I thought Labour would fix everything. I was wrong Britain has become ungovernable By Andrew Marr
Let's be absolutely honest about this. We are all hoping that they are saying one thing before the election and will do something different afterwards, because we all know - we look at the numbers, and we look at the taxation take and we look at the strategy, and we know that they are going to have to do radical things if they are going to be a successful government, that they are not talking about now for electoral reasons. So in a sense, we are all complicit in a certain dishonesty in British politics. We are complicit. We think that they're going to do more than they say they're going to do now.
On the left, Marr today saying that the dog ate his homework and Britain can’t be governed. On the right, Marr on the NS podcast in late 2023, saying that the lobby hacks were bullshitting the public because they assumed Labour were lying, and they might be smarter and more capable than they looked.

"When the Americans arrived in Korea [in September 1945] they refused to work with the People's Committees. Instead, the United States military worked with the Korean Democratic Party, which consisted mainly of the landlords and the collaborator class." - Kevin Gray

There has been plenty analysis of the Tory crisis at a journalistic level but @philbc3.bsky.social explains the longer term historical and sociological challenges facing the party of Britain’s ruling class. Essential listening from @poltheoryother.bsky.social. open.spotify.com/episode/0BCp...

I sat down with @poltheoryother.bsky.social to talk about
the demise of the Tories and how a comeback is exceedingly unlikely.

"Reform is making inroads with business. The most recent Electoral Commission filings show new cash donors from the financial world, once the Tories’ preserve."
