  • “We managed to toxify ourselves. It took a long time to detoxify ourselves. Common sense would say, don't do that again.”
    Outgoing Tory MP Sir Bob Neill says it would be “a disaster” for the Conservative Party to lurch to the right if it loses the election and installs someone like Suella Braverman or Priti Patel as leader.

      Being our representatives doesn't - or shouldn't - entail opening yourself to the level of intimidation and abuse that MPs currently face. That said, moderates like Neill are probably those most to blame for the current contempt with which politicians are held. The Johnsons, Patels and Bravermans of this world are what they are, they are being true to their - admittedly vile - nature. Moderate Tories who knew better but nevertheless stood by and allowed their more venal colleagues to take over with barely a murmur of protest, they knew where this would end up and made no attempt to prevent it. It's no use trying to warn us now.

    Fixing the justice system would need a restoration of social care to the levels of decades past. The justice system - and the NHS and our schools - are having to step in where once social services would have been there to assist those in need. You'll never get the sort of policies that needs from a Tory government because they are always, to one degree or another, too dependent on appeasing their right wing to engage in anything compassionate or progressive.
