How far are we off civil unrest?
Choosing extended austerity and pushing people further into deprivation. Promises to be ruthless with the welfare spend at the Spending Review.
Polls showing that no-one knows what the government stands for and that a large majority see no difference between them and Tory rule.
A sneering, smug senior leadership team pleasing no-one at all, as far as I can see.
Talks of a bonfire of red tape while Grenfell cladding still covers buildings 8 years on.
Rhetorical attacks on environmental protection and a horrendous disregard for Gaza both alienating the left as much as they’ve already alienated others.
Streeting undermining the NHS on an ongoing basis. A tone deaf leader liked by nobody, rapidly losing even the centrist appeal. A chancellor desperately trying to appease the wealthy but still loathed by them, and losing credibility by the day while punishing the vulnerable.
Where does this go? What signs are there of anything but drift? Will the summer pass without major demonstration?
