'But this time it'll be different!!!' the Starmer fans roar. No, it won't. All of this has happened before and it will happen again, and again and again, until people learn to stop trusting right-wing conservatives wearing red rosettes.

@MattPolProf Hope you're doing that in your Liberal Socialism book, Matt!
