Where did they deviate? The fiscal rules and NI rise?
I guess they will always argue that they didn't know what they had inherited had such a big hole etc...which is kind of disingenuous but with a little bit of truth in it. Did they say they wouldn't change fiscal rules? As for NI they will always argue they promised not to raise taxes for working people...which I guess people will argue about till the end of time what this actually means and whether a pledge was broken or not.
But yeah, they gave no indication that they would do all this in manifesto...a bit of honesty pre election would have been nice, but then they might have lost!
With Spiritualized, I don't think the issue would be about making the noisier songs noisy - it's just whether the quieter ones are loud enough to avoid people being able to have an easy conversation.
I will call it for Harris and I think it will be at least a decisive win.
There are plenty of reasons for this, whether it's the abortion issue, Trump's terrible campaign, and so on.
But the one thing that has sealed it for me is the number of high-profile Republicans who have come out emphatically against Trump, many of them have also endorsing Harris - The Cheneys, Romney, Arnie to name a few. This is unprecedented. But I think that sensibility will also be echoed by a significant number of normal party members which will be disastrous for Trump. Many of them will not vote for Harris but will stay at home or go 3rd party.
