This writer has a simple message for Rishi Sunak and his merry band of money-making grifters and ship-jumping Tory rodents: “Goodbye and don’t let the door hit you where the good Lord spilt you.”

The general election has been called and not a moment too soon. Over the past 14 years, the Conservatives in government have pushed the standards of public life down so low that a rattle snake could not squeeze under their bar.

Britain isn’t just ready for change, it’s desperate for change.

The Tories have been taking the mickey out of the general public for over a decade.

We won’t be at the top of a Labour government’s agenda - Deirdre Heenan

‘Cut and run’ Cameron started a calamitous race to the bottom of useless, inept and farcical UK prime ministers. Had he been in the army instead of the Carlton Club, he would be facing a double charge of desertion and dereliction of duty.

Theresa May, the hapless handmaiden of political mediocrity, became PM by simply not being Boris Johnson.

Within a very short time May found herself surrounded like a goldfish in a pond with DUP piranhas and bottom-feeder Brexiters.
