I would like to thank my 4 month old daughter… For always getting me up at 4am So I can make a head start on my despairing at the Tories.

In the last week, Sunak has done a major interview on Talk TV - a platform virtually no one watches - while Truss has launched her ‘comeback’ through a (paywalled) Sunday Telegraph article. Conservatives aren’t talking to the country anymore - just to a small right-wing fringe.

The substance of her argument is that no one warned her that her plans were a terrible idea but they were still a brilliant idea

Hold on - wasn’t it those pesky free markets - that she champions - reacting in horror to £45 billion in unfunded tax cuts? That led to surge in cost of borrowing, near collapse of pension industry, and more costly mortgages for all of us. Didn’t Liz Truss bring Liz Truss down?

If the BBC… Even with its Tory-led board Even with its Tory donor, Johnson loan-broker Chairman telling staff not to cast Brexit in “a bad light” Still appears to cast Brexit in a bad light Maybe Just maybe It’s because Brexit is objectively shit.

The Times reports that holiday companies had record bookings last month. This will come as a major disappointment to all the charities and lefty TV networks who want you to believe we're all skint and living in carboard boxes. If we are in boxes we are clearly in Marbella.

Left: Tory Minister Helen Whately says our biggest achievement after 3 years of Brexit was the vaccine roll out Right: Dr Raine explains that our vaccine roll out was done while the UK was under EU rules So our greatest Brexit achievement was while we were still in the EU 🤷‍♂️

Here’s Tory MP, Tobias Elwood - not happy with this Brexit David Davis - not happy with this Brexit Nigel Farage - not happy with this Brexit …which serves as a timely reminder There was only one version of remain And god knows how many to leave.

“Boris Johnson, your campaign to become prime minister again seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular?” “Oo, a tough question, but a fair one. Nadine, there’s no single answer…”

When you put it like that… “How do you feel about living in a country where the bloke who sold you Brexit, is now selling EU membership to a country he claimed got invaded by Russia because of the actions of the EU?”
