The remarks, made during a Saturday speech at the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference, echo how the former president has described his reelection campaign, urging voters to see him as their avatar. "In 2016, I declared: I am your voice. Today, I add: I am your warrior. I am your justice," he said in March.

The legacy of this Labour Govt, regardless of when they finally shuffle off, will without doubt be one of abject failure. Driven by an ironically named 'progressive agenda', almost everything they have touched has resulted in calamity, and almost everyone they've effected has been effected adversely. At the heart is their aspiration for mediocrity. Whether it's continuing to penalise the most carbon-efficient farming system in the world, or subjecting the wealthiest to an inquisition the rest of the population would violently revolt over, or the continued pandering to minority groups at the expense of the majority, there simply is no incentive to succeed.
