Tories - rotten to the end

Whatever party is in power, they all seem to think they can get away with lining their own pockets legally or illegally. I've seen many different governments and there's been corruption in all of them. I've grown cynical of all policians I'm afraid.

But you must admit we’ve never had corruption on the scale that it has been recently?

I cannot see that 'supporting' Hamas (thought it was negotiation, actually) is worse than supporting Israel. And in any case, open policies that we can choose or reject are very different from a bunch of people who just cannot be trusted in any way - in my opinion.

What did you expect??

Lady Gracie…civil servants are apolitical and undergo rigorous interviews and scrutiny before being appointed.
It’s no wonder we can’t get any decent people wanting to become Members of Parliament

They’ve cocked up everything in the name of greed

Another Tory sleaze bomb.

And you wonder why. Who'd be an MP the way we treat them, most can earn more else where. Get used to substardard.

Lol!
Yes indeed - force them back over here to experience what they voted for.
P.M. Farage? Ugh!!!!

power corrupts, absolute power....... same old, when a party has been in power too long, but this time? i hope it is the end of the tories, for good and no, not farage to fill the vacuum.

Very little evidence of integrity left in politics nowadays. I believe absolutely in voting but very difficult to select a party to vote for.

It’s not their stupidity. It’s because they think us ‘plebs’ are stupid! The arrogance of them is awful

As an aside

Let’s make July 4th Independence Day
and July 5th Thanksgiving. This time leave the Turkeys to vote for this lot and their various alt right/NatC and Reform mutations.”

But we MUST vote

To me this seems like typical "entitled" MP behaviour.common to some people in all parties, although obviously the betting only relates to tories who had insider knowlege.

I agree that it is shocking both morally and in terms of judgement that these Tories have placed these bets. I just want to speak up for civil servants - they so easily get an unjustified bad press. Senior civil servants have to take exams which test their mental abilities before joining the service and the great majority do the best they possibly can, within the parameters the politicians allow. We need them.

What a silly thing to say "IQ test" Many rotters have a high IQ.

My daughter lives currently in New Zealand, but has far too much on her mind at present to be much bothered about voting in the British election. She’s a doctor and has four jobs to juggle. Being a GP is the primary job, but she also works in ED doing evening shifts when she’s not got the children, she works remotely as a menopause specialist, and she’s recently undertaken training, and has now started working for the police doing the support, examinations, and forensic medicals for abused women.

Unnecessarily rude comments, HousePlantQueen.

HPQ was expressing her opinion...

It's Downing St that needs to be "Ofsted".

Be proud of your daughter. She has principles that many do not possess.

My DC do not vote in UK elections either although I urged them to vote in the referendum (they didn't) as one spent many years working in EU countries and may return to UK anyway.

Gosh HPQ , I'd quite forgotten about the Nolan Principles. Other people seen to have forgotten about them, too.

I think that’s one of Johnson’s legacies …

Just a quick reminder that there is the Nolan Principles which govern parliamentary behaviour.....not that you would know
