It’s the start of the new year, but while my instinct is always to be positive, it’s hard to feel optimistic under our current political regime. I’m far from alone, a recent You Gov poll found that most voters saw Labour as “incompetent” “dishonest” and thought Starmer will fail at all six of the latest milestones he has set for his government (no, I can’t remember what they were either, or the ones he didn’t meet before that).
Even worse is watching the country having to deal with the fall-out from Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ wrecking-ball budget that is harming business, lowering employment levels and driving entrepreneurs to the wall, not to mention decimating the British farming industry.
