'At Last I'm Free' Steve Baker Loses His Seat to Labour

​@@errolgrey9210 Definitely. Especially when considering the fact that he basically blamed Winston Churchill twice there for him losing his seat (first, because Churchill was one of the main figures behind the National Insurance Act of 1911, when he was in the Liberal party; and second, because when Churchill was elected in 1951 he did not reverse Labour's welfare-related laws, like the NHS)

Now, after losing he says he's relieved that he's no longer an MP. Where is the principle there? You must be incredibly naive if you believe him.

@@chrisparnham should he have given up trying ? You cannot go into a competition assuming that you will fail or you will fail. I don’t think he said he was relieved. He said he was free.

The conservatives need to accept they lost not because of woke people, not because of young people, not because of poor people, immigrants, LGBT folk. They lost because they didn't meet the needs of the people and the country, they failed to boost economy, they failed to maintain people's living standards or at least mitigate harm from inflation, they failed to cut funding to the NHS which many elderly rely on. They have failed to create council housing, they were letting prisoners out early because they did not fund properly abd did not try rehabilitation poverty also drives crime. It's their decisions that lead to downfall they can't blame others. Had they mitigated cost of living by providing financial support to those struggling, price caps on energy bills created council housing years before.
