This shambolic government - its utter chaos, the Tories were bad but Christ this lot are on another level.
Im really worried about where we’re heading, riots breaking out everywhere, the armed forces imploding, the police untrustworthy, we’re a laughing stock on the international stage.
Id say to call an early GE but I’m not a fan or reform either. At this point - I’d take the Tories back.
WTF is going on? I’m approaching 50 and I’ve never known the country in such a state.

AIBU to think we’re literally on the edge now? And what can actually be done to save it??

I am prone to anxiety so feel free to tell me on catastrophising

I feel the same. Worried for the future of my children in this country at the moment.

We’re not on the edge.

i’m 48 and I personally remember multiple years of riots.

we’re not (a total) laughing stock on the international stage.

there’s a disagreement about funding the army.
the world is not falling apart

Meanwhile Putin has probably marked us down in his calendar.
