🗳️ A fresh start?

So my plan to stay up night to watch the election failed miserably 🤣

My last memory is of about 2am and I woke up again at 5:30am. That said, I’m waking up to some amazing news.

Not just a Labour victory - an overwhelming one - but some delicious results and the exit of some of the nastier and more feckless Tories. I also notice George Galloway and his divisive vitriol was rejected by voters.

It’s not all good news, however. Some truly dreadful people have kept their seats and Farage’s bunch of bigots have made gains. And where they weren’t actually elected, they came a very close second. How much of this was simply protest votes, rather than a systematic swing to populism - only time will tell.

I’m going to enjoy watching Labour settle into power, appoint their talent, and start to make a difference. Followed very quickly by an inevitable Tory civil war and they try to decide just how right wing they can be without actually actually wearing uniforms.
