Aye, and there was Farage and his camp followers, playing to the masses with their quick, easy snake-oil cure for austerity, and then the Tories followed suit, playing equally dirty to win back the votes they were losing.
Johnson made it worse, playing to the ERG, normalising lying, breaking his own rules, and undermining the legal framework designed to keep governments accountable. Caught breaking the rules? Then we’ll tear up the rule book!
He prioritised personal ambition over truth over decency and honesty, and the same ethic or lack of them ran through the party. Anyone with integrity was forced out or to resign, leaving the sleazy, incompetent skip fire of a government we have at present, an attitude of ‘every man for himself’ until they finally get booted out of office.
