“People in Britain today are angry: not just disappointed, not just disillusioned, but angry. They are angry at the state of Britain; angry at the total absence of leadership; angry at the absence of vision; angry at the hypocrisy and double standards; and they are angry at the incessant incompetence of a Government they no longer respect and increasingly despise.”
~ John Smith (then Labour Party Leader). 1993.
And tragically, his words of wisdom (aimed against the Tory government) could equally apply to Keir Starmer’s government of today.
