A lot of Lefties are learning today that it’s messy to cry through a nose ring. Me, I’m quids in. A Trump victory is a goldmine for writers who aren’t heartbroken: one producer told me they were struggling to find a pundit who didn’t sound depressed.
Ian Dunt, a former host of the Remainiacs podcast, called it “America’s darkest dawn”; Paul Mason, “a fascist process”.
My favourite was Sadiq Khan, not a pundit but then not really a mayor either, who tweeted: “An important reminder for Londoners: our city is – and always will be – for everyone.” That’s the style: portentous and self-involving, as if the election of a president thousands of miles away has any effect on Barnes Pond. But the commentator I most enjoyed this election was Rory Stewart, a podcaster who once ran a province in Iraq (the fact that he shares his podcast with the man who helped destroy Iraq, Alastair Campbell, never fails to amaze me).
