Fun fact, they started called "Great" Britain a millenium ago to distinguish it from "Little Britain," aka Brittany in France where the Normans were from.
Anyway, looks like Labour's doing great.

Struck by this statement from the memoirs of former Labour PM James Callaghan on being hesitant to run for leadership because he was … 64 years old, and had been in govt for 30 years.
He was the oldest of the five candidates for leadership by 12 years.

Turns out poor people spent a lot of money on tea and sugar *because they were poor* and that was their inadequate replacement for unaffordable things like cooking fuel, food with actual nutritional content, and enough calories to slave away over a loom for 12 hours.
