      Just heard some of Starmer's speech. Almost vomited at his waxing lyrical

            Just wait for those promises they can't keep.

              Rishi talking about an orderly handover with goodwill, etc, as though he is personally organising this, is a bit much. In the UK, a smooth change of administration is the norm (so far) and he is handing over scorched earth.

                Has much been promised? Apart from "change", of course, which could mean anything.

                  Much like the last Labour Chancellor and his "No money left" note when they were kicked out.

                    Not exactly true as the economy isn't tanked and actually on an upturn. The comments about orderly handover is just communicating the calm nature that the Brits show in transition to stop any speculation.
                    Starmer is still trying to decide which route to take to Buckingham palace. Once in post, he just has to deliver his manifesto and good luck to him

                      Rishi's first phone call before congratulated Starmer.

                            Public services are on their knees and water quality has deteriorated. More children are living in poverty and food bank use is its highest ever. The housing market is broken, both the private and rental sectors. That is the scorched earth. Labour didn't leave that kind of mess behind in 2010.

                              Those results are one thing I am really happy about - in fact, they got 9 seats more than they deserve.
