The government can’t do anything except try to right its own wrongs

The longer we support this Tory government, the further Britain will sink to the bottom of the trough (pixel8000)

This Tory government surely cannot honestly believe it is doing the job for which it was elected to do. With all the strikes Britain has had to endure this past year, it is truly unbelievable that the government is doing what it takes to properly run the country. We have families who can’t heat their homes and are using food banks. There is rampant inflation caused, in part, by our government. It seems that the government is simply righting the errors it has made over the past 13 years and doing nothing for a better future.

The Tory government has made a mess of this country and we, the electorate, are the ones suffering the incompetence of their governance. Grievously, the Cameron government took Britain out of the European Union. The Johnson government made us the laughing stock of the world. The Conservative Party compounded that with the prolonged election of Truss and her calamitous mini-Budget.

The longer we support this Tory government, the further Britain will sink to the bottom of the trough. The road to recovery is a long way off but we need to have hope for the future, and that will only come from a government with the will, energy and acumen to provide that future.
