I felt could you not even let us feel relieved celebration for a single day without starting with the doom and despair? and this post is the result. This, 1000%! And your friend makes an excellent point: the cancellation of those two items on the Tory agenda will make an enormous difference to vulnerable people, although it's absurd that they were ever proposed in the first place. I'll admit, I do occasionally feel wistful that we don't have a second Clement Attlee–figure who'd commit to making genuinely radical and transformative reforms to public services (although unlike much of leftist social media, I'm not sure Jeremy Corbyn could have been That Guy), but the new government is still a considerable improvement
You're very welcome! :D And I never had much hope for my seat going to Labour (it's a new one, created by taking the rural parts out of the surrounding four or five constituencies, so that it's predominantly made up of wealthy elderly homeowners), but the margin was still far closer than it would have been in a normal election year.
