Boris Johnson is a terrible prime minister and a worse human being.

But he is not a monster newly sprung from a rent between this world and the next. Twenty years have passed since the Conservative party first selected him as a candidate. Michael Howard and David Cameron made him a shadow minister, and Theresa May gave him the Foreign Office. Thirty years of celebrity made him famous for his mendacity, indifference to detail, poor administration, and inveterate betrayal of every personal commitment.

Yet, knowing this, the majority of Conservative MPs, and party members, still voted for him to be prime minister. He is not, therefore, an aberration, but a product of a system that will continue to produce terrible politicians long after he is gone.

MPs selected him because they would not risk the possibility of a smaller majority under a better leader. Winning mattered more than governing well. And the public often seems to share this indifference

I have loads of time for Rory Stewart. Would have made a good pm

Prick's ignored the only two emails I've ever sent to an MP. Not even a template response sent by the tea lady at the constituency office.

Can't see that informally being an issue with Starmer and Davey.

Hope so. Expecially if it means my mucker Sefton votes Lib Dem.

Lib Dems were 3rd here, Labour are the natural challengers now.

I appreciate he's not Johnson, and is a clearly intelligent and articulate man, but looking at his voting record? Not for me.

And actually there is an issue now for those who were somewhere in the one nation Tory tent about whom they vote for, there isn't anyone they can go for unless they happen to have a local independent who's likely a busted flush anyway. A similar problem the more centrist Labour inclined voter had back when Jeremy was running proposed foreign policy past the Kremlin for approval

Good reminder there that he is still a conservative, and he may not get my vote with his views, but you can at least envisage a proper political discussion between him and Starmer.

From what I remember he was the odd one out in the Tory leadership contest, by having decent arguments and some form of honesty and integrity. No wonder they tried to get rid of him.

As someone else above said: you may not agree with him on many things, but at least he makes a rational argument for his opinions, which is more than any of the creatures in the current cabinet can.
You can at least respect someone even if you disagree with them, but I could never respect any of the current government.

Also voting records mean very little in the UK due to the way our parties work. It would be much better if that wasn't the case.

Yep, undoubtedly he at times voted for things he didn't believe in (anything pro EU for starters). He also rebelled a lot which meant he was on shaky ground complaining when parts of the party rebelled against him.

Not going to be an easy week week with continued sleaze, Blackmail discussions with the Police and the prty picsabout to be leaked apparently.

Hopefully these Cultists Toriescan feck off soon and h=get soem adults to replace them.
No different to the Cult of Corbyn tbh... scum

Surely there must be a proper investigation about Islamophobia in the Party.
She states she was told she did not do enougj to speak out for the Party in their repudiation of endemic Islamophobia by the Tories.


So they sack her.


Of course they deny this. Seems illegal to me.

Guess what, the Tory Party deny this.

All these sitting Tory MPs who make claims against the Party over bullying, blackmail and racism they have faced are beong called liars and branded fantacists.

The Sue Gray report has access to the security logs comings and goings to number 10.

This culture of racism, bullying and seemingly criminality isn't in a Council or a Local authority it's at No. 10 ffs.

Really? Given how detached from reality some of the grandees of the Tory party are? And their confidence that they’ll never get taken to task for anything given their wealth and background? And the way they elected a leader who’s regularly used openly racist tropes and never suffered for it?
