      The UK has been doing plenty of good, just look at the workers rights bill, renter’s rights bill, expansion of free school meals, expansion of breakfast clubs, massive increase in infrastructure investment, banning single use vapes, massive increase in tree plantations, massive increase in green energy/nuclear projects, big increase in pothole-filling, nationalisation of rail, quasi-nationalisation of steel production, large increases in the minimum wage, restarting SureStart, ending the two child benefit cap, getting closer to Europe again, extensive Ukraine support, etc.

      It’s just that there’s also been a handful of bad things (e.g. OSA and other bits). And we all know what the billionaire-owned press and social media who are desperate to get the Tories/Reform in will focus on.

      E: apparently some people hate those things. But I think they’re pretty good.

      Don’t worry, our government will somehow manage to make everyone hate the idea then U turn on it in 6 months.
