I can categorically say I’ve never loathed a political party like I loathe this Tory party. I’ve never felt this angry about what a govt has done to our country. And never thought that a bunch of politicians deserved the total crushing defeat these Tories do. How many agree?

On Thursday, I will not vote for an MP who has lied to me. I will not vote for an MP who has been part of the most corrupt and damaging govt of our lives. I will not vote for an MP who has failed us. I will vote for change. I will vote for @RyanJudeGreen Labour🌹 Please join me.

The Tory election campaign has all the dignity and self-reflection of an out-of-control toddler howling, throwing things and soiling itself in a supermarket aisle… I guess it was always going to be their most desperate supertantrum.

Just disgraceful of Sunak to say Putin wants a Labour win. The Tories have filled their coffers with Russian money, destabilised the EU with Brexit, put Lebedev in the Lords and suppressed the Russia Report. What a despicable and undignified end to a reprehensible 14yrs in power.

The Tories are in their tailspin descent now, shrieking warnings about how the sky will fall in if we don’t save them. They don’t see how much we want them to crash and burn. How angry we are with the damage they’ve done. How we will not forgive or forget.

Just last year, Sunak wouldn’t rule out welcoming Farage into the Tory party. The Tories have pandered to the far right, absorbed the far right, become the far right. Obsessed with forced deportations, demonising immigrants, whipping up hatred and division. They fed the monster.

Staggering how unrepentant the Tories are. 14yrs. And everything that’s broken is down to them. They reek of corruption, dishonesty and failure. Yet still so smug, so entitled, so nasty and defiant in the face of their glaring unpopularity. They’re due such an electoral slapping.

What utter bilge Rishi Sunak You’ve had your time. You Tories have had 14 years of our lives and it’s been nothing short of a catastrofucking disaster. No way we’re entrusting you with a single second of our future after that. We’re so voting you out and we cannot bloody wait.

Nothing is excellent by Robert Jenrick. But having Dorries cheering him on for arguing that Reform voters belong to the Tory party is doubly rancid. This is why the Tory party is dying on its arse. Because its only appeal is to the prejudiced, the resentful and the ignorant.

If you want us to be proud of our country, invest in its public services, pay its healthcare workers properly, clean up its waters, improve its public transport, make it work for people… Forcing 18yr olds into some half-baked National Service is just a nostalgia-soaked gimmick.

Good to hear John Curtice confirming that the Tories are polling at an all time low… and heading for the worst performance since WW1. Excellent. It’s no less than they deserve. And nothing now can turn it around. The Tory brand is trash. 2 weeks to go.

Good letters in the Times warning of the dangers of populists who promise simple solutions to the terminally gullible, but deliver jack shit, then blame everyone else. And that’s not just Farage. That’s the Tory party since 2016. Let’s get rid. Time for change… and competence.

Tories literally standing in the rubble of everything they’ve trashed shouting at us that, if we vote for a different kind of government, then they might be out of power for years. Coupled with that photo, it comes across as just the most absurd foot-stamp of the privileged.

Tory ministers say “personal attacks on Starmer are the only option as polls point to catastrophic defeat” Not sharing the rest of it because it’s the absolute worst of Toryism. Desperate, undignified, dishonourable, dishonest bollox. A very shabby end to 14 years of failure.

The Tory wettie in the face of electoral annihilation is something to behold. Quite happy to rely on FPTP when it returned them to power. Now soiling themselves at the prospect of Labour winning big. Their sense of entitlement to power untouched by their own epic failure.

Farage says “Britain is broken” Well yes. That’s because a bunch of absolute shysters whipped up fear and racism in a country battered by austerity, aggressively silenced opposition and lied their arses off to impose a Brexit that promised control but inevitably delivered chaos.

So, according to Sunak, the D-Day commemorations ‘overran’ and he understands deprivation cos he didn’t have Sky TV as a teenager. Just wow. Not sure this wildly entitled little prince has the first clue what ‘sacrifices’ actually are.

No point paying *any* attention to the Tory manifesto. They shredded their last one. Brexit is a shitshow. Levelling up didn’t happen. Social care plan wasn’t ready. And they lied their arses off to us and broke it all while rolling around in the trough. Fact-check done. Bye.

The Tories embraced Farage in 2016. They then spent the next 8yrs being populists. And everything is now broken. If you embrace Farage, you don’t win or succeed or help anyone. You just collapse into angry nastiness, shouting at boats and failing everyone. We’re done with that.

He did his selfies and twatty social media posts about respect and never forgetting. Then he ducked out early to talk/lie about himself to ITV. Peak Sunak. Such a vain little man. As insincere as he is entitled. He is so getting his sorry arse handed back to him in 4 weeks time.

Sunak thought he was being a right clever dick in that debate. Sod the truth. Sod integrity. Sod democracy. Shout the lie because that will stick and the details won’t. Like the big red bus. But, on July 4th the Tories’ debt to the truth is getting called in. It will finish them.

Tories furiously spin about Sunak in that ‘debate’. He lied about taxes, the NHS, social care, defence, doctors’ strikes and immigration. There’s nothing ‘bold’ about doing that. It was demeaning to watch a PM furiously peddling deceit because reality is his greatest opposition.

Very on brand and very Tory of The Times to wish Johnson’s offer of a peerage to Farage had kept him away. Yes, because rewarding bigotry and paying off prejudice is how to shut it down. Ffs. Why not call him out instead? Obscene moral cowardice. You deserve his damage. We don’t.

I wonder how many times Sunak has told us he’s ‘bold’ during this election campaign. Several thousand. And yet, pumping out tiny-minded Tory resentments, badly disguised as policies… is quite the most unbold thing imaginable. Just feeble, pandering bullshit.

As the Tories are now funding stuff from ‘clamping down on tax avoidance’, can we ask how much is there in this handy piggy bank? Where have they been hiding it until now and why not use it to improve public services for all rather than paying for tax cuts for a few?

These 14yrs of Tory govt have been nothing short of abuse. They’ve taken what we value, broken what we need, divided us, made us poorer, lied to us, cheated our democracy, scorned the law and wallowed in corruption. How dare they stand down. They need to be wiped out. By us.

So The Times is just going to print ‘things Sunak has said’ like that’s journalism. The right wing media just will not tell the truth because to do so would be to acknowledge their complicity in the epic damage done to our country by a Tory govt they have so slavishly championed.
