Poll results in the papers today.
It’s another stupid thing she said because this government has ZERO political acumen (on top of very poor policies).
They realise that their doom and gloom comms has alienated the electorate, they realise that Trump is making his supporters feel energised and optimistic. And politics are more about perception than results. So they try the same (clumsily and too late). It is like Musk saying a few days ago X needed more positive content.
They are lost and trying to clutch at any straw.
They were supposed to lead a nation into finding new enthusiasm to fix things after 14y of omni shambles. They had 14 years to think about what they would do. I was sincerely believing KS had done his homework and was coming with a slew of ideas good for the nation, that he would hit the ground running.
Even when there’s no money, there a lot of things you can do to show you have a vision. Also, when you get to power, you become PM for the whole country, even the ones who didn’t vote for you.
What did we get?
“Tories this and that” (as if it was a surprise? Wtf were they doing in opposition to be so clueless???) ad infinitum
Ideological payback moves (Rwanda, reaction to riots, VAT on private schools, raping gangs national enquiry, etc.)
Self-destructive moves (freebies, Tulip, WASPI, WFA, etc.)
Shitloads of promises, milestones, key points, quangos = don’t know what else to do
They just not good enough. After 14y of opposition where they should have prepared, it’s very disappointing.
And because of all their disastrous PR moves, they have gone over the red line in terms of public perception. They have lost the majority of the British electorate and there’s no comeback. Even if they find 500 trillions or split the atom.
