Conservatives Face ‘Obliteration’ as UK in Worse State Than 2010, Tory MP Says

The Conservatives face “obliteration” at the next election after leaving the country in a worse state than they inherited it in 2010, a senior Tory MP has said, in a stark assessment of the party’s 13 years in government.

Danny Kruger, a leading backbencher and founder of the increasingly influential New Conservatives group, said the Conservatives risked being ejected from power this year having left the country “sadder, less united and less conservative” than they found it. » | Kiran Stacey | Sunday, January 7, 2024

This senior Tory MP is absolutely right: the Conservatives have been in power since 2010 and have made an absolute mess of this once proud nation. Now, after decimating the country and causing absolute chaos, there is little or nothing to be proud of!

I was once a lifelong Conservative voter; indeed, I was weaned on Conservatism! After Brexit, I would under no circumstances vote for the Tories. Brexit was the most economically irresponsible move imaginable. It was a decision which will inevitably impoverish the nation. It has also taken our citizen’s rights away from us as Europeans. Everything is worse because of Brexit. And very importantly, food standards are in decline. And decline they will even further as a result of the foolish decision. Brexit wasn’t even democratic. The whole thing was hijacked by a cabal of crooks at the top.

But more than the idiocy of Brexit… Look at the state of the NHS, look at the state of education, look at the state of dentistry, look at the homelessness, look at the growth in poverty, look at the growth in the use of food banks, look at the huge wealth gap between the superrich and the extremely poor – the underclass! These are all deliberate policies of these despicable Tories.

And now, the latest is that Sunak wants to cut taxes by cutting welfare! The poor in this country are living on a shoestring as things stand. God only knows what they will live on if their welfare is cut even further. These Tories are heartless, cruel people. They are shameless. Utterly shameless. They have no shred of Christianity in their systems. All they understand is greed.

“For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.” – Matthew 25:29 (King James Version)

The sooner the Conservative Party goes the way of the dodo, the better it will be for this country. – © Mark Alexander
