I really hope this is the beginning of a turn back to better days for the UK.
The cost of living and life in general have consistently gotten worse under the Tories.
Oxford street with closed stores in my lifetime is something I would never had imagined.
I hope that this is a sign of things to come for America. That one day folks will wake up and go “You know who haven’t governed in a generation”?
I remember staying up all night watching the referendum thinking there is no way that Leave would win, not knowing all of the moving parts of the machine that led people to lose all common sense in how important the EU was to the UK’s standing.
Hubris was downfall of Cameron for agreeing to the referendum in the first place, just like Republicans allowing people to take Trump seriously at the time in hopes that he would focus on their opposition.
Hubris destroyed the Tories from Johnson to Truss to Sunak, each leaving things worse for the next one. It’s mirrored in the hubris of how the GOP continues to race to lose voters to satisfy their base yet think attempt to go to Washington and do anything but impede progress without losing their seat the next time around.
I’m grateful the UK has an opportunity to fix things (although I feel things never shook out fairly for Corbyn, and at least he was vindicated last night), and I’m hoping for the best.
