The embarrassing squabbling and back-stabbing in the Tory party have ruined this country (PA Archive)

Further to The Independent’s recent editorial, what has the Tory government actually done to improve the lot of the British public in their 13 years of governance?

Regardless of the impact of Covid and its derivatives, we have had an incompetent government at the helm. At great cost and harm, they have depleted our NHS, police force, and, other civil services through underinvestment and lack of future planning. We now find that Rishi Sunak and his cohorts want praise for bringing back staffing levels to what they already were a decade ago.

Various ministers make false promises to improve our social services, but it is just vote-seeking rhetoric. For several years the mantra that this government espouses is nothing more than puerile nonsense.
