The Conservative Party

[Saddleworth2]

I’m saying the largest block of Tory voters in Scotland were over 55. There was an increase from the prev election. 1 in 4 pensioners in the UK are millionaires. They’re voting to protect this wealth obviously.

what about the 69% that didn't vote Tory? Are they protecting their wealth too?

Are you watching red wall seats? Are you watching? More promises broken.

We've got your votes now fuck off.

Any growth we promised can now be cancelled and we can blame it on the economic crisis we profited from over the plebs.

In more shock news, the Northern Powerhouse rail upgrade has been scrapped. Shapps talking absolute bollox as usual

Mr Shapps said: “Across the Pennines, connecting places like Manchester to Leeds and bringing that journey down to half an hour – which is what we said we would do in that manifesto – is in fact happening already,” he said.

“The line itself can deliver a 33-minute journey from Manchester to Leeds, nearly quadruple the capacity of that line and do so without having to wait an extra 20 years beyond the delivery of what the upgrade can do.

33 minutes???

Nigel Harris, editor in chief of Rail magazine, called Mr Shapps a “world class communicator of utter claptrap”.

Sounds like an artfully creative piece of word play: "the line can deliver a 33 minute journey".

Just the trains can't and it probably means not stopping anywhere and travelling at maximum speed.

Not sure what "nearly quadruple the capacity" means, but I bet it doesn't work with the 330minute journey.

Fucking 75 year old gammon nonce. Nearly 10 mins and he can’t quote one tiny personal benefit from the vote coz there are none.

Perhaps invite a leading member of the ERG to offer their reasoned response to the above.

JR-M would obviously be a good candidate for his humility and caring nature towards the less fortunate.

Chris Philip another Tory nonce spawned in the depths of Mordor

Knobhead attended the selective St Olave's Grammar School in Orpington, Kent,[4] and then studied physics at University College, Oxford.[5] In 1996 he was editor of the Oxford University student newspaper, Cherwell.[6]. From Wiki

He was of course also a member of a one of those shady Tory think tanks where the membership sit round, count their money and dream up wheezes to get richer and fuck the populace.

He has zero credentials to become policing minister other than he is a twat.
