Thats an interesting read Tred. Although I suspect it will be mainly 'preaching to the converted' Some of my friends, usually mild mannered and centrist are foaming at the mouth angry (bit hyperbolic tbf) with Starmer and Labour. Now I'm also pissed of with Starmer a lot but I see no alternatives. Feels like I and maybe many others have spent a long time voting for the least worst option but that could easily turn into a far right/populist govt sooner than later. Brexit was just the start of it, I fear for my kids/grandkids future.
