Remember that episode of Black Mirror in which the prime minister was blackmailed into fucking a pig? Starmerism is that with flags.
For a brief self-gaslighting moment, I tricked myself into thinking the plan was to get any unpopular but (for whatever reason) necessary policies out of the way at the start so people hopefully forget about them by the next election.
I think we’re well past that point now, and we need some pretty radical policy to combat the economic disaster we’re hurtling towards.

I remember when we elected a prime minister had literally fucked a (dead) pig, David, Cameron.
