Arrogance, egoism, entitlement.The Tories lost because of this, too.
-
Austerity, Brexit and Covid. Shouldn't we add stupidity?
-
Don't forget sleaze, corruption, rampant cronyism, Culture wars and the unending ability to promote people with zero talent to the top jobs
-
Rotten leadership. Fail upon fail. Lazy. Rubbish.
-
Five self-serving inept PMs. Preceeded by two more. I guess all are far richer than they were twenty five years ago, but we are all poorer.
-
Nothing to do with all the corruption 😅
-
All those in the picture IS the reason they’ve LOST.
-
The Lib dems should not be forgiven for helping the tories austerity program
-
So, nothing at all to do with the longest period of Austerity imposed in Europe as a reaction to the 2008 financial crash, resulting in essential services being systematically defunded in real terms to the point of falling apart, actual infrastructure falling apart, taxes at a 70 year high with nothing to show for it, and a country as a whole feeling more and more like a third world country outside of London where nothing works anymore, but so long as GDP line goes up it's still all good.

The Tories will never come back from this. It's not just a question of unpopularity - their whole era is finished. Thank you very much, and good riddance !
-
Why not mention 2009 MP expenses scandal...
-
Labour’s victory is nothing like the ones they had in 1997. There’s no optimism like Blair has it’s more of Tories horrendous government. The Tories need to be gone forever from government they’ve got 14 years and yet after all of those years the public is served with a Trump policy.
-
Take back all the benefits from Lis Truss so that no other politician will try to do what she did…
-
What a mess
-
Finally we have a benefit of Brexit.
-
This was the post brexit election and the tories were decimated by the humiliating failure of brexit. The brexit 2.0 party reform only got 4 seats! "Sunlit uplands"
-
If only David Davis had beaten Cameron for the leadership of the Conservative party. A decent, working class man who has come from nothing! Unlike Mr Cameron
-
It is beyond repair. The empire will sink anyhow.
-
Excellent and good ridannce...
-
Whole of UK now sees why Scotland never vote Tories. They now see the bullshit they’ve been peddling.
