It's the left who wanted you clapping NHS staff for doing their jobs. It's the left who have made criticising the NHS a social offence.

He is without a doubt an expedient and dangerous liar. A once great political party has been brought to its knees by Bunter and his lightweight, in every sense of the word, cabinet. I hope that the decent Tory back-benchers (and they do exist) will see their way to removing him from power. I also hope that there are enough sentient and intelligent people like yourself that will also see him for what he is and withhold their support. As I said I come down on the left side of politics but at a time when we need a strong government and opposition there is a real lack of ability all over.

[@cupguin]

Occasionally you look at a country and wonder how it got to wherever they are now. How did they become so unhitched from the normal standards of logic and decency? And it wasn't overnight but a creeping sense of tribalism over all that started to push at the confines of civility until advocating for the deaths of those seen as inconvenient became a way to score political points. Prime Ministers shouldn't be held to the same standards as the rest of us, they should at least attempt to give the appearance of leading by being more moral and worthy of their position. A position that should be of service to the rest of us, rather than the rest of us being used to illegally pay for their fancy wallpaper. And when we see that "oh we have a wrong'un" it shouldn't matter if we agree with their politics because we should feel like we deserve better.
