The Morlocks Will Be Right! - Don't Mess This Up

So as I post this, it's Election Eve.  The long awaited General Election that we have pretty much been clamouring for since the height of Partygate will finally occur tomorrow.  It's an auspicious time to do so, as the last GE to happen in July was 1945, the legendary post WWII wipe out for the Conservatives under Winston Churchill.  We pretty much owe the existence of the NHS and a tonne more social policies to that result.  So yeah, perhaps not the best thing to remind us all of when you chose that date, Rishi.

I'd joke about Churchill biographer Boris Johnson knowing this, but let's face it, he probably thinks Winnie won that time.
