    Harold was my, and the Queen's, favourite PM. I am sure she will get on very well indeed with Jeremy. It is already common knowledge that she can't stand that slippery, lying slime ball Johnson. The Queen never forgives a liar. They can never be trusted ever.

    Two important rules in life are: never trust a liar; and never trust a thief.

    The Tories are already privatising the NHS

    Neither my grandparents or parents ever voted Tory.

    As for anybody voting for Churchill, he got absolutely trounced in the General Election of 1945.

    With Dominic Grieve standing as an independent in the next election, being pro Remain and being the chairman of the ISC that produced the report, could there be the possibility of an embarrassing leak?
    These things have a habit of coming out.
    Hopefully there will be something that could be held back and used in the head to head tv debate, and cause Buffoon untold embarrassment in front of millions of viewers.

    Gove is a truly obnoxious character, who, like the rest of the party, just resorts to name calling and character assassination, whilst blithely ignoring the hideous bunch of people he represents.
    To quote the witch, Thatcher.

    “I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.”

    The Labour Party need to be repeating this every time a Tory launches a personal attack on Corbyn, and maybe add the comment that they are “frit”.

    I am sure that I heard something on Newsnight that Grieve would, as chair of the committee release the findings unilaterally.

    We are only just beginning to see how revolting these Tories really are. As the election campaigns gather pace the hope must be that moderate Conservative voters (if there is such a thing) will recognise that this bunch of clown have gone too far.

    The resistance to 'Busted Flush Boris' and 'Jacobs Ladder Mog' is growing, and far from this ending with a Tory majority, it could very well signal an implosion of the Conservative Party.

    Anecdotal evidence I know, but I’ve been noticing for some time just how widely disliked and distrusted Boris Johnson is. I think the Tories who voted him in as their leader have underestimated that. I think they have also underestimated Jeremy Corbyn’s appeal, once he is actually heard.

    Hopefully you are bang on with that Archers.

    There is always the possibility that as the resistance to these imbeciles grows, they might feel it appropriate to reign in their childish behaviour, or even be told to do so by the party grandees. I'm not sure they could do that, because this bullying, arrogant and vile behaviour does seem to be in their DNA, and just maybe they have shown too much of their true nature already.

    Can you imagine what fun it would be to watch the Tories blow themselves to bit on the alter of their own egos. It would make for one incredible celebration.

    If that were to happen I might have to start turning up at family get togethers, with my 7 siblings, 6 of whom are Tories.
    I would even unblock my two sisters on Facebook, one who gets very upset when I allude to Tory voters voting as their newspaper tells them, and who gets even more upset when I say that the choice is political loyalty or saving the NHS for our offspring.
    I have mentioned on here before that I have a niece who works at the heart of Westminster, in the Home Office.
    She breathes the same air as these people and despite her mum being an ardent, Mail reading Conservative, my niece would never vote for them in an election. She knows what they are really like.

    I read that Rees-Mogg has opened his priviledged gob again. This time criticising Grenfell Tower fire victims for lacking the common sense to defy instructions from the fire brigade to stay put in their homes. He later apologised and then altered his words to appear more understanding.

    But I know what he meant. There's no wool covering my eyes.
