Like the Japanese soldier on a Pacific island still fighting WW2.

What worries me is that people actually believe that.

With the rumours of bullying and manhandling of Tory MP's in the House of Commons this evening, if proven (& far too much happening and being reported for nothing to have happened), added to the current polls, and fractional warfare within the tories, is this the end of not just this government, but the entire "conservative" party?

They'll bring in someone like Rishi Sunak, and he'll stand there shaking his head, and going, "can you believe what that lot did? - my 'new' government will never let that happen. Time to move on."

And lots of ex-Tory voters will agree.

I don't really know anything about Walker's record, but let's just say that it's easy to be critical when you're leaving. Having said that, he sort of sums up the problem with politics when he talks about his 17 year record as an MP having never been given a job in the cabinet, while people who say the right thing (or probably more accurately know the right people) are repeatedly promoted beyond their talents.

Some politicians are quite happy to be on the backbenches and serve the country and their constituents by being on committees and campaigning for particular causes. That always entails a degree of party loyalty but sometimes also dissension. I’m pretty sure Rees-Mogg would have preferred to have remained on the backbenches, but because he’s desperate for his ideology to win and can sense it is in peril, he’s found himself thrust into the limelight. He might not make it to 17 years.

Blind faith and refusal to look at any alternative got us into this mess, luckily most people have opened their eyes now.

Nothing could be worse than this shit show, impossible.

You mean we could have had chaos under ‘Red Ed’? The Tories winning in 2015 set in motion this never ending shitshow.

To be honest, I would question the patriotism and sanity of anyone who continues to vote or support the Tories after the last six years.

I'd like to think it is... but they would still probably win the next election regardless. Our country is full of idiots.
