My cousin just came back from Australia and was quickly saying wtf is going on here. There’s lots of issues but also there’s s a crazy sense of despair all around. We’re normally miserable but not this miserable!

I think the mood is bad because everyone knows we need rid of the current tories but (1) it’s probably at least a year away and (2) I’m not sure people are too happy with some of labour’s recent moves (they’re aiming for the middle ground and just saying nothing but it’s alienating traditional labour supporters) so there’s a sense they’ll be better but only because a clown using his feet to fire darts at a keyboard 10 miles away would govern better than this lot. This lot seem to care more about a rich person’s bank account, a couple of boats they’ve had many years to stop but can’t do anything about and trying a Nazi like scheme to send asylum seekers to anywhere but here
