• To say it’s a fucking shambles is an understatement. An old family friend is involved in organising the COBR meetings and is incredulous at how long a gap there had been between their meetings, it’s not like the virus had fucked off. This is coupled with a cabinet who don’t meet, and thus aren’t briefed so just turn up and wing it when talking to the media, the icing on the cake is Boris Trump just spouting whatever he feels his base or the media want to hear even if it contradicts the government line.

    When life long Tory voters like my dad are saying they’d vote for Starmer (this is not a vote for labour but a vote for someone with the intellect and leadership) it’s clear that things are fucked up. As someone who is outside of my media bubble it’s interesting to hear my dad talking about how he alternates between Times and Telegraph as his paper of choice and how both of them are slating Boris and the Tories for their handling of the current situation.

    This tallies with a poll I saw on Twitter at work today. Don't ask me to find it now but basically Starmer's approval ratings are doing well in Middle England.

  • His strategy of not mentioning the S word and being all a non threatening candidate clearly works.

    The lefties on my facebook are spitting teeth, but what is he supposed to do? I am hoping he's smart enough to get as much good policies through by rebranding them to make them sound not socialist.
