"Rather than developing a coherent policy, [the Tory government] chose to keep redefining extremism, to exclude the bigoted elements in its own base and focus instead on environmental protesters and peaceful campaigners contesting the unfolding genocide in Gaza. The police kept warning that the far right was the fastest-growing terrorism threat in the UK, but the government did nothing"
Excellent from George Monbiot -
"Britain had its problems in 2010 – not least the impact of the 2008 financial crash – but it had strong public services and a visibly improved public realm..."Broken Britain”, it turns out, was a [Tory] campaign promise.
Jonn Elledge catalogues 14 years of terrible Tory policies.Polling stations are now open. You can finally do something about it.

"The average public library... is now an informal citizens advice bureau, a business development centre, a community centre, and a mental health provider. It is an unofficial Sure Start centre, a homelessness shelter, a literacy and foreign language-learning centre, a calm space where tutors can help struggling kids, an asylum support provider, and driving theory test centre..

George Monbiot works for the Guardian newspaper, who helped to destroy the true Labour Leader, #JeremyCorbyn

“Yes, we put taxes up, but we hated doing it!” —Penny Mordaunt #ToryBritain #ToryIncompetence

A new report from the Institute for Government (IfG) says it is not plausible for the victorious party on 4 July to stick to current spending plans at a time when the performance of hospitals is arguably the worst in the history of the NHS, prisons are at crisis point, and councils are shutting libraries and cutting back on waste collection and social care.

“In his closing statement the PM made a series of other false claims about his own record, saying that voters should ‘choose lower immigration and lower taxes,’ despite the fact that he has raised both taxes and immigration by record amounts.” #ToryLies #ToryBritain https://bylinetimes.com/2024/06/05/leaders-debate-rishi-sunak-keir-starmer-vote-leave-style-tax-lie/

Tory MP “suspended with immediate effect” (she says she quit) now endorsing rival #RefUK candidate. #ToryBritain #GeneralElection2024 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0kkzv12wndo

It seems clear that the Tories’ #NationalService proposal is a dead cat ‘culture war’ issue, and blatant pitch to #RefUK voters, designed to distract from their appalling record on the economy, health and public services. #ToryBritain

This is what we normally call ‘community service’ and it’s a sentence conferred upon young offenders. The Tories literally want to criminalise youth. 😳 #ToryBritain #NationalService #GeneralElection2024 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpddxy9r4mdo.amp

This is an old Cameron-era idea recycled for the “young people have never had it so good” demographic. The truth, of course, is exactly the reverse. #ToryBritain #NationalService https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpddxy9r4mdo

“To see how far we have sunk, look into our rivers and coastal waters. Or rather don’t. Because they have turned brown with raw sewage. An island nation where we fear to venture into the sea, because the Tories have turned it all to shit.” #ToryBritain #GeneralElection2024 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/24/punishment-election-tories-voters-lies

Honestly, they couldn’t even organise someone to hold an umbrella over the Prime Minister. What a joke. ☔️ #ToryBritain #ToryIncompetence #GeneralElection2024

Labour, the Lib Dems and Greens wiped the floor with the Tories in Thursday’s local and mayoral elections. Yet #BBC News’ main headline this morning is… Suella Braverman’s interview with Laura Kuenssberg? 🤔 #ToryBritain #ToryCorruption

I love watching democracy in action. Even rigging the voting system in their favour, the Tories couldn’t dig themselves out of the electoral hole they’re in. Where London and the West Midlands go, the rest of the UK will follow. ⏳ #ToryBritain #CountingTheDays #LocalElections2024

The Tories have lost almost as many councillors as they retained or won, while Labour, Greens and Independents all did well. Has the UK finally had enough of the Tory psychodrama? #ToryBritain #LocalElections2024

Just as constituencies can ‘recall’ a disgraced or unpopular MP, forcing a local by-election, there should be a way for the country to force out a disgraced or unpopular government. I can’t remember a time when it was more needed. #UKPolitics #ToryBritain

Downing Street infested with fleas after Boris Johnson’s tenure, requiring carpets to be replaced “at vast expense”. You couldn’t ask for a better metaphor. 🪰 #ToryBritain https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-68841797
