I will do a blog post soon, but my full expectation is that my enthusiasm for our politics is going to wane in the coming months. I'm not going to sit on the sidelines and snipe. I'm going to quietly pray it doesn't go as poorly as I think it will.
Meanwhile, US politics will be heating up in the run up to November, and I can be truly insufferable when I get enthused by their political scene. Like, they chose not to elect Kamala in preference to this mass chaos, for REASONS.

God damn, even my former MP (who I lost due to boundary changes) is out as Welsh Secretary. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cgrkv8e8l9qt?post=asset%3Af9d033eb-2aeb-4218-af5d-519a6c70eb49#post Some of the other visibly loyal Starmerites, like Lammy, Reeves, and Jones being ousted was to be expected, but I thought Jo would endure. Haigh coming back is a bad move. Healey back in defence will be good, if painful after his backstab. All eyes on who gets the Exchequer. #UKPolitics #UKPol
