I guess that will do for a title? So far we have seen Sunak fuck up just about every appearance, Starmer desperately trying to hold the party together, Davey showing kids how to holiday and trying not to be embarrassed, Reform keeps getting air time whilst the Greens must be really radical to be ghosted so comprehensively!
So I will ignore the tories who have a major problem – they have been incompetent for 14 years and have fucked up more than the economy, our society has suffered. There is nothing where they can say that they will continue to build on the success of the last 14 tears – so if if we ignore those who should not be trusted with scissors – they are totally fucked.
Whilst this fills me with so much pleasure, our election system is fucked as well. Labour under Starmer with a few hundred majority would be bad for democracy and probably the country! He could counter this by at least approving left wing candidates in ‘difficult’ seats. He should also abolish the whips office and replace it with a pastoral type HR, I would accept the need for a whip in fiscal measures though. Giving MP’s a free vote on whatever would surely be good for democracy and be a complete reversal of tory reign of priveldge and dystopia.
I also understand his reluctance to impose tax hikes on income but the public (well most of them who have functioning brain cells and can avoid the inductronation techniques of the crap press) are also keen to have a functioning public service sector. So todays Observer had an interesting article about taxing wealth. I will admit to being a house blocker ( I am single and live in a 3 bedroom house ideal for a family) and am willing to entertain a debate on this.
On a personal note – it was beyond brilliant yesterday – the children and grandchildren all came up for a bbq – they all get on so well! The teenagers were a bit bored but whatever! TBH so much better than spending £300 on a restaurant – we had an excess of food (which was taken home), I spent a lot more time with everyone. It was great to see all getting on well together. And for a present they are going to sort out my living area lighting – one shade has been smashed since Rausi got over excited 15 years ago. Salads were brilliant.
