As I’ve said from 2022 or so: we are absolutely fucked and no help is coming, not for a decade at least and probably not even then, because the careers of important people who matter take priority over the lives of everyone in this country, and nobody whose opinion counts is trying to change this.

So basically, we’re where we were post-Brexit, post-Johnson and post-Truss: absolutely fucked and we cannot ever get unfucked, because unfucking ourselves would require too many important people to annihilate their own careers by enraging the wealthy and their servants.

It was clear in the manifesto. I didn't like a lot of it - which is fine; have acknowledged that forever now - but it was quite a nicely linked up blueprint for a car which never ever made clear where the tyres or petrol was coming from.

Or alternatively a vision for a solid government in 2010.
