You are correct.
In my opinion the Conservative Party should have asked Nigel Farage to become leader of the Conservative Party in 2023 which would have prevented a landslide victory for the Labour Party in the July 2024 General Election.
The Labour Party leaders were not ready to run the U.K. and this has been borne out by the shambolic running of the country by the Labour Government. As soon as Sir Keir Starmer was elected Prime Minister he was looking for freebies for himself and his wife.
Over the years politicians in charge have been big talkers but when it comes to getting things done they all suffer from amnesia.
