Farage & Johnson Are to Blame for the Post-Brexit Mess We Are In

Oct 5, 2024 | The UK economy has been badly damaged by Brexit. However, the Conservative government made matters very much worse once Boris Johnson became prime minister. Johnson was not a serious politician and during his premiership dishonesty, corruption and incompetence became the norm.

The Covid19 pandemic brought an urgent need for PPE which, instead of being supplied through normal channels was supplied by companies recommended by friends of Tory politicians, leading to widespread supply of faulty or useless PPE. In the meantime, companies which had never supplied PPE before made fortunes.

Last week, the Conservative Party Conference took place in Birmingham. Liz Truss, despite being the shortest-serving and least-successful prime minister ever was present at the event.

Robert Jenrick, Tom Tugendhat, Kemi Badenoch and James Cleverly all made speeches in their bids to become party leader. Jenrick and Cleverly are likely to be the two candidates to be subject to an election amongst Tory Party members.

In this video, I also discuss Priti Patel and Nadhim Zahawi. Patel because she received money for her failed leadership election bid from someone closely connected with someone for whom she helped obtain PPE contracts, and Zahawi because he claimed expenses in order to heat his stables and because of a £5 million penalty he paid HMRC in respect of capital gains tax which he claims he forgot to declare.

Finally I remind viewers how it was Nigel Farage who was principally responsible for Brexit, and it was Boris Johnson who presided over corruption, dishonesty and incompetence which has led the UK to being in the dire situation we now.
