Fundamentally Much Better?

“We have to build a New State and shut down the Legacy State, with digital ID making people’s experience of that New State fundamentally much better.” While I revile both the horseshoe theory and most comparisons with the Great Dictators, in October Man of the Hour, Darren Jones, sounded like both Benito Mussolini and Mao Zedong.

Yesterday, Jones also repeated Keir Starmer’s reasons why the Opposition might have wanted to bring down a Government that was “giving rights and powers to workers, renters and the disadvantaged” while “lifting children out of poverty”, but pointedly not Starmer’s assertion that his was the first such Government in “generations”.

Be afraid. Be very, very, very afraid.
