Voters are tired of Broken Britain and its failing administrative state. By Daniel Hannan in The Telegraph.

Voters are fatigued at the administrative failings of the state. Taxes rise and public services decay. We give more to idle working-age adults than we take in income tax from working adults. Our young entrepreneurs are relocating to Dallas, Dubai, even Dublin, their places taken by illegal entrants from backward lands.

English voters expressed their frustration by switching to Reform and (to a lesser extent) the Greens. Reform also advanced in Wales and Scotland, but the clearest way to signal contempt for the administrative machine there was to vote for candidates who wanted to break away from it. …

Labour’s policy of neglecting its old electorate to court minority voters has resulted in the loss of both groups. The party’s failure is embodied in the person of Starmer: flat-footed, robotic, incapable of either outlining his vision or adapting to circumstances.

Britain’s on the way down, Argentina’s on the way up. What would happen if they refought the Falklands war now?
