If polls more or less stay as they are for the next two years, the UK could have seen its last Tory Prime Minister. The decade while the right regroups and reorganise under some different name provides a window of opportunity. It’s unlikely Starmer would last long enough in office to squander it all.

Guy on twitter pointed it out that we basically follow a very predictable pattern in British politics : Tories get in, proceed to loot the place for everything not nailed down and do a bunch of hard right reforms Everything goes to poo poo Some mealy mouthed middle management comes in to prop things up and locks in tory reforms The press decide it's time for the next round of looting, middle management goes off to sit on the board of some bullshit company. Rinse and repeat.

Yeah the amount of investment, taxes, pay raises etc that would be required to bring us back to merely the same level as 2010, never mind actually improving things, would be branded as totally unrealistic and impossible Even if there were anybody promising to try, which there isn’t

Yes, it's called The Ratchet and it's not a new idea, and it plays out mostly the same across the anglo world, see Barack HUSSEIN Obamacare locking in Bush's "temporary" tax cuts and similar, starving the beast further.

Relatives can often mistake the plateau for getting better, because the patient is stable and not getting worse. But the important thing is that the patient never regains what was lost - their competence never goes back up during a plateau. Only ever downwards, and twirling, twirling ever onward toward freedom!

I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson, imo the best sketch show ever made by a wide margin. It is absolutely loving hilarious and I couldn’t recommend it enough. I found out about it from jazz legend Marcus ‘The Worm’ Hicks when he was on the Colgate Comedy Hour.
