That's very true, no matter which side you support. Once a government has had its feet under the table for long enough, they either feel they are untouchable, and will do anything they can get away with, or they know the games up at the next GE, so they don't care, and do the exact same thing.

Bit much to suggest people seek medical attention for mentioning Corbyn as a comparison. He’d have been much better than the current lunatics (Tories). It’s a shame we got Starmer as leader because no one can trust a word he says. The problem is we’re out of options as a voting public and the loonies in charge have dragged us so far to the right that the creation of an NHS nowadays would probably be laughed out of town.

[@sweeneytodd011]

Corbyn was an actual man of principles and a socialist, an actual labour politician and worst of all he was becoming dangerously effective in particular in motivating the usually apathetic youth with regard to politics. So he got replaced by a Blair type blue labour who will tow the global line so on the whole, red or blue, nothing will change and they will do as they're told because virtually all of our politicians are self serving, lack principles, backbone and actual conviction.
