I am not sure if this "free link" below will let you see the video or just a print out.
If you can get to the video, very funny commentary about the elections and the mood of the Uk. By "Video by Jonathan Pie and Adam Westbrook ."Jonathan Pie is a fictional newscaster created by the British comedian Tom Walker." FWI - I think it accurately hits several key targets including the character of right wing "populism". Better than the many analyses (that I suspect) will come our way over the next few days. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/05/opinion/uk-election-keir-starmer-boring.html?unlocked_article_code=1.400.WDSG.iXVL6ZG7IUII&smid=url-share ( https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/05/opinion/uk-election-keir-starmer-boring.html?unlocked_article_code=1.400.WDSG.iXVL6ZG7IUII&smid=url-share ) More seriously - Liz Truss & George Galloway do * not * get elected in; and Jeremy Corbyn gets in (good.. albeit he is a only a social-democrat, and blew many chances he had previously to make a difference - at least in my view). But more worryingly, so does Nigel Farage. The latter has declared himself "leader of the opposition: with 4 seats to his so-called 'reform' party. Ah well - 5 years of Sir Keir Starmer... Who did his best over his last period to viciously root out any even minor opposition to helping the financiers to 'get Britain back on its feet'. His Chancellor Rachel Reeves has given us and the British working classes fair notice - she has been rolling out the red carpet to big business. But this was a vote against the Tories not a vote for Starmer or the Labour Party. Five years... we should start the accounting now.
