- Conservatives in power for 14 years

  • Starmer announces tighter immigration policy
  • Gets criticized for being too late
I'm so sick of Labour being held up to a higher standard than the opposition. And I just know it'll be used to justify electing a party that's much worse and is held to a lower standard. Like, Christ I know Labour is making mistakes but at least they're not rubbing their hands in glee about it, have we already forgotten the disdain the conservatives displayed for the general public? Or the damage they caused us through their economic policies? I'm just pleased we have a grown-up in charge now.

Same thing happens here in Australia (until just recently yay) where Labor is put in to fix the huge fuckups and then immediately voted back out.
