  • The sheer gall of the Tory party to complain about the threat to democracy from a weak opposition. You haven't given a fig about democracy or correct conduct in government for 14 years.
  • @123boat
    If the Prime Minister doesn’t respect the people and WW2 veterans then he doesn’t deserve ANY RESPECT 🤬
  • @realjohn4064
    I don't think "fed up" with the Tories describes it. It's quite a bit more than that for the vast majority of voters.
  • @damianleah6744
    How they laughed at good ole Boris “he’s a real character “ then the political car crash carried on. Give me boring politics and running the country over this circus any day. “They haven’t got any worse!” Well when you are on the floor, there isn’t much more to fall.
  • @dogblessamerica
    The reason the Tories have changed leader so often is that their policies are simply doomed to fail, and rather than reassess what they are doing, they just double down under a new leader
  • @accomuk
    Voting against the Tories, by Jove Andrew I think you've got it!
  • The Tories have only ever had ONE policy ! Take from the poor and give to the rich !
  • @digidol52
    The Tories have supplied so many reasons for us to hate them, it might be their only real achievement.
  • @SlowhandGreg
    Anyone now voting Tory would vote for a sheepdog with a blue rossette or they have Stockholm syndrome zero seats LibDems for the official opposition

    Sunak awarded government contracts to his wife's company millions of pounds.

    Canadian here: Is it just me or is it odd that so many are shifting towards Reform despite Reform being one of two parties pushing for what I perceive to be the failed Brexit? Isn't illegal immigration worse post Brexit? 🤔
  • @jstoner9029
    I’m fed up with the Tories and Andrew Neil.

    Labour needs every single vote. If you want the conservatives out, vote Labour 😅😅😅😅😅😅😮😅😅😅😅😅
  • Even tories don't like tories. Hence the concept of shy tories. What this lot have done is remove the mask. Some life long tories are dismayed.The rest of us have always seen the tories as inept privately educated careerists. They can't even manage the economy in their own interests.
  • Doesn't Mongomerie realize that the 'special pleading' of calls for a strong opposition is now an incentive to vote Lib Dem, such is the disdain for the Tories.
