And the past 10yrs have been...............?

The lot of them are useless. I include Corbyn, May, Farage, Johnson, Abbot, Rees-Mogg, the whole lot of them.

I know it's probably my age but I look back at some politicians and feel so down about the ones that are about now. The ones I look back on aren't always ones that I agreed with but they had their own beliefs and stood by them.

So very few of them about these days. I'd say Dennis Skinner is one and Bill Cash is another. I disagree with Cash but he has kept faith with his Brexit views and I can admire that. Skinner is an old style socialist and I admire him so much for donating a lot of his mp's pay to the miners strike fund.

It's a pity there aren't more like these about.

I thought it was a work of pure fantasy and hypocrisy.

Magic money tree anyone? A promise to raise public spending and increase borrowing on house building without any explanations of where the revenue will come from? Even Labour have actually costed their spending plans.

Talking about how wonderful the UK is, a place to where people from pakistan can move and become bus drivers and their kids can then be Home Secretary (while neatly forgetting that she's about to stop this very thing from happening). About how brilliant that a 2nd generation windrusher is in the cabinet (avoiding the fact that she was responsible for denying UK citizens their rights who were part of that generation as part of her hostile environment, and refusing to apologise for the human toll of her egregious treatment of those people).

Talking about how terrible Labour's anti-semitism fallout has been (true) but forgetting (conveniently) that her own party has supported Victor Orban (an actual anti-semite in charge of another EU country who they protected from EU sanctions).

Talking about the Tories being a party of unity, glossing over the fact that the Tories have been responsible for the biggest division of our society we've seen for a thousand years. The country is divided along stark lines (more like trenches) of leavers and remainers, young vs old, rich vs poor, 'kippers vs migrants.

There was zero substance, just delusion and hubris designed to keep her alive for a couple more weeks and to keep Boris et al at bay. It may have succeeded in doing that but it was not a good speech if what you want is policy or direction on Brexit.
