> Efforts to bring down Boris Johnson highlight divisions among the Tories, but one thing unifies them above it all: running the country in the interests of the super-rich.
There are very few good eggs from any of the parties. Genuinely, I can’t think of one off the top of my head.
There no good Politicians period.
This should be held up as part of the problem in British politics not that we have no good tories but the blame people put on them for labours defeat.
***Johnson was elected on a thin manifesto, which itself was largely designed to head off the more popular elements of Corbyn’s domestic economic programme—***
This is the problem for me Corbyn’s policy was not popular he lost two elections the last one by a landslide to a guy nobody had any trust in. Labour should have walked the last election they shot themselves in the foot it is no good blaming the Tories for Labours own problems.
You can complain all you want about the Tories running the country for the rich but it was a set of policy that the public voted for. The working classes as a group voted more in favour of Boris if that is not a clue Labour policy was not a million miles away from what people wanted I dont know what is.
Labour need to stop telling us the Tory party is bad “yes” we know but explain how you are going to be any better and prove you fixed the problems in your own party.
True. They are after all the ‘anti woke’ party and since woke is just shorthand for giving a shit about other people who aren’t you, it’s safe to say they are all selfish by their own admission.
I agree mate
Only good tory is a lavatory, and even then its usually full of shit
There used to be. Ken Clarke, Stewart, Warsi, Major, etc.
The Tories are mostly bad but aren’t a complete monolith of supreme evil like the Republicans for example.
They are however heading in that direction
>one thing unifies them above it all: running the country in the interests of the super-rich.
And Labour is unified by one thing: running the country in the interests of the super-poor and unemployed.
The overwhelming majority of people aren’t on minimum wage, nor are they billionaires, yet there isn’t a single political party that wants to run the country in the interests of normal, average people.
Of course there are.
A good Tory is one that is actually convservative.
Oh I don’t know. The dead ones are alright.
Not in the government at the moment at least. You could certainly get better Tories if you made it so the Tory party was more about fiscal responsibility and small government over lining their own pockets and stoking fake culture wars. There is nothing inherently wrong with being right wing but the current lot are putting the interests of the super rich above everything else.
Javid is a snake and should never be running the country. He has been quietly waiting for his chance to pounce, when Boris is down.
The same people turned on Theresa May.
David Cameron left us all stranded.
Boris was the only one who stood up to be counted when the country desperately needed a leader during Brexit.
The current economic crisis is nothing to do with his leadership and is a worldwide issue, which I clearly the beginnings of another recession. Greedy bankers never come into the spotlight when the shit hits the fan, when they are the ones who 99% of the time create the mess.
Cough nearly all parties are no good
Watching all the Tories go to the media and talk about “integrity” and “good of the country” made me laugh. They don’t actually give a crap about those things, they only care for their jobs.
If Johnson’s popularity and polling numbers hadn’t fallen so far they’d all be lining up behind him.
As a life-long Conservative I agree completely. Absolute corrupt shambles, can’t stand them whatsoever anymore.
If we got rid of them, Labour would still find a way to lose the election.
The boris smear campaign will start now the Tory papers will all make out all the sleaze was boris not the other torys it was a boris problem not a Tory problem and the daily mail reading public
Will lap it up thinking they are geting change
The title rings true.
Boris is by no means the worst of the bunch, wait till Grant Schapps starts making noise.
brits, take it from an american. in 10 years, probably less, they’ll be just like our republicans. the worst thing you can do is make excuses for them and rationalize their actions for them. they will stop defending themselves, focusing only on attacking others. don’t fall for it.
even if you naively want to give them the benefit of the doubt, you don’t need to be their best friend and greatest defender.
Let’s be honest, there are no good politicians
Do piss off with this left wing divisive shit. It’s boring. Last election the public showed that they prefer Conservative values (even though the present party are a shit show)
This makes me think. Are Tories generally unreliable and backstabbing? Some got promoted and still ended giving Boris the chat to resign.
Bevan summed them up years ago and they’re a lot worse now.
“…lower than vermin.”
*There are no good politicians.
There are no good politicians.
There are, the dead ones
The only good Tory is David Amess. 🤔🤔😉
There are no good liberals.
See what I did there?
Nice to see the country waking up
I guess a thread named there sre no good tories I’d always gonna be biased.. Only the haters are gonna put their two pence worth in
