What really surprises me is what 25%+ of the electorate, according to the polls, will put up with. Has nobody noticed that Sunak cancelled HS2, the biggest infrastructure programme for decades, without even giving Parliament a say and then acted to make the decision irreversible? And the sheer scale of corruption and malfeasance in public finances?
As for finding fault - they seem to seize almost any opportunity to look worse. Sunak's idiotic response over the Parthenon marbles being just baffling.
By all accounts Starmer is also reluctant to advocate handing them over but at least he seems more polite about it (I understand his desire not to give away anything that could give the Tories any possible kind of ammunition but his reluctance repeatedly to fail to stand up for what is obviously right is beginning to annoy me).
The Greeks are serious Anglophiles, apart from this and the ones who have to put up with drunk English tourists. They are quite perplexed I think about the English attitude over the marbles particularly since they have built an outstanding museum with a big space in it to house them - the excuse for years was that they were better looked after in the BM.
My favourite politician of the moment is Richard Tice. Heaven forbid he should ever get any control but he seems determined to completely stuff the Conservative party:)
