Going up pretty rapidly! Are they on the beers up there?

I don't think they expect to. Just privatise the NHS, then jump off into a lucrative corporate gig in 2029 leaving us all to suffer.

Though the accession of Corbyn temporarily ceased hostilities between the Blairite/Brownite wings, they still hate each other's guts; insignificant though their differences may seem from the outside. Ed was a Brownite and the Blairites have not forgiven him for disposessing their anointed son David.

And centrists LOVE it because it means they can feel progressive while tightening the screws: see, they really *do* care about poor people, they just don't want taxpayers' money spent on people who don't need it.

The markets were supposed to go "finally, the adults are back in charge" and the economy would automatically start growing of its own accord.

I suppose we might as well get it over with as quickly as possible

It's not going to keep me awake tonight to be honest

This is primarily why I exercise, so I don't have to think of other things to do with my time 😂

Which it dutifully did but the Tories continued to hate it regardless

You can tell that, in the US, fascist resentment is in large part because they were always shut out from polite society, never invited to the good parties. But over here, our fascists have always been a part of the establishment, so what's our excuse?
