Good to see a web archive being referenced @archive.org

Well, this (from two years ago) did not turn out to be wildly inaccurate web.archive.org/web/20230901...

All incoming Labour governments tend to generate frustration as pent-up social demands collide with competing priorities and the grindingly slow business of bringing about noticeable change. But these challenges would be of a different order in the mid-2020s. Expectations about what government can achieve may have declined, but any political protection this offers is more than offset by the sheer scale of the task of keeping the show on the road.
