Thanks James...I was asking Google Gemini about my observations on the labour authoritarian pivot from back in 2020 and then widened conversation to UK political science theory...and it linked up. It would have been better for country if I had been wrong.

it was his reaction to brexit which caused his downfall: authoritarian pivot 2020 (McSweeney/Glasman/Blue Labour). Almost everything is a result of that strategy including economic weakness (red lines).
