It's quite impressive just how fast the duopoly managed to piss away support from the average Brit. Just a shame that they choose the party co-responsible for the Britain's 2nd worst political mistake of the 21st century thus far (the 1st being the Iraq War).

Even with not having the money they expected and not being able to end Austerity as promised, Labour have ignored easy wins and are defending an unpopular policy that their party didn't enact to start with. I honestly have no idea what's going through Starmers head.
