Thing is, the Tories lied, and the not too bright British people fell for those lies as usual and now we are in this mess. After they Brexited due to their stupid racism, gave us May, post Cameron and Osborne stripping growth through austerity and making people poorer (May was at least moral). Then Boris... who along with Sunak mishandled everything from Pandamic to behaviour of party members. Then Truss... enough said. People know the shit job Sunak has already done, the British populace are very stupid and may vote for him.https://www.ft.com/content/7a209a34-7d95-47aa-91b0-bf02d4214764
Tbh, Sunak like Brown before him didn't do a bad job in Crisis... but, his policies during that time and Brexit, led to the economic woes prior to Truss as Biden's economy just gets stronger. Gordon Brown once said two types of Chancellor exist, "those who fail and those who get out in time." Sunak is lucky Truss ****ed up so badly, it may hide from the retarded British public his chickens coming home to roost... at least in the short term.
Rishi did help during Covid, theres really no denying that. In fact I dont see a New Labour government doing more than that tbh.
Unfortunately Labour also support a hard Brexit now, so I dont see how thats going to change after a GE.
In terms of lies, Labour lied their asses off to get us into Iraq. NEVER FORGET. Starmer himself must have led the most deceitful leadership campaign ive ever witnessed to become leader of the opposition.
Brown was mostly a competent Chancellor. But I wouldnt praise him too much. He did sell most our Gold reserves at low prices (which was actually pretty incompetent). Him and Blair also practiced the whole Trickle Down Economics, by giving Capital Gains Tax cuts to the rich.
So basically I have no hopes for a GE giving us something better. And have no faith in Democracy as long as we are stuck with this two party system, and as long as the public continue to let the media push the narrative (demonising Corbyn).

DT after the last 12 years, anyone not mad should be mate. I admit, what they have done to the UK, does trigger me. In 2010, we were still Great Britain and NI, the U.K... now, apart from the Welsh if referendum's occur we will become little England and Wales.
Bro we had a real choice with Corbyn. We dont now. Thats what im mostly pissed about. The British Public being so easily fooled into a 2 party choice, both working for the elite.
