Suella Braverman or Priti Patel as Conservative leader ‘disaster for the party and country’
“We managed to toxify ourselves. It took a long time to detoxify ourselves. Common sense would say, don't do that again.”
Outgoing Tory MP Sir Bob Neill says it would be “a disaster” for the Conservative Party to lurch to the right if it loses the election and installs someone like Suella Braverman or Priti Patel as leader.

Being our representatives doesn't - or shouldn't - entail opening yourself to the level of intimidation and abuse that MPs currently face. That said, moderates like Neill are probably those most to blame for the current contempt with which politicians are held. The Johnsons, Patels and Bravermans of this world are what they are, they are being true to their - admittedly vile - nature. Moderate Tories who knew better but nevertheless stood by and allowed their more venal colleagues to take over with barely a murmur of protest, they knew where this would end up and made no attempt to prevent it. It's no use trying to warn us now.

'Tough life being a politician...' Regardless of how hard you think you might have it, you're working in a privileged environment, you're home every weekend at least, your lifestyle is subsidised by the taxpayer, you're payed 3 or 4 times the average salary, and the pension sets you up for life, not to say about the opportunities for earnings after serving as an mp... Swap that for a service person who has to spend 6-9 months deployed most years, in grotty conditions, for a quarter of what you're earning, and gets shafted post service...

I am convinced Corbyn would have been better than Johnson. 2 points for starters: 1)really compassionate and consciencious. Therefore, old people would not have been dying in their thousands. 2) not corrupt. Therefore no Mone scandal, no eat out to help out. He might not have pushed vaccination as much as the tories did...but he would have caused fewer deaths. Is it not outrageous that the UK having started to vaccinate earlier than other countries still has a higher Covid death ratio than comparable countries????

Fixing the justice system would need a restoration of social care to the levels of decades past. The justice system - and the NHS and our schools - are having to step in where once social services would have been there to assist those in need. You'll never get the sort of policies that needs from a Tory government because they are always, to one degree or another, too dependent on appeasing their right wing to engage in anything compassionate or progressive.

From my point of view they were toxic in 2010. Austerity was a trick to make the poorest pay for the banking crisis. Things got worse after Brexit when the electorate bought the 'blame the EU' rhetoric. It wasn't the EU. It was the Tories.
