Yeah. If I wanted to be fair to Labour (I usually don't, but if I did), I'd say there also feels like a competence difference. I do genuinely think that on basic keeping the wheels turning stuff Starmer is likely to be functional in a way that Sunak has failed to be and Sunak's predecessors very definitely haven't been since at least 2016. Tons of Tory MPs seem to be stepping down to leave the sinking ship, so I think it's fair to say they do know they've lost already.

I was probably a bit too flippant there yeah, I think that Labour will be more competent at the day-to-day functioning of government.  It feels like the Conservatives are scraping the bottom of the barrel for cabinet members after 14 years of scandals, reshuffles and controversies.  I also don't think Labour will be selling the country off for parts in the same way, but it's still difficult to get excited for Change that looks to be more "things won't get worse" rather than "things will get better".
