, if you leave a pub because everybody is screaming abuse, there are constant fights, and you get no service because the spoiled brat of a landlord too busy sucking up to Nazis... nobody accuses you of vanishing into an elitist echo chamber. Same applies online.

It’s Entrepreneurship week and I’m on my way up to Edinburgh to talk to as many as I can!! It’s 9 hours beginning to end on train from Somerset and crazy expensive… BUT 87pc lower carbon than flights. It should be cheaper and quicker so more can choose it!! I know many would but just can’t!!
