But he is Right wing. And he's a shit. Tory/Labour is just a shift change these days. Just a different variety of cruelty and incompetence.
We get what someone else - in the form of donations or threats - has paid for. Then we get to pay for it with years of captured government.

This cannot be said often enough. And not just about Council SEND spending.

An inability or refusal to accept criticism or responsibility is a sign of several significant personality disorders. It seems many of our MPs and all of our major parties are sufferers.
And we know MP as a profession is are among the highest scorers on the Hare scale.

Plus Labour have been utter pants at telling people what they've done. For sure, media hasn't helped. There's an obvious entitlement, ignorance and arrogance about their responses to sometimes deserved criticism.
Giving the impression "I'm better than you. Shut up" doesn't sell well.

If you need a reason for press antipathy, Starmer was front and centre during the trials over phone hacking and resentment from that still exists.
Then add the 'natural' bias of publications funded at a loss by billionaires for influence and I think you have at least a partial explanation.

No anger against Thatcher who closed most of the assylums. No anger against May who stoked migration fears. No anger against successive Tory governments who put in place a system designed to both fail and funnel money to their donors.
She's right that few senior politicians give a toss though.

An alternative reading would be;
"Labour MPs unwilling to do any work that they don't benefit from and ask, 'What's in it for me?'."
Ah, those selfless Blue Labour folk.

So the police are crap at their jobs? Well colour me surprised - anyone could have told you that.
Being crap at your job doesn't mean anything other than you are crap at your job. But it is a convenient hook to hang a fall guy on.

You know, the usual. The man's an empty suit with a plastic grin.
In today's world of instant gratification and shallow success he's done well for a low-rent racist grifter. As long as he has mates in the media I've no doubt that will continue.

I doubt he has much to worry about. He's never in his constituency so why would anyone expect him to be in the country should he get into No. 10?
He'll fop off on some speaking tour or other, travel the world telling other nations how shit we are and how much worse their future will be.

Well then I forsee a rise in knifings and a significant casualty rate among Farage's 'New Protectors'.
People like Tommy Ten Names would love to see it but I doubt they'd like the outcome. This kind of shit has been tried once or twice on UK streets before, with no success.

I'm not so sure. Nothing can survive for long in a vacuum.

Killers and abusers in service to a foreigh state. Much like the last lot. And headed by a human rights lawyer.

'Principled Conservative' = 'wild Haggis'. You can find people saying they exist but nobody has ever seen one.
These people caused untold damage to the UK and its people. I'm still convinced Johnson was and maybe still is a Russian asset. Frankly, most should be in prison for life.

UK media reform is long overdue. Compared with most European media the UK is a cesspit and fully stocked with limited, false or misleading information.
That's not an accident. It's by design. Corbyn was a test and was shown to work. Now Starmer, and Labour are in Uncle Rupert's sights.
