I think you sum it up pretty well there, DO. Starmer seems devoid of passion. People keep voting Tory because the alternatives seem worse to them.

Jinny, are you saving them to write a book? let me know when it is being published, sounds like my sort of read.

Nice post, Hawk Wing.

You echo my feelings - until next spring then.

Excellent post, jinny.
