Tory leadership contest has switched to a new, even more farcical phase, as MPs such as Liz Truss and Amber Rudd throw off the last vestiges of shame, and cosy up publicly to Boris Johnson in a blatant attempt to bag Cabinet jobs. It's going to get worse! theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
Of course, Matt Hancock took a solid early lead in the suck-up stakes, putting on a display of such fawning subservience it has yet to be equalled. But it looks like there are plenty of others willing to subsume any notion of independent thought for the sake of their careers.
Snag is, putting career first also means putting party above country - way, way above. So the relative handful of Tory members get the vapours at the thrill of all their policy Christmases coming at once. And everyone else suffers. But that's ok, because we don't count.
And of course crucially it means being willing to jump off the no deal Brexit cliff come October, in pursuit of a policy that will break up the Union. So every one of the core sucker-uppers is lost to the forces of reason, and a clear and present danger to the UK.
