It hasn’t.

While never a fan of this government it’s behaviour in 2023 has raised my blood pressure excessively!
Far too many Tories have brought the party and the country into disrepute: Bridgen, Zahawi, Raab, Braverman, Bone, Blunt among many others. It has been OK for cabinet ministers to joke about date rape drugs or for an MP to take 78 days to resign ‘immediately'.
There has been the massive waste of money on attempts to remove refugee or legal defences or challenges that have gone nowhere or policies reversed while in the real world people have struggled with excessively high prices for essentials and use of food banks has increased exponentially.
We’ve been expected to accept nonentities being put in the House of Lords while legislation has restricted people’s voting ability.
Even in the last few days it has been revealed that people have had to pay millions to park at hospitals despite Johnson’s claims that Tories ensured this would be free.
There are so many other issues but why not check out Truth to Power’s brilliant Youtube: ’A calendar of breathtaking corruption, sleaze and cruelty’.
How has the government particularly annoyed you this year?
