The most ardent admirers of Rishi Sunak would concur that May 22, 2024, wasn’t the happiest day of his life. The British prime minister declared that he was holding a general election, forcing voters to choose between his Conservative Party—also known as the Tory Party—and the opposition Labour Party when he was outside 10 Downing Street, his official residence in London. Unfortunately, Sunak didn’t seem too confident when he made this remark because it was pouring rain at the time. The message was backed with D:Ream’s song “Things Can Only Get Better” to further depress him.
Tony Blair, their captivating leader, is running for the General Election.
Voters would not have sought to recall that outcome, according to Sunak. In actuality, Labor had nothing to do with the song being played on this particular date, nor did it indicate that the party would win. However, Steve Bray, an anti-Tory activist, was at the end of Downing Street, playing Things Can Only Get Better through a portable public address system. The day I heard the rumour that he was going to call an election, Bray broke the news with a certain delight, and I thought, What better song to mock him with? I was telling the Tories that their time was up and that things could only get worse, not that I was genuinely endorsing Labour.
