Current Affairs The Conservative Party

Here to post the same thing as it's just hit the 1 o'clock news, evidence he's lied where he isn't allowed to. Oh joy, oh goody, oh this is going to be good. Nearly the best bit is that sunak's had his fixed penalty so is guilty as sin along side his prime minister whilst chancellor so up to his knee high neck in it.

Build enough houses of cards and the fallout is significant. Piece of cake your way out of this alright jacks!!!!

awaits Petblues, " it's only a pint of beer or there all the same" remarks and remember him being almost orgasmic when Sir Kier was charged, but not so when he was rightly acquitted. lol

My better half goes crazy when they have vox pops in the streets of our towns and some arl eejit says Oh well Boris is a loveable rogue isn't he?
I laugh because I know it'll end in tears.

Matt Hancock is popular ain't he? Torygraph going batshit because they were all anti-lockdown. Everyone else because he's a massively untrustworthy ferret.

Good old Boris, he’s a lad isn’t he……

Good old Boris, he’s a lad isn’t he……

Shameless.

It’s embarrassing that he keeps trying to get the Premiership. That he is supported in this personal indulgence is par for the course.

I think he’s put that behind him tbh, he doesn’t need the grief. He’ll do a Blair and make a fortune doing speeches ……

I think so, he tested the waters though.

Blair slayed the Orange Order and oversaw the GFA.

Johnson isn’t worthy of the comparison.

This is the thing I don’t get, I haven’t heard from one normal person that has benefited from the tories being in power.

Happy for any of the Tory voters on here to tell me how they’ve benefited. It seems only big corporations and Tory donors are the ones who did, and that is a tiny minority.

My understanding is that it's not so much the benefit of the Tories for ordinary folk (we all know there is no benefit), but the assurance that Labour don't get in and this stems from the remembrance of the Labour govs from the 70s.

This is why mainly older people vote Tory because they were adults in the 70s. And it's as tribal to some of these oldies as it is to me wishing LFC success - it is NEVER going to happen.

That's how my 70-year-old Lib Dem voting Da describes it, so it's probably tosh, tbf.

All the revelations about the Tories during lockdown shows they have no morals, standards or competency.

Hopefully these clowns don’t get a sniff for the next 3-4 elections as they deserve to get annihilated of the political map

The problems of the 1970s were as much under Heath's tory gov as any other. It's the Callaghan gov of the late 70s that the popular press keep demonising.
The turning factor of the 70s was the abandonment of the gold standard in 1972.
Followed by the miner's strike, electricity shutdown, petrol rationing and general shortage of materials for manufacturers, all took place with a Conservative government.
Wilson and then callaghan took over and it all resulted in the winter of discontent. That's what the tories want us to not forget.

Isabel Oakeshott is an absolute 'kin ming as well.

Interesting that all the talk at the start of the week was about NI and hammering Brexit, but all of a sudden it's back to Covid and throwing some current back benchers under the bus.
