Recently, I’ve taken to quizzing senior Tories about what they feel is their party’s big legacy from their time in government. Their responses follow the same pattern. A long pause. A sigh. “Well, there’s Brexit. And we can be really proud of what we’ve done with education. We need to talk about that more.” And then another pause.
This follows the old “northern powerhouse” approach of the David Cameron government, where city regions won more powers over local services, but it has its political problems. Talk to any Conservative in Greater Manchester, for instance, and they will be spitting tacks, not just about Andy Burnham, but about George Osborne forthat has made him, in their view, such an unaccountably powerful figure.
Probably the same as the LNP Coalition from 2013 to 2022…bugger all.

The Labor Party is in ‘ascendancy’ across AustraliaSky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says the Labor Party in Australia is in “ascendency,” after Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews led Labor to a majority in the state election. “There was a primary vote swing against him but at the end of the day it looks pretty status quo,” Mr Clennell said. “Overnight some of the results have gone even further his way.” Perhaps if the opposition had some interesting, dynamic, clever people things would be different. I wont hold my breath. Wow, just goes to show Victorians like to be treated like shit. Based on how much tax payer money this man has loaded up alone he’s the worst premier by a long shot. Well who ever voted for him hope you don’t need an ambulance anytime soon… 😂🤫 Painting Australia Socialist Red - let this generation suffer and fall so they can truly know and understand.
