"Needless to say, Lansley’s reward for this act of destruction was a seat in the Lords. Establishment politicians like him are only ever allowed to fail upwards. A more fitting punishment would have been to make him an unpaid car park attendant at St George’s hospital."

"Either they maintain that they left the economy in fine shape and insist Labour are catastrophising, in which case they have to explain why everyone else has got the opposite impression, or they have to fess up and take their punishment beating. Not surprisingly, they tend to prefer the delusional cul-de-sac."

"So when he claimed that he hadn’t deliberately lied about the state of the economy, I was inclined to believe him. Because to have done so would have been to assume that Jezza knew what he was doing. Which he didn’t."

"It was still him, though: there was the trademark running of the hands through the hair, even if he does seem to have been cured of the arse-scratching. Has Carrie had him wormed?"

"In the same way, the Tory government that left office in 1997 may have presided over crumbling public services, but it could at least point to an economic boom. The government that looks set to lose office next month has failed on both counts. “Broken Britain”, it turns out, was a campaign promise."

"Rish tried to look casual in his too short, boy-sized chinos but his eyes are now dead. He’s done and seen things that no politician should be forced to endure. Most of them of his own making."

"It’s almost as if the Tories want to lose this election by even more than predicted. Who to bring out but the man the Tories themselves had concluded was unfit to govern? The man most of the country are happy to forget."

"That said, in the empty hours of this interminable death watch while we’ve waited for the Tory tumbril finally to trundle to the guillotine, I’ve been reflecting on the past 14 years, and how the worst government of my lifetime has been succeeded five times by one that was even worse."

"Our Vicky is something of an enigma. Often labelled as one of the higher-functioning Tory ministers without any evidence for how she might have gained that reputation. Other than not being Grant Shapps or Jeremy Hunt."

"The waiting lists were just a fiction. Pensioners were also far too well-off. Truly, Rish! was a man of infinite compassion. He ended by saying “Vote Conservative for a brighter future”. Yup, that will work. Because the present is so obviously shit."

"Yup, a country that once painted a quarter of the world pink now regrettably advertises itself as mostly brown – encircled by its own effluent and pumping it furiously through its river veins just to be sure. As metaphors go, it is on the nose in all senses."

"The prime minister himself, meanwhile, in a more mellow temper, would probably agree that two million quid is a lot for every asylum seeker sent to Rwanda; that in these straitened times there are as many better things to spend that money on as there are pounds in it."

"Sometimes you have to wonder whether politicians live in the same world as us. Breathe the same air, talk the same language. Almost as if election is immediately followed by a spell at idiot school."
