        Britain faces a simple and inescapable choice – stability and strong Government with me, or chaos with Ed Miliband

        David Cameron, May 2015

        Oh how I wish we chose chaos with Ed Miliband.

          Imagine the Brexit referendum never happening. Imagine the funding cuts stopping a decade ago. Imagine the Department of Health not cancelling its pandemic preparedness programme before covid struck. Imagine still having the right to walk in the street to protest against climate change or still having the right to tell the whole truth in your trial for protesting.

          Imagine Teresa May never being prime minister or never being home secretary or using government money to have vans drive round London saying “Immigrants go home”.

          Imagine Boris Johnson never being Prime Minister and Ed Milliband being sensitive and sensible the night before the Queen mourned alone instead of partying against his own covid regulations.

          Imagine Liz Truss never having been Prime Minister, that there was no Trussonimics, mortgage payments didn’t explode and inflation didn’t jump to levels last seen in the 80s (after the Conservatives had promised to fix inflation then made it far, far worse).

          Imagine Rishi Sunak never being Prime Minister and somehow turning a thumping majority in the house of commons into a weak-willed premiership that let the loony right wing drive the policy agenda for the nation whilst voting against cabinet decisions with impunity.

          Imagine a country that had been invested in instead of sucked dry.

      Yup they have 3 choices:

      We’re getting it right and we’re on the right path

      Better the devil you know, it’ll be worse with the other guy

      Time for change

      This is 2 and 3, It’s terrible now, time for change or you’ll be stuck with the other guy.

      Rishi is running on 1 and 2, we’re on the right path, better with us than chaos with Labour

    I don’t think anyone can stop the chaos since we are at the whim of global events. Kier can probably improve things by aligning us closer with the EU again.

    In my opinion the riskiest thing about the Torys is that the fringe elements seem to have much more power in their party than Labour at the moment. I can’t imagine what kind of thought process the party members had when electing Liz Truss, but there are so many of them who are just absolute zealots. Pensioners who are detatched from the world of business and reality in general.
