The best description of Chris Philp I ever heard was "a nose looking for a bum".Britons need better work ethic, says senior Tory MP Chris Philp

Additionally, I'm sick of these tossers telling thick people that British workers are to blame for the country's crap productivity. We work more hours than just about anyone in Europe. It's our haggard and chronically neglected infrastructure that's mostly to blame. It's not about working harder for longer.
All they know is the whip hand. truss was twuttering on about 'graft' and in the past few days some tory chairman of asda/m&s was calling for work from home to be abolished, and then half pint of attitude alan sugar coughs up similar. Punitive actions to further demoralise a workforce that's starting to ask if any of it is worth it.
The nightmare creeps onward, what next, lectures on the benefits of the family unit from boris? Of course the idiot media can't give these morons a pedestal high enough to espouse their claptrap.

Aah, diddums.
Karma playing an Uno reverse card on them after making everyone poorer. Shame.
Both the Guardian and Telegraph reporting cash flow worries for the Tories this past week so this hasn't just come from nowhere, and of course in polling terms you've got Badenoch refusing to commit to any policies at all still (for fear that adopting any position at all will split the party in two) which isn't likely to give them any sort of boost anytime soon.. Still, she got a nice picture today meeting the King, they can put that in the scrapbook next to the one Liz got.
Something else to get them really knuckling down under the new leadership - I did see it reported recently that former Business Secretary "It's literally impossible for me to make gaffes" Badenoch had somehow failed to register with companies house that she was now controlling the various Tory-controlled firms and their assets, going well over the 14 days allowed by law.
Oops.
So that cash from frank 'I don't like black people especially black women' hester has ran out? There's plenty more like him lined up surely... ?

Not really hypocrisy. Pulling the ladder up behind you and punching down is a central part of the Conservative identity.
It is, but that's always part of right wing politics. Be wealthy or influential enough and you'll escape the punitive measures doled out to the others. In fact, if you're amassed enough wealth or influence then following the law becomes optional too.
We're at a moment in history where, certainly in the US, they can operate like this openly without any pretence or shame.
That's what draws people to the right, they see a firm dividing line in society separating the haves and have-nots, and rather than want to do anything it or help those underneath it they'd rather make sure they sit above.
They describe anyone who opposes an increase in the burning of fossil fuels as an 'eco-nutter'. Another way to describe them would be highly qualified scientists who should be listened to. We've allowed issues that are settled in academia to become political hot potatoes thanks to insincere culture war vultures.
There is a reason the right wing dislike expertise.
