Wilson and Heath were both competent PMs. Their records are there for all to see. They spoke like leaders and their behaviour in Parliament was not like the playground spats we see nowadays.
Callaghan was not as capable, but he was still a gentleman.
Neither Johnson nor Truss are fit to lace the shoes of any of those three.
From the post war Attlee government right up to (but not including) the Thatcher years successive administrations put the country first. Ted Heath took the country into Europe. Perhaps some at the time didn’t think it was a good idea, but boy oh boy! We’ve learned the hard way that it definitely was.
Since the me, me, me, loadsamoney 80s the Tory party has been about what’s in it for us? Look after yourself and your mates. Grease the palms of the big party investors. Dismantle services, transport, power, industries, the NHS. Let’s give tax cuts to the fat cats who support the party. Let’s cut benefits for those on low incomes because they’re not putting money into the economy anyway.
The gap between rich and poor has never been wider but nothing has been done about it. Instead the government have wasted billions on Brexit, HS2 and unusable PPE they got from their chums during the pandemic.
They are not a party of the people they are a party of self interest.
And before words are put in my mouth, I’m talking about those in power. I don’t for one minute believe every Tory voter is like that.
