The day this government is slung out of power I am going to party like it's 1999 ( I wish it bloody was).

That's good but nationally they need to get there act together. Should be winning by elections with what you purport to be a rabble in charge.

Really you believe that will happen. The Tory vote didn't turn up in numbers whilst Corbyns lot probably canvassed to the hilt and only managed 6k votes. I like your enthusiasm

A 10% swing in a Tory seat that has been Tory since 1945 will certainly change the colours of constituencies, but you carry on making excuses for the rabble.

That's the next challenge - to persuade tribal tories to recognise the behaviour of this government is inexcusable; it isn't even a tory/anti tory matter - it's just about mendacity and hypocrisy versus integrity and decency!

I believe a significant number of people are beginning to realise this Brexit bunch are not fit to govern.

Optimistic - maybe, but I am sure while they hold power, Johnston (who in effect is the government) will continue to betray the trust tory voters invested in them; and eventually he will be punished.

Exactly.
Despite posters trying to label me, I have voted Conservative, Labour and Lib Dem in my lifetime.
It’s not like a football club where you stick to them through thick and thin.
This party in power turned rogue ten or twelve years ago.

The problem is for some its like a football team now, where there is corruption, incompetent and abuse of power they look the other way and pretend its not happening

2015 was the point the Tories went rogue, for the first time since 1992 they had a majority on their own. Within months the skip fire began..

Considering Tice has been tugging your forlock for years, at least spell his name with a capital letter

The Hostile Environment was a thing before then. Theresa May was at the Home Office when the Windrush landing papers were destroyed.
It’s like the boiling frog, applying the heat degree by degree.

Official - Labour are better at handling the economy than Conservatives

are you purporting that the government is competent? are you content with them?

Little bit bizarre trying to use that by-election result to bash the opposition IMO.
