Local elections

They are a centre-Right party. And it's important to recognise that.

Sadly, one of the consequences of having an extremely Right-wing loony Tory government for the previous 14 years is that we've all been bruised and battered, to the point we should probably be grateful that at least we don't have a bunch of lunatics in charge anymore. It still doesn't mean we've got the government we need though, unfortunately.

It's been a bit like swapping a really nasty STD for one at the milder end of the scale.

While a lot of those who suffered the nasty effects of that STD are throwing their toys out of the pram complaining that the new milder STD is somehow so much worse than the old one...

Unfortunately many of the symptoms of the new one are very similar, when a cure was promised by the very boring doctor. The continuing ‘politic bollocks speak’ from Labour has been the most disheartening thing. They just don’t realise the whole game has changed.

I believe Starmer is a very decent man, but wholly the wrong one for this. Farage United (which is all reform is) may well evaporate, but it’s a seriously dangerous game, and a more lethal strain of resistant Frogface STD may be the result. Wales will be swimming in the f***ers next year. I suppose then at least they have to show their arse rather than just shouting the odds.

If Nige himself is anything to go by - he's done about half an hour's constituency work since getting elected - then I doubt said arses will be all that visible. But I suspect for most of their candidates, that's the whole point. "Disrupting the system" and all that...
