Conservative MPs gambled and sacked Boris Johnson; now they’ve blown up their entire party!
A YouGov poll says the Tory membership wanted Liz gone and Boris back again. He enjoyed huge public support and won the Tories a stonking parliamentary majority. But, after 12 years in power, Tory MPs have lost the plot, seemingly more interested in mischief-making than winning elections. Do they still have a plan for running the country?
Well, the membership has got what they want – but will they be satisfied? My guess is they won’t. Liz is totally humiliated, but how on earth did the Tories ever believe she’d make a good leader? Just weeks after choosing her these arrogant self-indulgent clowns are squabbling and running scared. Party discipline has broken down and their leader has walked. What a mess! Most of us have stuff in our fridge that’s lasted longer than the past four chancellors.
MPs now demand they must decide on a new leader, blaming the party members for voting for Liz. Remind me who chose the final two candidates for the members to vote on!
On Friday, our MP was on the telly, boasting about Jacob Rees-Mogg being on the Island. No one else was invited. Not the press and certainly not the council. I can’t remember any previous MP being so childish and putting party politics above what’s right for the Island. Can you?
Bob was later spotted up on the Downs at Freshwater and, with things as bad as they are for the Tories, that could have been cause for concern. But he was only marching up the hill to be photographed with some walkers, and once that was done, he marched straight back down again. Whilst up there he Tweeted a picture of himself on the cliff edge. Was it a metaphor, a cry for help for his shambolic soon-to-be ex-leader or the perilous state of his party? Bob can never just ‘be’ somewhere, he always claims to be ‘leading’ people, including those cliff walkers. He should glance over his shoulder; all the followers Boris gained have deserted. He’s marching alone.
The worst kind of MP is someone willing to join constituents protesting for cleaner seas, having actually voted in parliament to fill the oceans with untreated sewage. I hope some of those present on Gurnard beach last weekend knew that. Bob certainly got a kicking on Facebook when he was idiotic enough to boast about being there.
Seely has plenty to say on Ukraine or China but nothing about the Island’s dismal education rankings or St Mary’s declaring yet another critical incident. Unless you’re near death or actually dying, for the fourth time in four months, our hospital is effectively closed to you. If you asked him how things are going at Kiev General, I’d bet he’d give you some sort of answer.
Seely is often hard to believe, and the same goes for St Mary’s press releases, including the ones about the childishly-named ‘Investing in our Future Programme’. You’d think they are awash with cash, rather than rationing hospital beds, as oddly they’ve sent £10 million of our cash over to Portsmouth’s QA Hospital, supposedly to build a new ward for poorly Islanders. Bob claimed to be thrilled by this apparent act of madness and the benefits to Islanders. Does he really think the ‘benefits’ will be ours, or more likely, the sick residents of Portsmouth?
I’d always planned on taking my chances at Southampton General if I got ill. Now with £10 million of our cash mysteriously gifted to Portsmouth’s QA, that’s probably a far better bet. They couldn’t turn me away, could they? They wouldn’t have the cheek!
