This is actually one of the reasons I don't think that the current administration will be able to turn the UK into 1984:
They'll be too busy trying to cover up the fact they have a foreign, militant entity they simply let in who has now seized territory and who the authorities have no power to control.
We are about to witness Labour copy the same leadership style as Æthelred the Unready in the 21st century.
2019 was Labour's worst defeat in 100 years and in 2024 their total votes actually went down. In the time when Tories went from 14 million votes (2019) to under 7m (2024), Labour went from 10.3m to 9.7m. Keir Starmer's own constituency returned him with 37k votes in 2019 but under 19k in 2024. Any suggestion of Labour having popular support is a lie.

I thought people in the UK were fed up with being overrun like this. How did Labour win?
Labour didn't win, the Torys simply lost their voters.
Looks at the numbers for labour from this election and the one 5 years ago. Iirc the turnout wasn't even 5% better.

Wow, I didn't know that. That is fucking brutal.
