Alastair Campbell on his own today talking about Orban's defeat and how all the 'goodies' on the centre left are taking advantage big time and the disgusting creatures on the populist right are crumbling. Starmer sadly seems to be wobbling in the middle as he so often does.
The collapse in the Leave vote is quite amazing. I always assumed that sheer emotion alone would have kept it around 50%. That this hasn't happened demonstrates the plunging ineptitude of those tasked with making Brexit a success. Or were they only interested in getting the thing over the line and didn't give a hoot about what followed?
It is pretty obvious to anyone who goes on holiday or business to the EU that Brexit was folly and that the Europeans have a better life than us, except perhaps in the areas of Britain that voted Remain.
Leavers are still resentful of the failure of their precious, which becomes more obvious over time. No one likes being slapped in the face by their poor choice every time they visit.
It's not obvious at all, and I don't think they do - not a bit of it. Brexit hasn't affected my European experience at all.
You're projecting.
Im still waiting for someone to explain how if the EU was so excellent for our economy how come we have slipped down all the ranking tables since we joined ?
36 years of Tory government since Britain joined.
Britain is [mostly] the country Tories made.
But the shit years were Labour...
In the 81 years since the end of WWII, the Tories have been in government for 49 years. 60%. Britain is so happy with how the country turned out that the Tories received a record vote share at the last general election.
A record low vote share.
Might it not be worth a bit of introspection over what went wrong with Tory Britain over the decades?
The record over the bulk of that 81 years is sorting Britain out after Labour left it worse than they inherited.
When Labour is next thrown out by the voters, that record will continue.
A bit of introsepction by Labour over their broken business model might be time better spent.
Govt achievements since WW2
Labour NHS, Welfare State, Council housing, universal secondary schooling
Conservatives Nuclear deterrent, water nationalisation (then privatised it, ooops!), city big bang. TU Reform, Europe (then Brexit)
Any other major lasting achievements for the blue team? Admittedly Labour rely very heavily on Attlee
The British nuclear bomb came under Attlee, commencing the programme in 1947.
True, but the conservatives abandoned that and bought working US system. I was scrabbling around to give them something
