    "It was still him, though: there was the trademark running of the hands through the hair, even if he does seem to have been cured of the arse-scratching. Has Carrie had him wormed?"

    "In the same way, the Tory government that left office in 1997 may have presided over crumbling public services, but it could at least point to an economic boom. The government that looks set to lose office next month has failed on both counts. “Broken Britain”, it turns out, was a campaign promise."

    "Rish tried to look casual in his too short, boy-sized chinos but his eyes are now dead. He’s done and seen things that no politician should be forced to endure. Most of them of his own making."

    "It’s almost as if the Tories want to lose this election by even more than predicted. Who to bring out but the man the Tories themselves had concluded was unfit to govern? The man most of the country are happy to forget."

    Why, yes, Conservative canvasser, Thank you for calling by. I do have thoughts on your candidate.

    Being decorous, and in a place where young children are passing, I will not voice them beyond "traitor" and "thief".

  7. It has come to my attention that there is a #GE2024 hashtag and a #2024GE. For the avoidance of doubt, I'll be using the former to tag my posts, but I sure do wish there was an ao3 style manual linking of differently-named-but-identical-tags behind the scenes.

    "Our Vicky is something of an enigma. Often labelled as one of the higher-functioning Tory ministers without any evidence for how she might have gained that reputation. Other than not being Grant Shapps or Jeremy Hunt."

    The #UK has changed, & if #Labour doesn't change & evolve with it, it will die. The #UK is a Social Democratic country, which lurched to the extremes with disastrous consequences.

    We had the ERG/Tories on the far right, & the #Corbynista/Momentum caucus on the far left. #Starmer has steered Labour back to the centre, & I suspect that the one nation Tories will inherit the #CONservatives after #GE2024 & steer them back to the centre too.

    Thankfully Starmer got there 1st
