The petition to re-run a vote we honestly had 10 minutes ago should be called “ The People’s Vote’ ? I can see Elon gullibly liking the title which has always implied that you do realise some alleged “people” already voted, but the result was something you didn’t like, so were they ever even people at all? Time for the actual humans to vote. I have launched a petition to forcibly sterilise all political movements.

Labour not being straight with the electorate about money during the election campaign always threatened to go tits up sooner rather than later.

Having said all that, what did Labour expect? We live in chaotic times where conventions and norms are disintegrating by the day .

Promising revolution via trivial cuts to taxes or services was always putting Starmer ’s would-be administration on a hiding to nothing.
