But this year, everyone appears to be getting ahead of the game and relaunching themselves in December.
Maybe it's just that everyone has already had enough of 2024. It's gone on far too long and has all been a bit underwhelming. Westminster itself is limping on to Christmas. While Jess Phillips was introducing a stalking bill, all the Tories wanted to talk about was Labour giving back the Parthenon sculptures. Which they haven't even said they are going to do.
But no matter. Every time the Greek PM comes to the UK, the Tories can't help losing their marbles. This time, it was shadow culture minister Saqib Bhatti accusing Labour of giving in to the "radical left" by even thinking of loaning the sculptures back to Greece. It's a matter of principle for the Tories. Taking the moral high ground. Because any country that allowed us Britons to ransack their heritage a few hundred years ago clearly couldn't be trusted to look after their own treasures.
