I'm a bit more hopeful (only a bit).
With the Labour Party hogging the centre ground, and the Tories all but being wiped out, I'm looking for the press to have a longterm love-in with centrist Labour, leaving Tice & Farage to blather away to a very small audience.
This scenario leaves room for more exposure for the Greens on the left of Labour. Their time must surely come!
Gotta hope haven't you?

"Always" is getting some heavy lifting here!

Until Thatcher in the late 70s /early 80s became infatuated with Reaganomics there was very clear daylight between the business orientated, middle class, Conservative party, and the worker & trade union orientated, working class, Labour Party that was largely composed of people who had experience of 'working life'.

Neither party have ever been squeeky clean, but until Thatcher I personally believe they had the best interests of the people & country in their own separate visions.

It's only in very recent years that the British Conservatives have aligned closely with American conservatives (note the C c difference). The reasons for this are probably the subject of several books.

I rarely look at the everywhere - everything federated timeline - it seems to me that Mastodon.social has got a porn problem.
I don't wanna see that stuff (because I'm not 14 any more).

Duolingo is strange anyway, but Dutch #Duolingo is weird.
Why do I need to know what a Schildpad, Olifant and neushoorn are?
