It's five to midnight here, the future looks bleak on the old continent, and it's very hard to believe we will be able to turn it around.

It's so palpable.

People who are familiar with the British electoral system understand that Labour did not win the last general elections by a landslide, but it's actually the Conservatives that lost by a landslide. This is why they don't expect anything good from "two-tier" Keir, and feel vindicated every day that passes.
