I'm pretty sure that it could only be the Conservatives that thought that in the middle of a huge cost of living crisis, it was a good idea to make a big, unfunded tax cut for the already wealthiest, whilst sidelining their own office for budget responsibility in an absurd attempt to hide from the public how much unnecessary additional debt they were taking on and how bad the economic fallout would be, sending the stock market spiralling and forcing up mortgage payments for years to come.

Pretty sure it would only be the Conservatives who would think that it was a good idea to sabotage the auction for building renewable energy so that we continue to rely on expensive and damaging fossil fuel whilst maintaining, in a crazy act of national and global self harm, subsidies for fossil fuel extraction, and advocate for increasing the number of north sea oil rigs and fields.

Or Russia. Trump admires Putin after all, and Putin would welcome them with open arms. He's needing more troops for the front lines in Ukraine.

I'm afraid that Minister for Gender Equality is far, far more likely to be attacked as woke by the right than Minister for Women.

One of the first things they did when the coalition came to power was cancel the Building Schools for the Future programme, and the construction industry took a massive hit, resulting in an awful lot of pointless unemployment. This article claims that that stuff was exactly what Gordon Brown had planned. I'm about as skeptical about that claim as I am about anything that came from the holes of former Prat Clown Boris Johnson or former Presidunce Donald Trump.

The Spectato will always find time to blame Labour for the Conservative's catastrophic mishandling of the public finances.

I put them all in a plastic bag and hope for the best.

Ah and now you beat me in debate by writing a shorter answer without giving credibility to my main point by engaging with it in any way. You're such a winner.

You are clearly a Very Intelligent Expert and a Wise and Knowledgeable person, so I must bow to your greater, deeper and fuller understanding.

I was weak, pathetic and stupid for thinking that the safety concerns this raises were more important than the technicalities of this individual case. Please accept my humble apologies. I'm sure you'll have further corrections for my naive fumblings and I await your Academic Input eagerly.

I'm not sure that's an important question. In my view, even if it turned out correct, "This particular victim would have died anyway, so delaying emergency vehicles is fine" is a logical fallacy, an ethical error and a failure of empathy.
