Visiting family right now…my academic brother is despairing that Tory MPs are placing bets on how many seats they’ll lose as “Britain needs effective opposition” once Labour win otherwise “the extreme left or right will get power”. He also cited the lack of “effective opposition” as what led to “Britain being destroyed” by the Tories.
For someone that is a scientist and entirely defines his identity by his career, it’s kind of funny how little he understands long term trends or that having an effective right wing party is a bad thing.
Lmao Labour are really going to pied piper strategy Farage into Downing Street, aren’t they? It won’t happen this election, but as Sir Kid Starver does his thing, Reform are going to be so well positioned to capitalize on public anger
