Boris undoubtedly had charisma and he obviously appealed to big swathes of the electorate but, at heart, he appears (very much like Trump) to have been more interested in the promotion of himself than anything else and had no real political ability and even less integrity. That the Conservative Party have continually eroded access to legal aid yet BJ has been able to get it speaks volumes. His "honours" list being accepted is a disgrace.

The real problem though -as others have pointed out-is the lack of a credible alternative. I had initially hoped that the boring appearing Starmer might prove to be at least a "safe pair of hands" but he has done nothing whatsoever for me to warrant putting much faith in him.

Politics in this country is, indeed, at an all time low and meanwhile the gap between the have and have nots grows, the economy remains fragile, the old bugbears of housing, education and the NHS remain big issues and no-one seems to have the bo llocks to stand up to the current dangers of cancel culture against freedom of speech and the extremism of the latest woke brigade who are emboldened enough to proclaim that trans women who still have a d ick are real women and that anyone who denies this are bigots. That graphic showing the confusing web around Albion's Chinese ownership (thanks for posting btw) just seems to reflect the general dire state we are in😞
