Ok.OK, so one Labour PM in your timescale was Murdoch's child's godfather.
But that same PM led the country for 10 years, improved the country immeasurably and because of that, I can handle him being the friends with the owner of much of our media.
I would prefer a further left wing Labour leader, BUT I will abide with a centre right Labour party rather than a far right Tory one.
I prefer the cheek with less **** on it.The ease with which the filth cross the ailse to play for the other team just confirms that the parties are two cheeks of the same ****.
I guess we get the government we deserveI prefer the cheek with less **** on it.
NHS, Education was immeasurably better.Blair did not improve the country immeasurably. He improved it very slightly in some ways while accelerating all of the fundamental issues that have plagued the UK since the 80s. He is also a war criminal partly responsible for the deaths of millions of people, the destabilisation of the Middle East and the all the carnage that followed.
Also, if you're fine with the owner of a multinational media corporation owning our PM then I'm at a loss as to why you're upset about the tories in the first place. Sounds like the party for you.
Poor Boris. He suffers from incurable elitismYou couldn't make it up, as they say...
- Boris Johnson turned away from polling station after forgetting to bring photo ID
( Former PM made the requirement to bring photo ID a stipulation of the Elections Act in 2022 )
Did he forget, or did he think he was above the law? Surely not.
Apparently so. But just in case there's still anybody out there that doesn't think he's a complete noble:So, did Boris go home, get his ID, and return to vote?
A little better. They still tried to run both like they were private equity, cuts for "efficiency" and so on. Nurses on strike. Hospitals that we will be paying for for decades under the protection of "commercial confidentiality".NHS, Education was immeasurably better.
Exactly. The same forces control both parties.War criminal, maybe, I certainly marched against the invasion BUT it was backed by the Tories and the Tories are now backing genocide in Gaza.
I suppose I must be a terrible cynic because this sounds unbelievably naive.Blair was not 'owned' by Murdoch, he pandered up to him because he still believed the mantra of 4-years earlier, "It was the Sun that won it".
I've got a PhD in cynicism but I concur with @Altfish on this point. Now we have the joys of social media I think things have significantly changed on the public influencing stage but back then I think the Murd*** press could, if not make or break a party's chances they certainly had a strong influence. Until 2018 the Sun had the largest daily newspaper circulation in the UK.I suppose I must be a terrible cynic because this sounds unbelievably naive.

I loath that rag I think it's the absolute worstUntil 2018 the Sun had the largest daily newspaper circulation in the UK.
True.Not in Liverpool.
Yes he did, but what a silly mistake for the Former Prime Minister whose government had introduced compulsory photo-id at voting stations.So, did Boris go home, get his ID, and return to vote?
It was a publicity stunt, he's not been in the news for a week or so.Yes he did, but what a silly mistake for the Former Prime Minister whose government had introduced compulsory photo-id at voting stations.
Or maybe he thought that such folks as he didn't need to obey rules? After all, he held parties during the covid lockdown.
I once read a description of Nigel Farage as resembling a "frog impersonating a scrotum". What a wicked thing to say.Perhaps you haven't come across founder Nigel Farage... Perhaps the most distasteful person this side of the Atlantic
