Awful Awful Awful.

Young people don't want to give up their weekends doing unpaid "mandatory volunteer" work either, though. There's no actually good option here for young people.
Let them get a good education, let them build a career, let them use spare hours for extra earning or relaxation, because their property costs are astronomical. Don't sacrifice them further just for political gain.
It's true to form for the Conservatives, though. You were sacrificed for political gain if you were low paid, if you needed healthcare or social care, if you were disabled, if you were trans, and pretty much if you weren't a wealthy outright property-owner.
And they so very badly need to learn that lesson, yes. Hopefully this nonsense motivates a new generation of young people forming a habit of voting, and of voting against the Conservative Party.
The Conservative Party is notoriously unforgiving of leaders who lose general elections, and currently pathologically addicted to leadership elections. I'd be very surprised if he's not gone by the end of the year even if he does exceptionally well in the general election.
Very much so, yes.
Well in that sense, they've been remarkably successful. Literally billions of public money gone through the VIP lane and unrepaid business loans during covid. Nearly every tax cut giving more money to the already well off and less to below average earners. Wealth inequality soaring to help them feel superior.
OK, but he did claim he was going to stay on as an MP. Come to think of it, that's a bit of an admission that he's going to lose the election and then be replaced as leader of the Conservative Party.
Hopefully considerably less powerful soon.
It's only a story because it's so incredibly rare that members of the public get the chance to criticise his crazy policies to his face, in terms ordinary folk can relate to.
Ah yes, because another five years of the Conservative Party is just what the country needs. Spoken like a true leftist.
Alongside squawkbox, it's one of the popular media outlets designed to appeal to left wing folks that regularly work to oppose the Labour Party (who they call "red tories") winning.
I had a leftist explain to me earlier that it would be better for Boris to win because Labour was too right wing and it would put people off voting for a properly leftist party if the centrists got into power again.
I nominate you for best written sentence on the Internet today.
