Question for Labour supporters here, do you honestly hand on heart think is a good PM and is doing a good job ?
He has lurched from scandal to scandal, lies, broken promises, U-turns and now today
Surely he has shot his bolt

Hos parliamentary party are not doing as they are told that is the weakness- I don’t see any problem in him myself.

Anyone who replaces him will be even weaker.

Surely that's as much to do with the much larger % of the population attending uni in comparison to the 60s.

Probably but the people I knew would never got into a university most left school as soon as they could, that's they way it was.

I'm replying separately to your first point because I think it's very interesting.
I think people are more unsatisfied and that's leading them to be unhappy.
There is a constant message of you deserve better, but no can deliver it.

For 1st worlders, capitalism's goal is to convince you that consumption and consumerism will make you happy. The message is relentless. Eventually most people realise that it won't fill the void in their lives. The sooner you learn this lesson, the better your life will be, IMO.

Actually that reminds me of a good line in a Fr John Misty song....
From time to time we all get a bit restless
With no one advertising to us constantly
