Tory MPs:
''We backed Boris Johnson while he illegally shut Parliament, used death threats against MPs, made us accessories to bribery, delivered the worst excess death rate in Europe and ruined the fishermen & farmers we said we'd help... But we drew the line at cheese & wine.''
Don't let the Tories pretend they didn't facilitate all this, because they WILL try to wash themselves of Boris Johnson.
None of the Tories can claim to have any decency after backing this man for Prime Minister.
You helped poison our society.
Almost all Tories backed Boris Johnson as he blatantly tried to get your mate off on his bribery charge, and now you're claiming to be the party of Law and Order? itv.com/news/2021-11-0…
You watched Boris Johnson say he wanted the UK to have the loosest reaction to Covid in Feb 2020.
You watched him tell people to shake hands with Covid patients in March 2020.
You watched him deliver the worst excess death rate in Europe by May 2020.
And you STILL backed him.
You have to go back to the fishermen and farmers who you promised Brexit would save... and explain to them why you burned their livelihoods to the ground with lies.

Can you imagine if, during the years of Brexit renegotiations (2020-24), journalists had grilled the Tories on their manifesto promise to get Brexit done.... as much as they're now grilling Labour on whether they're "taxing working people"?
It shows they CAN do their jobs.
They just chose not to with the Tories.
Look at this.
It's very good journalism by @WilfredFrost, exposing that the Labour manifesto used the technicality of not directly taxing working people, but it still hits them.
"Get Brexit Done" was literally the title of the Tory manifesto and was NEVER challenged like this.
Boris Johnson started renegotiations SIX MONTHS after winning an election on a promise to end the Brexit negotiations.
So there's nothing subjective about the fact that the Tory government was elected on a lie.
Yet NOT ONE news station categorically communicated that fact.
