Who's here in May 2024! We're getting out of austerity with this one 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@CharlesTysonYerkesOfficial]

Starmer wants to continue austerity however

[@adamradcliffe17]

Here to share the shit out of this, it’s perfect!

[@user-kv9xh7hm2x]

It's all true Independence Day from the shit show

[@falafel4618]

Oh please, let them finish with 20 seats and never darken the corridors of Parliament again

[@user-zr6ee6lb9m]

Imagine 🙏

[@petyrkowalski9887]

Or less… Sunak, Braverman and Gove to lose their deposits and be beaten into last place by the monster raving looney party😂😂

[@RH-nk7eo]

They've gotten richer than you and I ever will. They don't care about losing the GE they've got exactly what they've wanted. Sadly there'll be no justice and no lessons learned. Another decade and we'll go back round the political cycle again.

[@pauln6803]

I dunno... I think all governments need a strong opposition in order to keep them on their toes. The Tories have always had wealth and connections on their side, so I think their fall into utter incompetence and corruption was more likely than Labour, but that's not to say Labour could not suffer a similar fate without the threat of opposition parties waiting to snatch their seats should the electorate become too dissatisfied.

[@kyorin6526]

If Labour get in, we need to push them very hard for "Proportional Representation". That will ensure that we never have this style of government ever again.

[@johnstirling6597]

This is just brilliant, everything packed into less than 2 minutes and oh so accurate and succinct. MORE please.

[@simonnathan7404]

And despite that, a good 5 seconds of it was spent on a pig fucking joke. Absolutely masterful work.

[@kyorin6526]

Sadly, I think there is actualy quite a bit that they weren't able to pack in....

[@caroltodd6691]

Fantastic this is what every one wants at work Tories out

[@maxpowerii7368]

i think it focussed little to much on Brexit and not on COVID and it’s devastating effect on the the Tory Party post Johnson. Apart from that otherwise brilliant.

[@vincentbrannelly8786]

YES , BUT WHAT A 5 SECONDS@@simonnathan7404

[@andrewjohnfillery5954]

Absolutely incredible. How it follows both the phrasing of the original song and the Tory timeline at once is just outstanding.

[@todaythebirds]

I opened up comments to write this... this is like the Sistine chapel of its category. (I suppose the staccato delivery of the original helps, but still.)

I am here on the 4th of July 2024 and I am going to be blasting this throughout the day to celebrate the defeat of the Tories!!! Happy Independence Day from the USA to our cousins in the UK! My best to you as you claim independence from the Conservatives!

[@jacksonmacmanus1001]

Lets get this to Number 1 on election day

[@nightingale6480]

"Let's go back to my place" is an absolute line 😂

[@Maerahn]

Okay, the brilliance of this cannot be understated. As a parody lyricist myself, I can confidently state *this is one of the hardest songs out there to parody,* due to its complex ryhming structure and erratic line lengths. To be able to do it AT ALL is a massive achievement - to do it to this high standard is practically god-tier. I take my hat off to you - and offer some paracetamol for the inevitable headache generated as a side-effect of such an achievement. 😁

[@erictansley2085]

Agreed - it is such a rare gift to make all these words scan. Reminds me of Dylan at his peak.

[@kaitlyn__L]

Swedemason is one of the original geniuses as this kinda stuff! He's never lost his edge. Great that he's getting paid to do it by Joe.

[@johnners911]

It's just amazing how whoever made this managed to get Liz Truss to remember so many words, all at the one time

[@pascaledowling6309]

😂😂😂

[@baldychan6896]

Just absolute GENIUS, and even more enjoyable after last night's by-election results. Just heard Greg Hands on Radio 5Live waffling on about 'it's not the election proper' but he knows the jig is up. They've run out of things to sell-off or ruin. Never forgive, never forget.

[@petyrkowalski9887]

The NHS is the thing they really want to privatise…capitalise and profiteer on sickness and the nations health

[@owenrichards1418]

I agree, but sadly, a few years from now, GB News and the Telegraph will be waffling on about bacon sandwiches and before you know it, the public will forget and put these crooks back in. I thought they were done after Thatcher, but no, here we are (again).

[@keithparker1346]

Still the NHS to sell off but Labour will do that

Even yesterday with news of Sunak ("Dr Death") funneling £2m of Covid cash to companies linked to his wife. Or a million and one other examples since the Tories took office.

[@Will-lc2lh]

@@coopsnz1Just as well we don’t have a mainstream communist party then. Conservatives basically stand for conserving their own wealth and serving themselves whilst keeping the poor down. You can’t really defend their level of corruption and greed.

@@toyotaprius79 The Tories would have taken us into Iraq. Don't get me wrong, I still hold it against Blair, but having the Tories in wouldn't have helped. And even if Starmer is only as far left as Blair economically, that is still 50 million times better than what we've had recently. Plus hopefully, maybe he'll be competent?

[@Zaquria]

@@toyotaprius79 You do know that the Tories voted with Labour on this?

[@darthwiizius]

@@toyotaprius79 Blair who also doubled the UK economy in 8 years, took the NHS to the highest standards of any health care system in the World, took education to the highest of any western country on Earth and the only to compete with S Korea and Japan while still delivering the second highest growth of personal wealth among the working and lower classes in UK recorded economic history. That Tony Blair? Fun fact: When the Tories came into power the UK economy per capita was almost 1.2 times that of Germany where now its around .9 times that of Germany, when the Tories lied their way into power the UK economy was on the brink of overtaking the German economy in outright scale where now we're looking like falling behind Poland on a per capita basis. And Labour did that without sending 1/4 of children into abject poverty or pumping shit and effluent into the rivers and lakes, did that without destroying policing or putting 8 million people on waiting lists for health care and allowing schools to collapse. That Blair? Or were you thinking of Lionel?

[@grahambuckerfield4640]

@@darthwiizius The Labour hard (not pragmatic there is a big difference) left never liked Attlee, greatest post war PM, nor Wilson (fought 5 elections, won 4 of them, brought major social change in education opportunities and let major reforms pass via his Home Secretary Roy Jenkins in a politically courageous move), Blair as stated via two landslides and a post Iraq 60 seat majority. The Tories could not capitalize on that issue. After Corbyn fell into an easy to see political trap, letting the vile, corrupt Johnson in with the biggest Tory win since 1987, the stubborn, thick old fool called it ‘a moral victory’.
