The Most Read 20 of 2025

That's enough about other people's writing, what about the words that were thrown down on this blog? It has been a quieter year than previously for a variety of reasons I won't entertain you with, but readership is up. How ironic - the less I say the more people are interested. Looking down the list of 2025's most popular, nearly all of it offers analysis of the Starmer/McSweeney implosion of the Labour Party, or what the hell is going on on the left - be it the frequently exasperating drama of Your Party, or the altogether impressive advance of the Green Party. And gazing into the crystal ball, sitting here 12 months hence I believe I'll be making broadly similar comments about what coverage attracted the clicks.
