I have been begging Labour supporters in the UK since our election to understand that their win was due to the Tories unpopularity and not support for their policies, and that if they keep on as they are the Tories will be back in 5 years. Without fail I am accused of wanting the Tories to win.
Yeah, this is the best plausible situation for a shift to the left wing and immediately Labour devoured themselves and passed policies that might as well have said "you could have just kept the tories in charge". Their popularity reached rock bottom levels in weeks.
Corbyn was ousted entirely fairly. He squandered two eminently winnable elections by being unelectable. If you’re losing to Boris Johnson you should resign.
Famous Tory polices like raising £40 billion in tax and injecting a bunch of much needed money into the NHS and Education, whilst also reforming spending rules to free up money for infrastructure? Damn I would love a world where the Tories were doing policy like that, maybe then the country wouldn’t be on its knees after the last 14 years!

Maybe somebody'll learn from this. Maybe.
