#toryratsleavingasinkingship — Public Fediverse posts

Jake Berry, the very definition of hypocrisy. I think this quote is from the BBC's Chris Mason; a man who definitely wouldn't be casting the first stone:

'A man knighted by Boris Johnson. A man whose son counts Johnson as his godfather. A man who used to be the chairman of the Conservative Party and who was a Tory minister in three different government departments. And yet a man who now says this: "If you were deliberately trying to wreck the country, you'd be hard pressed to do a better job than the last two decades of Labour and Tory rule.'

If only #ReformUK had any workable policies, or even half a clue what they were doing. More importantly, if only the "old" parties stopped playing their game, and did something positive such as electoral reform or taxing the obscenely wealthy. The former would help re-engage people in politics (whilst helping to keep the extremists out), and the latter would help fix Britain's numerous problems. It's poor/disadvantaged people who are more likely to seek scapegoats and vote for the populist/fascist charlatans.
