Classes in tents because schools are crumbling. Millions of insured people waiting for medical appointments ... ... ...
After 13 years of Tory government, Britain is staring into the abyss.
And Prime Minister Sunak? Drumming out right-wing populist slogans.
And what else do you hear: the Tory party has entered the Trump world of alternative facts.
Had to dig to find a place to post this:
As this thread has been bumped up I might as well continue election coverage over here.
The Tories are doomed, people are talking about Canadian style wipouts that would leave them with less than100 seats.
Sunak has had an awful election campaign, screwing up on almost daily basis.
His latest was to leave the D day commemorations early, leaving Cameron to be photographed next to world leaders.
This is the one thing guaranteed to infuriate Tory voters.
Frog face Farage is making the most of it, including racist dog whistles about Sunak not understanding our culture.
When questioned, he doubled down saying that he recognised thecontribution of "Commonwealth forces" during WW1 and 2, and it was Sunak's wealth and privilege that made his lack understanding.
His supporters know what he means, it's because Sunak is an effing P word.
So all good for Froggie.
Diana Spencer's brother is in the news over his latest book.
He claims Charles said people would forget about Diana soon enough.
He also said the press are treating Meghan and Harry the same way they did Diana.
I'm sick of the wealthy and privileged whining about how difficult life is.
Diana was a vacuous aristocrat who went to an exclusive Swiss finishing school with two or three pupils in a class but she did as well as meatheads in the bottom set of a rundown state comprehensive school.
He son has done nothing but moan about how hard it all is while his wife walks round with a face like a smacked arse.
I just wish they'd **** off, because I'm sick of hearing about them.
Here's something for those interested in legal minutiae.
At one point only Protestants could stand for election in the UK.
When the law was changed to permit others to stand there was a caveat.
The prime minister is involved in the selection of Anglican bishops, and the caveat was that if the PM was Catholic or Jewish he would not be able to have an input.
That law is still on the statute books.
Until now.
Andy Burnham is the first prime minister that would affect, he's Catholic.
Disraeli converted to Anglicanism and Tony Blair only converted to Catholicism after leaving office.
This law only concerned Jews and Catholics, meaning Rishi Sunak, a Hindu, and Kier Starmer, an Atheist, both were able to give input.
The inaugural sitting of the North Rhine-Westphalian State Parliament 80 years ago.
And so, the 2026 State Prize of North Rhine-Westphalia goes to the people of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
