I’m bored of politicians trying to ride out scandals, which put them in untenable positions, while their apologists say “what about Labour?” As if that is a defence.
There used to be some consequence for such matters in previous Tory and Labour governments. Now, post-Johnson there’s the endless wriggling, shrugging of shoulders and comments about how others are just as bad or are hypocrites. Meanwhile nothing gets done about the misdeed, it gets lost in the messy defence.
All their defences do nothing to actually justify such scandals, it’s all about how others do it too or critics are too stupid to understand how their deeds are actually above boat. None of it gives any kind of justification and the party who preaches personal responsibility to the public, and how we shouldn’t rely on welfare or whatever for ‘personal responsibility’, never have any personal responsibility themselves.
