Soubry’s opining about “tribalism” is disingenuous too but appeals to precisely the right media demographic. Of course politics is tribal, it involves the battle of one ideology against (at least) another, and championing one group over another.

Endlessly complaining about a lack of civility ignores the very real harm austerity does - it has literally killed people - and is such a one way street (“I am a crusading, impartial commentator, you are a Berniebro/Corbynista”). Politics is an angry field, by necessity.

this is exactly why I always say voting is NOT just 'difference of opinion', It's not a case of i like blue you like red, it's values and beliefs about other people, about society and then voting based on those thereby affecting lives. Voting is ACTING on opinion. It's an action.

Agree but I think partly the way media works is to as JG Ballard said to keep us consuming: cadgets, "tech" and sports most of all. Politics on TV is structured not in long discussions more combative point scoring. Twitter FB distort it all.

I am Chuka's generation. Grown up with marketing, spin and brands as articles of faith. However I take inspiration from my late father's hippie values. With 12 years of climate left TIGs philosophy is a kind of fiddling while Rome burns.

Some are good nice people but not experts in everything so form ideas based on who has the slickest pitch ( the pitch is ideological) That's why we have the CSJ, IEA, TPA. Its why they work so hard to get access to MPs/media and why MPs / media need to start being v wary of them
