      Either

      • cos they are just trying to burn it down and make a quick quid for their mates
      • it’s genuinely a fault in the voting line and they have realised they’ll manage to cling on to power

      I can’t decide which makes me angrier.

      He’s setting up him and his friends for jobs in banking and oil once he loses to a disastrous (for tories) labour majority in early 2025

          Oh sure, but also I’m just going on what seems to actually be happening. He’s losing should-never-lose battles. I’m more worried that farages new fasicist and popularist party will get too much power rather than the tories. Tories are kind of just dead in the water now

      He knows his party is fucked so he’s trying to do favours for his mates in the oil industry while he still can

      Makes me fucking livid. They don’t pretend it’s for anyone’s good any more: they just nakedly wreck shit for political gain. Pepperidge Farm remembers when these shitters used to try and justify their awfulness.

      It is basically guaranteed that he has lost the next election so he is just frantically throwing everything at the wall to see if anything sticks
