    Ree Smog is out! I repeat, Ree Smog is out!

    Yes, despite many leftists decrying Labour’s centreward shift, I think this is a good result. This result was helped by that shift in no small part.

    Starmer is very well spoken and his morning after speech does well to inspire confidence.

        Oh good, so now Truss can now piss off too the US and moan about the apparent conspiracy that was against her all she likes, and it won’t inconvenience her constituents anymore.

        And of course no one in the US will really care, because will have no idea who the hell she is.

            Yeah. She has convinced herself that her complete failure is a result of a grand conspiracy. This conspiracy requires some of the most uncharitable and profit driven people in the world, to be bleeding heart liberals, which is why no one believes it.

            Apparently a bunch of venture capitalists, economists and fellow politicians decided that, rather than making vast sums of money under her “brilliant” scheme, it was instead better to crash the economy just despite her.

      This is clearly a great result, but I think that given the popular vote, that it’s important to accept that this election was anti-tory, not pro-labour.

      Labour have five years to make a substantial tangible change in people’s lives or we may very well find ourselves back where we left off or even worse.
