The fall of the Tory party

Seemed like you were agreeing with Ted's original rant. [...] Like why give equal focus on a hypothetical future Labour government when we actually have a lettuce-competing, fridge-hiding, government right here right now to get shut of first

Oh, maybe I wasn't very clear! There's every reason to criticise both with equal focus. Labour will have at minimum five solid years of a hefty majority, so if they're sticking with an outdated economic model in what will likely be an unstable, low-growth, high-inequality period it will have much farther-reaching consequences than some minor Tory's banal sex extravaganza, or Angela Rayner's tax affairs.

The Tories trash every public service, public endeavour, and public conscience they can get their hands on, and have set the conversation for decades — that needs arguing against at all costs, at every opportunity. Most media interviewers however don't raise the social, human or environmental cost of their policies in response, and sit happily in silence thinking that some pound coins have been spared under the guise of neutrality.

If we want to see progressive policies, critique is all we've got, basically.
