    Copied from a twitter thread


    The week in Tory, a thread:

    1 Accidentally made it illegal to drive to Wales

    2 Made it easier to see other people's parents than your own

    3 Issued new advice that was officially ignored by Scotland, Wales, NI, and the councils of Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle.
    4 Admitted there WOULD be a border down the Irish Sea, after a year claiming there wouldn't

    5 Said its ok for a child-minder to come into contact with your kids, as long as you "open a window"

    6 Published advice that you can car-share, as long as the driver "doesn't look left"
    7 Announced £2bn investment, so we could use public transport again

    8 Told us it's our "civic duty" to avoid using public transport

    9 Announced the PM would make a speech on Sunday, cos it had to be implemented Monday
    10 Then, when challenged, said they meant Wednesday

    11 Then said we must go to work

    12 Then said we must not travel to work

    13 Then said it was all explained in the published guidelines

    14 Then had it pointed out to them in parliament that they hadn't published guidelines
    15 Blamed the public for not understanding the new rules

    16 Then went on TV to explain the rules, got them wrong, and had to be corrected by Piers Morgan

    17 Then went to parliament to explain the rules, STILL got them wrong, and had to be corrected by the opposition
    18 Said we should wear facemasks

    19 Then said we shouldn't wear facemasks

    20 Then said - again - we should wear facemasks

    21 Clapped for NHS workers

    22 Then introduced a 55% increase in the fee foreign staff pay to work for the NHS


    23 Announced quarantine for new arrivals, a mere 73 days after being officially advised to quarantine new arrivals

    24 Announced they had "only just started" recruiting people to do track and trace, a mere 110 days after being officially advised to urgently do track and trace
    25 Issued a plan to open schools, which teachers said was unsafe

    26 Then said doctors were brave, but teachers weren't

    27 Then had to watch as doctors said the teachers were right, and it wasn't safe to open schools
    28 Then announced tests for kids but not for teachers

    29 Then had to have it explained on live TV that infected teachers can still infect kids

    30 Scored 0% in a French poll of which govt was doing best for its people

    31 Dropped 45 net approval points in UK opinion polling

    The Tory rank and foul are **** scared of Starmer as this recent and increasingly desperate mud slinging evidences ... neither Starmer or his predecessor as DPP had anything to do with Worboy's sentencing... that sits solely with the CPS and had the further offences not come to light he would indeed have been set free, having served his sentence ... as is the case with every criminal conviction in the UK ... that's the law of this land <ok>
