I didn’t realise that the war in Ukraine and Putin was over and forgotten about… or even that we lived in a world where we were only allowed to have one pressing current event at a time.

Yes. It’s rail strikes now. All instigated to justify and speed up the thousands of job losses that are imminent .
Are you open to the possibility that these things are actually happening concurrently, while being completely independent and disconnected from each other BUT also can affect each other when in motion e.g. a war in Ukraine can affect energy prices and also grain supplies to the Middle East and Africa and this can have knock on negative effects for us too, all at least some of which were unforeseen?
This is to say, are you aware that multiple bad things can happen at once without shadowy engineering going on in the background?

And what do you mean that it's been instigated to speed thousands of imminent job losses?
Who is instigating it?
What jobs, rail jobs?
Why?

It's much more complex than that.
We can argue about Communist affiliations and infiltration, if you like.
In the end, it came down to the question of who ran the country and The Establishment asserted it most definitely did.
It was fun watching Corbyn lead the Last Ride of the Old Order but in the end they were destined to lose.
As they will now.

simplistic I agree. But no less true from my point of view, although I was very young at the time.
Get brexit done was the major factor in the last election. Some rather interesting propaganda as well - going on for ages, get it over etc. Good way of avoiding the basic uncertainties and problems that would definitely crop up. People love a good slogan. Brexit was one and get brexit done is another.
Boris and the public. Assuming TV interviews are done fairly the get on with the job, the ukraine war and didn't I do well with covid does give him some mileage.
He's facing a lying enquiry but I think it is months before the results come out.
A number of his payrolled MP's are looking a bit unhappy. Some didn't bang the table when he went into a cabinet meeting. Same when he entered the house. His main ERG buddies will do what ever to keep him. I wonder why really as he is now tarnished as far as a lot of the public are concerned. They must think this will disapear out of the news and be forgotten - just as things like this usually are.
He's making rash promises as usual. The main ones will take years - if they actually happen. Latest idea on hospitals is send an ex army general in. The problem is crap management. The general will sort that out. Meanwhile front line staff levels are too low and some are leaving - pressure. Shortage of ambulances and paramedics. Talk of reducing specialisation in front line staff. Use oncologists for treating people with heart problems. There may be some scope with nurses etc - one of the ways covid was handled but there are specialists in that area as well.
Then there are the missing euro millions that were going to change all sorts of things. Where are they and what are they doing with them,
Brexit changes that we know about. VAT changes make little difference for major importers but with trade deals no EU tarrifs. Possible with out them too but VAT will have to be paid. VAT and public purchases from any area rather different. The other one, postponed is a change in food standards. Put off as it will increase costs - or so they say. What is it about really. Buying from anywhere and forgetting some production standards. Applying tariffs where these standards are lacking to protect UK's own production. Also allow GM in but call it gene snipping. I'd say other GM ideas will follow.
So far there appears to be nothing else that is meaningful. Tearing up all EU rules????????? Laws really not the various specifications. There aren't that many and in some areas specs have never matched the EU,
Do things that put more below the poverty line. Employment - I'd suspect there is a mismatch between available people and suitable jobs. Decide to spend loads to find benefit scroungers. Probably turn out to be like the same with the disabled. I came across some one back from war due a visit. He was scared. Would the person visiting be capable of accessing him - no. The people who were treating him - yes. Better to tidy up that end if there is a problem.
TBH I don't think it's just Boris - it's also his cronies. A different leader is needed to change that aspect. That a politicians view. This is probably why Cummins left. His vision was not going to happen. Seems some politicians feel the same.

Go back to the idea of allowing housing society properties residents to buy them. Do away with what could be seen as the modern version of a council house. Make up the real owners losses from general taxation or just leave things so that they aren't feasible any more. Higher rents or what.
Oh mess with mortgages yet again to allow prices to go even higher just as they always have.
2 typical sounds good with a number of buts. Add a tax reduction as well?
Increasing prices cause a higher VAT take in some areas - why not reduce it to maintain the same take. Other taxes too.

surely we could enforce the right of private tenants, to buy their homes from BTL landlords, at a substantial discount.
No reason why not, surely.

And who will compensate the BTL landlords comrade JohnDski???
remind me, who compensated the local councils when they were forced to give away homes they had paid for, and maintained, at ratepayers' expense, for much less than their value, to lucky recipents to buy their votes?
Are you on the verge of saying such a thing is wrong?

Good idea this, it worked so well last time.
At the first opportunity they sell up, drink the profit, then drop another welfare baby to qualify for social (subsidised) housing. Meanwhile the stock of social housing is diminished & in a very unplanned & inconvenient way . . . . House prices rocket.
