It's only stating the obvious, I'm relatively politically neutral but the last 14 years have given us the worst government and two of the worst prime minsiters in history. They managed to keep being untrustworthy, corrupt and imcompetent up to the very last moment. That's one hell of a record.
I'd go as far as saying "or the term afterwards" too. It'll take a generation.
The next few years are going to be interesting. Not least because Labour cannot get anywhere near repairing the damage the Tories have overseen in that time and will be criticized for it.
What direction will the Tories go in under a new leader?
He's as much the establishment as anyone else but claims not to be.
He knows his policies are unworkable but claims they're "contract".
And this isn't a Senedd election. It'll have no baring on those in Cardiff, unless Labour win and then I think Starmer can influence the Senedd away from Drakefords Labour.
Starmers Labour and Drakefords Labour are polls apart.
Ironically this could be good for British politics.
I can see Farage beginning a potentially successful campaign for proportional representation when Reform get a lot of votes but few seats. That isn't fair, but a reflection of first past the post.
I don't think they'll get as many as some people think becasue the people who make the most noise on social media are usually the ones who don't / won't vote. They will get a good percentage though but that won't be reflected in seats won.
It's actually made me wonder if Biden will make the election in November or if the Democrats move him aside. I honestly don't understand how anyone can vote for either of them.
But it is a very easy country to get employment either legally or illegally.
You don't see the proliferation of cash only accepting car wash, take aways and barbers elsewhere in Europe. We're overrun with Uber drivers and delivery cyclists too. All these are easy to work for in the grey labour market.
But it sounds like a better plan than relying on France to protect their thousand mile (plus) border and then gladly take back anyone who manages to leave.
There is no chance whatsoever of stopping migrants getting in to France. The border is very long and over many countries.
It's ok though Reform have said they'll just turn the boats back to France. That can't work even now, under Macron.
On LBC this morning when pushed my Nick Ferrari on the fact that France won't take them, the Reform deputy leaders solution was "we'll have it out with the French". Genuinely, his exact words.
How do our Reform voters think that'll go, now and with a Le Pen government?
