@nprofile1q... Alternatively, a history nerd from the present going back in time-

"Excuse me, what's the current date?"
"It's 12thy June 1914"
"Fantastic! I'm back in my favourite time period, the beginning of World War One!"
"...one?"

@nprofile1q... That's a lot of brackets.

Anyway, looks like standard operating practice for the current Government: do nothing, then maybe ask *really* nicely if someone else will do it for you.

@nprofile1q... The NHS part might be referring to private contractors?

@nprofile1q... The funniest thing to happen would be the Greens winning.

@nprofile1q... And what about those of us who previously opted out of being part of any central database?

@nprofile1q... I wonder how well that will work considering what would be normally considered to be the largest part of that alliance- Labour- is already in power and people are underwhelmed?

Given a blue-Tory government as in 2024 then The Devil You Don't is actually an option. Given the red-Tory one we theoretically will have in 2029, it isn't.

@nprofile1q... This feels like something I've thought before- we had 'something' under the Cameron-to-Sunak Conservatives and it didn't work.

Then, according to the press, we moved left under Starmer's Labour and... it didn't work. (Mainly because we didn't move left. In fact, we didn't move anywhere at all)

There's a good chance that next time, people won't want a return to the 'something' and will skip the Conservatives out of hand on that basis, and want to try the opposite side of it- that is, Reform.

@nprofile1q... Good thing animals don't just repeat their name, like Pokémon.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... You've reminded me Windows Phone existed and now I'm sad. I miss that OS.

@nprofile1q... Shouldn't be too long before we get the usual headline...

@nprofile1q... Is this the one where it's the Wales leader?

@nprofile1q... Amazing how it managed to ricochet to "reduce populism's appeal" from "literally enforcing populism specifically".
