Is that just a me thing watching from abroad and people back in the UK are more fired up for this/have I just become disconnected from what's going on at home? Genuinely interested for thoughts from those back on the ground.

I no longer keep up with the news particularly strongly but this matches my impression.  Starmer's Labour seem to be hoping to gain power by being bland enough to fly under the radar while people are fed up of the Conservatives.  This is probably not a bad strategy, given the state of the press in the UK, but it isn't exactly anything to be excited for.  From the policies which aren't vague gesturing about Change, it seems like the main change we're going to get is the colour of tie the prime minister wears.

Capital have been trying to line up BC United (formerly the BC Liberals) and BC Conservatives (until recently three men and a PO Box) as one movement to defeat the centrist BC NDP.  The populist wing of the Canadian conservative movement is not having it. Part of the problem is that without an election, nobody can know whether the Conservatives can become the dominant party on the right (and whether you can do that while letting capital fell all the trees, mine all the minerals, harvest all the fish, move money in and out of the province without too many questions, and hammer the public-sector unions which is what capital wants in a provincial conservative party). https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/b-c-united-no-merger-1.7214326
