I remember Lizz Truss. For a short time I could winge about the conservative party to cab drivers without any fear that they would agree with them.
One of the good things about the UK is Trump style behaviour does not work here for long. Unfortunately it's more of an objection to incompetence than bigotry but that's life
Didn't that Trump style behavior convince you guys to leave the EU?
Fair. You have a point.
Though notably Boris didn't get away with everything after the fact. There were penalties for incoherent and inconsistent COVID and his hypocrisy.
Though it does concern me that it's entirely possible that only happened because A) a conservative wrote a report bashing his parties and B) right wing media groups didn't defend Boris
