UK public trust low ==> the unholy blob trinity of leftie govt, civil service and MSM
The DS appears to be in full control of Britain on the surface. But the Labour "landslide" was based on votes from 20% of Brits. Undercurrent of distrust.
UK new Labour govt - "Now, we have a truly unholy trinity of a liberal-left elected government, a liberal-left civil service and a liberal-left media class."
And the MSM is orgasmic about the new left wing PM
The UK columnists have been in a state of erotic excitement. Literally.
‘Keir Starmer has turbocharged my arousal levels. I feel fruity’, screams a Caitlin Moran headline. ‘There is nothing more erotic to a middle-aged woman than competency’, she writes. Her political horniness, her thirst for competence, extends to all of Starmer’s new cabinet appointments, too: ‘All my friends were watching these arrivals as if we were watching Magic Mike Live. We were rubbing our thighs.’
'Jim'll fix it' superfans meeting (New UK PM was the public prosecutor who refused to prosecute multiple Pedo Sir Jimmy Saville. Saville was best friends with KC3.)
The deets: Labour had a landslide victory with 412 seats out of 650. Conservatives lost about 240 seats, with the gains mostly going to Labour and Liberal-Democrats (71 seats). There were also many stay at house former Conservative voters - turnout was down from 67% in last election to 60% in this one.
DS full control?
The DS appears to be in full control of Britain on the surface. But with Labour only getting 20% of the registered voters due to 40% of the electorate not voting at all, their "landslide" victory is hollow.
If DNV (Did Not Vote) was a party, they would be in power…
The DS UniParty is losing
Public trust low
Trust by regular Brits in each “branch” of the DS is at lows
Low Media Trust
Trust in the MSM including the BBC is a low point, with a net trust score of +22 (that is percent who trust minus percent who don't trust it). See graph below from the YouGov public trust poll
Low Govt trust
As for the DS warriors of the civil service, trust is low too. With only 45% of Brits saying they trust it.
As for govt trust "Fuhgeddaboudit"
Never trust govt, politicians, or the British constitution
1) A record high of 45% now say they ‘almost never’ trust governments of any party to place the needs of the nation above the interests of their own political party. This is 22 points above the figure recorded in 2020 during the height of the pandemic.
2) As many as 58%, also a record high, say they ‘almost never’ trust ‘politicians of any party in Britain to tell the truth when they are in a tight corner’, up 19 points from 2020.
3) 79% say the system of governing Britain could be improved ‘quite a lot’ or ‘a great deal’, matching the record low recorded during the parliamentary stalemate over Brexit in 2019. The figure is up 18 points in 2020.

The naked mandate and the British Deplorables
So! While there is a new govt in UK with a big parliament majority "mandate" to enact major changes, there is a huge undercurrent of dissatisfaction by regular citizens. Perhaps we could call them "Deplorables"?
Head of UK Deporables, aka Reform party, Nigel Farage has been elected as an MP for the first time, on a night which saw Reform UK take more than four million votes. (about 14% of the vote).
The party is on course to be the third largest party in the UK by vote share and has won 5 seats.
The system is broken
The UK has a "first past the post" election system, so small wide spread supported parties such as Reform and Green party, can find it hard to win seats. While nationalists parts such as SNP in Scotland, PC in Wales and the Northern Ireland parties concentrate their support in small regions and so win seats. see https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/7/5/uk-general-election-2024-why-do-some-popular-parties-win-so-few-seats
The distorted results of the First Past the Post system can be seen in these facts:
Reform: 4,087,236 votes, 5 seats
Labour: 9,675,006 votes, 412 seats
from Result numbers
The decline of Britain under DS Uniparty control seems locked in.
