    “You either think this country needs to change, or you don’t. And if you do, you should stand with me and every person in this hall, you should stand with the Conservatives.”

    Proceeds to cancel new public transport infrastructure, preventing change.

      “If you want change, stand with the Conservatives!”

      Lol is that meant to be satire? Conservatives for change… the political group that wants to… conserve… old systems?

      Also, they say it as if the opposition doesn’t want change either…

        A handful of Conservatives were being dumb and were advocating for brexit, David Cameron (Cons PM) didn’t want brexit but was like sure let’s have a vote on it, and he was confident the British people would just vote to stay so they didn’t do much campaigning.

    glad to read this - not that I’m enjoying the bullshit Sunak’s putting the UK through, but to hear voters genuinely done with his fuckwittery.

    any chance there’s going to be accountability for their games with the missing phone messages?

      There is a court order so they have to hand this information over, they are just going to waste everyone’s time until inevitable happens.

    The common sense argument pisses me off because it can be understood in 2 ways.

    1. It is an idea that it is commonly regarded as “true/right/good”

    2. It is obviously the case

    Both are obviously not the case. 1. Many people disagree with the statement. 2. Many educated people don’t think it is like that, so it is clearly not obviously the case.
