    James Dyson texting Boris asking him to make sure he could get tax benefits if he made ventilators. Boris responds ‘I’ll fix it’. ‘Rishi will sort it’.

    Whilst we should all be concerned about this sort of thing, in the context of events no one who's considering voting Tory will care.

    One of the reasons I bought a Miele vacuum 😉
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    That's a dangerous route to go down. You'd be amazed who you'd have to boycott.


    For instance....


    Wolfsburg, a football team owned by Volkswagen, a company set up by the Nazis to provide the 'People's Car'. Vehicles were built by slave labour, some from Auschwitz.

    Allianz Insurance, sponsors of Bayern's Stadium: An Insurance Company whose CEO was an adviser to Hitler and they ripped off Jewish people by sending money for claims to the Nazi Party

    Hugo Boss: Made Nazi uniforms and Boss himself was a member of the Nazi Party.



    Would you like any more?

    Exactly! There's loads of angry, outraged comment just now across all social media about what c***s the Tories are. Fact is their ratings are going up. The outrage needs aimed at the people who vote for them.
    In fact no. Just accept it. Britain is a Tory country, accept it and live with it, emigrate like I did or get the hell out through Independence for Scotland.

    Very relevant point and consistent with what I see in the Tory heartlands every day.

    I do think selfishness plays a part in all aspects of the parties support but from time to time and amongst "middle ground" and "softer" Tory voters you do hear rumblings of discontent when they are either more directly affected or feel like they are somehow missing out.

    It won't bring about a sea change but there's definitely chat of sleaze going around that wasn't in evidence a few months back and Matt Hancock seems to be a more regular target of ridicule and disrespect as well as Bozo himself.

    Watching Prime Ministers question time Bumbling Boris is not fit to be the leader of a party let alone the leader of the country. His communication skills are poor does not understand questions that are put to him. Can't even read his briefing properly. He makes Donald Trump look like Einstein.

    When the Tory voter mindset is "imagine what would be happening in a parallel universe where Corbyn was somehow Prime Minister", all hope is lost.

    A lot of them, particularly in the north of England, voting to harm themselves and their families too. It’s sad.

    I blame a dumbing down of the state education system over many years leading to a population without the ability to think critically. Couple that with a right wing media skilled in manipulating their readership and you end up with Dave from Sunderland voting Brexit and eventually losing his job in the Nissan factory. Social media playing a part in amplifying misinformation too.

    I've seen some takes on this that the government have focus grouped this and leaked it themselves. Happy that their narrative is "look Boris is moving mountains to get things done in a time of crisis".

    They'll roll that messaging out again and again when yet more corruption is uncovered. And as has been pointed out, the Tory voters are probably quite happy to buy into that version of events. Incredible.

    Had a first-hand experience of Toryism yesterday. We won a £20 million grant from the UKRI (the funding body that provide funding to all academic research work), that was part-funded by the ODA (Overseas Development Aid) funding. They decided to scrap funding to overseas aid but further than that, decided to recoup some of the money they'd already allocated going back a number of years.

    70% cut on our £20 million budget, meaning we're having to rescind offers of employment, cut back work we were doing and cancel agreements we have in place for data subscriptions, access etc.

    Tory ****s. Nothing more than an ideological cut to funding work in Bongo Bongo land, when we all know the money would be better spent in London

    Education is key. My partner is American and we've had many conversations about how the US has got itself into such a state and she always blames it on shockingly under funded and neglected public schools (their state schools). I have always worried about us becoming America mark 2 but its happening now before our eyes and it genuinely worries me.

    If they did troll the electorate like that there are Tory voters who would lap it up.

    The biggest difference between this Govt and previous similarity right wing administrations is an apparent anti intellectualism; going after the universities for ‘cancel culture’, Hancock’s ‘this country has had enough of listening to experts’ line encapsulates it neatly. Someone’s told them that appealing to the red wall means attacking ‘know it all’s’. It’s almost Maoist.

    Starmer just refused to sign letter calling for investigation into Boris Johnson’s lies – SKWAWKBOX

    His excuse? A Labour spokesperson said Labour doesn’t normally back initiatives started by other parties.

    One of their own now confirming what we already know. This would be extraordinary in any other time but it won't lose them a single vote down south.
