Families and businesses were worried about how to pay their bills. Putin's illegal war in Ukraine threatens the security of our whole continent. And our country has been held back for too long by low economic growth. I was elected by the Conservative party with a mandate to change this. We delivered on energy bills and on cutting national insurance. And we set out a vision for a low tax high growth economy that would take advantage of the freedoms of Brexit. I recognise though, given the situation, I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party. I have therefore spoken to His Majesty the King to notify him that I am resigning as leader of the Conservative Party. Paraphasing; What I did was right. I was prevented from delivering. She has absolutely no shame. Similar in that regard to Boris. She's one of those horrible people who when they introduce themselves say 'one thing you should know about me, I never apologise. It's just who I am.' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted October 20, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 20, 2022 If Boris does run, it will be hard to shake off the idea in my head that this was a way he saw that he could ride out the scandal that brought him down. Perhaps I'm giving him too much credit. I'm giving him too much credit aren't I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck riding that out. That is ultimately what will stop him coming back now. It would be more uncertainty and a continuation of the chaos we have seen under him previously and Truss.

The man who got Brexit done, by “done” it means lead the country to the biggest act of self harm in history. We’ll be suffering his actions for decades. If he gets a second shot then there are no words left. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He misjudged the nation, and thought we'd vote against, and the country has been on fire ever since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post El Zen Posted October 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2022 If this mess didn’t have very real and dire consequences for real people, it would have been gloriously hilarious.
