It's not a fair comparison, because everything in West compares better to post-Johnson Britain :)

Britain has been in decline since Thatcher, but is not willing to accept it.

Blair, for all his war crimes, managed the decline fairly well, but it’s been clear to anyone with an outside view that Britain is a mid-power, cosplaying as a world power.

Similar to that geezer who always has the flash car and no money to pay for it, keeping up with joneses and going into perpetual debt for it, until nobody will lend any money any more.
