Will you vote Tory next time?

I bet there were just as many rule breakers in the Labour Party and other Political parties but the weren't as carefully watched or spied on. They did wrong shouldn't have but I bet there were others with as much responsibility that did the same.

But if they (do you have any proof by the way?) did they weren’t the ones making the rules and fining other people for breaking them.

She's back.

Can I join you, volver?

I wont be but that because our MP who's Conservative is useless

Women not really wanted? Two female PMs so far isn’t bad going is it? At least they don’t seem to have trouble working out what a woman is.

I do know about KS’s background, don’t need a potted biography thanks.
As for Johnson’s career, it depends what you call the real world - I imagine journalists would disagree with your opinion there. And frankly the salary isn’t a huge amount for what a PM has to do. Just consider dealing in quick succession with Brexit, the pandemic and now Ukraine. KS would have earned much more as a lawyer.

Your post indicates that you do and speaking as the parent of a Journalist, I can assure you that Johnson isn’t one. He wrote editorials (puff pieces) for a Tory paper because he was famous. There is a bit more to a Journalist than that, but anyone can call themselves one! As for your view that the £180,000 isn’t enough for the PM, he (and most before him who didn’t complain) is already a millionaire and referring to £180,000 a year as “chicken feed” demonstrates his lack of insight in the real world and his total lack of empathy for the poor. We didn’t have food banks in this country until the Tories came back in 2010. Now working families find themselves desperate and using them. Working all week to earn their own poverty. Still, so long as you’re okay eh?

What did the Conservatives inherit from Labour? A mess. Then there was the global financial crisis. Or had you forgotten?

Not sure who yet, although l do feel Teresa May didn’t get a chance

And don’t give me that ‘so long as you’re ok’ insult so beloved of Labourites. You have no idea.

I think it was the global financial crisis then the change of government.

Please don't tell me you are blaming a Labour government when the Tories have been in power for 12 years?

How long did the financial crisis last volver?

In the context of this discussion, it doesn't matter how long it lasted.

The financial crisis came first then the change of government.

The opposite of what you wrote. Although I expect you meant the word "then" in the sense of "and let's not forget about"

Really don't know who to vote for.

Not on your nelly- I’m hoping the Torres get a good kicking (figuratively of course) at the upcoming local elections. It may just get the message across that they are paid by us to serve us rather than themselves

I think I've just posted on the "Partygate" thread, in error!!

Although it fits in there too.

I voted Conservative as I can't find an alternative that can lead our country forward.
"Better the devil you know", they say!

Have voted Tory until the last election. I will not do so again. And why is it so important whether a party know what a woman is?

Even the lying, cheating devil who doesn't care about you or the country and is only in it for himself, and will say and do anything to further his own interests?

Really?

Yes, I will continue to vote Conservative because, they are the party that has done the most good for the people of this country, who do not even realise the fact, even in the extraordinary times that we are suffering at the moment, caused by external events, not by them.
What about Gordon Brown who sold off half of our gold reserves, and, Blair who took us to war in Iraq?

Can't vote for a party whose leader doesn't know what a woman is. The Tories are currently the party of sleaze and channelling as much as they can get away with to help their donors and mates become even wealthier. As as for the Lib Dems, not sure who they are any more. Feel I must vote but with no-one to vote for......

For a solicitor you are strangely unaware of the facts of the situation at the end of the last Labour government and very quick to parrot tory propaganda. I always thought that highly educated people were able to make objective judgements.

I'll not go into the minutiae but suffice it to say that it was prompt action by the Labour government that protected us from the worst effects of the GFC (like people losing their money from the banks going bankrupt), the economy was being restored and it was the insistence by the tories on 'austerity' that nearly plunged the UK into recession.

And, if you did know the facts of Starmer's family background you were happy to twist them in your first mention of it.

The Conservative Foundation states that the Conservative Party has always stood for personal liberty, democracy and the rule of law.
What’s not to like ?
Not like these lefties who wish to deliver communism via the likes of Corbyn under the guise of socialism. ?

I live in a Tory safe seat & we're voting Lib Dem to get the tories out, I want a compassionate government not this load of lying cheats who have emptied the treasure and lied about everything, tories look after themselves, I want a labour/libdem coalition, I don't care who they have in charge its the policies I want

I'd choke to death on gravel before I voted for such an amoral, elitist, corrupt shower of sh*ts.

No.

Well we spoiled for who to pick Tory who think rules don’t apply to them or labour who don’t know who a woman is ? how can we be so lucky.
