In June 2019 Amber Rudd said Boris Johnson proroguing parliament would be outrageous and ridiculous

And here's secretary of state for health and Johnson lickspittle, Matt Hancock, saying prorogation would go against "everything that those men who waded onto those beaches fought and died for"

Tory members: who are the people deciding on the future of Britain?
They want the death penalty, they're climate change deniers and they're racists.

There was a time in this country, not that long ago, when in order for an ordinary member of the public to be given a national broadcast platform, they had to have achieved something extraordinary, be clearly equipped to do so or have an informed insight to offer.

That was a time when broadcasters took their responsibilities seriously. When informing, educating, and entertaining were qualitative measures of their key objectives rather than outrage and controversy delivered for clicks & ££.

Now the most racist, most ignorant, most stupid people go to the front of the queue. The mantra is that everyone has an opinion, and therefore everyone deserves & must be given the opportunity to "have a voice" and to "be heard"

Brextremists constantly bang on about how impt it is for the UK to Leave the EU because it was a Tory party manifesto promise. What is true for Brexit, must presumably be true for other Tory manifesto promises, so let's see how they've done.

@LBC Page 15 of the Tory manifesto promised "effective" regulation of industry and markets and that govt would save £9bn through cutting two regulations for every new one created.
