Each offers only a mildly different serving of uninspiring neoliberal hellscape, with only your choice of authoritarian topping to set them apart.

The next general election: Two parties battle for the wretched voters of England
The reason both parties are fighting to be the most horrendous is that both parties are trying to attract the same voters.
Rinsed for profit
The NHS will be 75 this year. If it were a person, they’d have been deprived of oxygen and food for 10 years, had vital organs sold for 10 years previously with contractors finding out which body parts they could do without before that. NHS dismantling, begun by Thatcher in the late Seventies, later progressed
The Tories, Brexit and the English people
The Trussterfuck didn’t last long but the impact will linger for a long time. Rishi Sunak is now prime minister and things appear calmer. How could they not? But the appearance won’t last. The Autumn Statement is coming, and with it tax rises and public spending cuts. More strikes are on the way with civil
Farewell to Comrade Truss
Freedom can now exclusively reveal that Liz Truss is in fact an undercover anarchist who has been working for years to not only successfully assassinate the immortal monarch but also bring down the tory government from within with a killer blend of subterfuge, clowning and pitch-perfect comedy timing.

Death of a royal exposes weaknesses in the British establishment

Suddenly, the feudal backbone was exposed, with the BBC notably behaving like a state broadcaster in some absolute regime. The political parties ceased campaigning
This pandemic is political, stop pretending it isn’t
So, on day #38.5 of the quarantine, a lot of our only recourse for having fun is now arguing with people on social media. This has been particularly difficult, however, as the mass consensus outside of the Leftist bubble seems to think that tragedies, like the one currently occurring, are muddied or cheapened when talked
The Tories After May
It’s not unusual for a party leader to resign the day after an election. For a party leader to be forced out of office by their own supporters after the polls have closed but before the results are in is a little more unusual. When Theresa May announced her resignation from Downing Street on Friday
