@sargo_dy It’s nothing to do with public opinion, it’s to do with the fact that Labour MPs have been at each others’ throats over assisted dying and the Cabinet have been falling out over Chagos. They’re both a waste of energy for a new government that *could* achieve much if it knew how.

@longitude0 Oliver Cromwell briefly hoped that nominations from the gathered churches would result in godly unity and effectiveness in the legislative power, but he ended up with the rudderless "Barebones Parliament"...
