The elections in London next month are meant to be very poor for Labour. But probably not as cataclysmic as the local elections in 1968, where even boroughs such as Islington (!) went Tory. Devaluation of the pound in 1967 was one of the reasons for such an implosion.

So Jenrick's Reform will be keeping the Blairite monetary policy framework (BoE Independence), the Cameroon fiscal policy framework (OBR) & at least 1 of the 2 key fiscal burdens (triple lock & NHS spend). Basically, Reform now rejects almost any reform of macroeconomic policy.

Desireless: Voyage Voyage (1986). A certified synth-pop Eurobanger, Voyage Voyage bucked the trend of French singles struggling in the UK, getting to No.5 in the charts in 1988. That's two years after its release, but the song seemed to drift into the charts across Europe at many different times between '86 and '88. Claudie Fritsch-Mentrop, aka Desireless, is still performing and (fun fact) she was born on Christmas Day to boot!
