You're yanking my chain with this bit, right?
You think Labour would be better?
Well on course for the Tories to claim the crown. Taking 9 weeks to elect a new party leader and leaving the country in a zombie government state at a time of a energy crisis for instance, zero actions, is inexcusable IMO. Only takes 3.5 weeks for a entire General Election campaign. Such inactivity has resulted in a deeper initial hit being ingrained such that any actions that may be taken will be in part managing a crisis of its own making. The worst current state of all G7 (and many others).
Covid management - the worst of all island nations. Paramount to a initial attempt to quarantine that lasted just days before opting for 'herd immunity' without knowing whether that might be less than 1% of deaths or 90%+ deaths. Intentionally exporting it from the NHS into the social care, resulting in many deaths, offering a clap for the NHS whilst social care were ignored (didn't even have PP in many cases), until the media prompted for recognition - to which they offered pin-badges (insults). Fundamentally the nations health security came down to a roll of the dice.
A open prison, with benefit, where migrants in boats are now met halfway across the channel and assisted in, no matter what their (often unknown) history, and where within that prison its a free-for-all, very rare to see a police officer, and where daily stabbings/shootings are increasingly just accepted as being 'normal'.
Highest taxation rates for many decades. Broken manifesto promises pretty much making anything they say as being at best dubious.
As bad as Labours history might be, the Tories are topping it in many aspects. So Labour being better? Yes, in respect of less worse.
