In case anyone still had any lingering doubts about the colour of the next government, last nightās by-election results should have dispelled them. Proper mauling for the tories.
The bit on actual government funding for schools needs wider prominence in the press
Report from a US whack-job conference
Itās always someone elseās fault isnāt itā¦.
Stark Raving Bonkers. As is the little rat sat next to her.
However you view her remarks, sheās dead right on thisā¦
āWhat has happened in Britain over the past 30 years is power that used to be in the hands of politicians has been moved to quangos and bureaucrats and lawyers so what you find is a democratically elected government actually unable to enact policies.ā
That inescapable truth is apparent every day in modern British politics. The people we elect no longer have any significant say in how the country is run; anything proposed by even the PM should be viewed only as an aspiration. Look how long it took to crowbar the referendum result into practice, or Sunakās flagship policy of āstopping the boatsā. The politicians arenāt in charge anymore, Starmer isnāt going to make one iota of difference to that.
Arguably given the conduct of the Tory party itās a good thing their power has been effectively limited. Imagine the deepest darkest pit of shit weād be in otherwiseā¦

Was she says is not a lot different to what many, particularly on the left, have said
That there is a cabal that exists to look after their interests at the expense of everyone else - be that Davos, the WEF or whoever else
If there really is this group then Iām not sure why she is so surprised they moved to protect the status quo - it is their entire mission to do so.
What she did wrong was not to hobble this ācabalā first before getting radical
That just goes to show how politically naive she was.

And, at his core, this is what Trump stands for.
To break the status quo, the Washington elite.
And why he is so popular.
But like Truss has not close to a tenth the brain cells needed to live let alone do the job
The last refuge of the inept and the useless - blame it all on the bogeyman.

The trouble with that argument is that itās basically surrendering a fundamental principle of democracy on the grounds that the status quo isnāt working as one would wish. Plenty of Remainers were perfectly happy to counter the argument that UK voters should decide who makes the political and economic decisions for the UK by simply ridiculing the notion of sovereignty and suggesting that the European Commission couldnāt possibly make a worse job of it than our own parliament. You canāt possibly know the motives of the organisations currently running the West, but personally I doubt very highly that they are benign.
For a given value of ādemocracyā though.
I still donāt understand why in this day and age we still have a first past the post system - The majority of votes in elections (across the electorate) are effectively wasted. I suspect itās down to the downright stupidity / herd mentality of most of the electorate who never think to question their āpolitical mastersā We end up with shit leaders who do what the party wants , which is not necessarily what the majority of voters want.
