An excellent summation.

And the point about Johnson is probably most accurate. He and the rancid Right to whom he pandered expelled pretty much anyone advocating morals or decency or rational thinking, leaving characters like Shapps and Reece-Mogg and Gullis and Hancock (really?) and Anderson (I mean, seriously?!) gaining prominence.

A coup which would've had the Mail-esque media squealing all kindsa conspiracy headlines had it been a left-ist Labour takeover.

Then to follow them with Truss and Sunak...well, any talent pool had obviously become just a slime filled puddle.

It won't be long until the scrap to take over the post election, 'Mad Max' style Tory wasteland begins in earnest, though. Probably in the next week or two. At which point they'll inevitably veer even further to the right perhaps even merging with 'Reform'.

In fact it might be argued the Johnson they cheered and hailed and applauded as he totally corrupted that party could've paved the way for a Blair length time in office for it's opponents...


PS: my device's auto correct wanted to post 'jailed' instead of 'hailed' Boris the Liar. Errr...

But that would make them racist.

And there're no racists on here. None. Zero. Not a one.

Infact it's a made up word.

Unlike 'woak', of course...

I posted a link to Reece-Mogg stating Farage should be embraced into the Tory party only last week, Ian.

Then re-visit the coverage of last Autumn's conference.

But anyway this is, what; you're twelfth contribution to this thread? Thirteenth, maybe? Yet other than a sentence or two barely paying lip service to how useless the Tories are, it's been an unrelenting taunt fest at Labour.

Nothing about the Lib' Dem's you've previously endorsed - to the point of repeatedly excusing their jaw dropping hypocrisies which in part brought us to where we are today, nothing about a 'Reform' largely populated by "loons, fruit cakes and closet racists" (though increasing numbers are being 'outed') and nothing about any other outfit either.

Meaning it's little more than a parallel of the 'End of Labour' topic you so enthusiastically began. No doubt struggling to type with fingers so desperately crossed in hope.

You want precise and detailed policy announcements? Well good luck with that. Not gonna happen. From any of 'em. It'll be an endless repetition of key mantras and vague aspirations instead.

My guess? You'll vote Lib'Dem' again. Probably saying it's the best way of ousting the Tory. Before yet another catalogue of ducking and dodging their countless failings. Or questions why you demand much more of Starmer than Davey. And amidst eye rollingly inevitable pension references and yet more anti Labour prejudice, of course.

All that said I really am flattered by the personal mentions peppering your posts. Thanks, mate. In fact I must be second only to Angie Raynor in your utterly unbiased and totally balanced observations...

Remembering our "Labour stalwart" friend 'Mr M' voted Corbyn in '17.

Before "casting him aside".

In favour of Boris the Liar.

Boris...the...Liar.

Then spending several years defending, excusing, or even championing the most corrupt and incompetent government in memory.

Which he's now "casting aside" in favour of...'Reform'.

Reform.

A party he can't differentiate from the BNP. Despite recently describing them as "vile".

Dubbing him the Lee Anderson of this forum seems entirely legitimate..

It started as a sardonic gag, but increasing numbers of respected journo's are concluding the early election is because Sunak himself has had enough.

Though rumours he submitted a letter of no confidence in himself are, as yet, unconfirmed...
