Absolutely Fantastic

As always when policies fail to produce the desired results, the blame lies not with the judgement of policy-makers but with the pessimism of everyone else. On a purely theoretical level, it's difficult to combine optimism of the will with pessimism of the intellect when the intellect happens to be that of the British political class; but there are also pragmatic concerns about the continuing lack of growth in the economy despite Team Starmer's commitment to the welfare of the tax-dodging community abroad and dedication to maintaining deprivation levels at home. According to Rachel Reeves, fourteen years of Conservative rule have left us with four of the best universities in the world and unbelievable (sic) strengths in all the best areas; the trouble is apparently that the Conservatives were too apologetic and too polite, while the rest of us are too resistant to Change™ to have modified with due promptitude this unfortunate posture. As always, the answer is more rah-rah and less doing Britain down, and in the Trumpster and his head-tribble the CTRL-C CTRL-V Chancellor has made the inevitable choice as to our proper and fitting models.
