Can we all just agree that after 14 years of Labour saying the’d do a far better job at running the country than the Tories, we gave them a go, they’ve proved to be just as shit so can we go back to the Conservatives who always seems far more supportive of me and my family.

I'm worse off now than I was 3 years ago...
Change isn't always a good thing.

Sure, but bouncing between one group of empty suits in red ties and another in blue ties is how we ended up here.
Everyone is worse off.

Agreed...
So lets leave the empty suits with blue ties run things and stop bouncing to the red ties thinking it will get better.

It's messing it up for people renting too as so many landlords are leaving as you get a much better return elsewhere.

Even the big landlords around my area are selling up. The ones who owned loads of private lets for decades are pulling out and getting into commercial instead.
One irony of the renters rights bill is that it’s resulted in a large hike in private rents, because the landlords are aiming high with room to haggle down in needed.

At least we've stopped pretending the sensibles care about anything more than self interest.
