Even if the govt was better there'd be the usual mid term anti-govt kicking. People seem to be assuming without Starmer everything would be OK but the country would still not be in a great state.

Where's the video where he says "a wealth tax is purely about levelling wealth and won't actually pay for anything to improve public services or prevent the need for further tax rises?"
