It really is difficult to fully comprehend the shamelessness of MPs who did nothing on an issue for 14 long years when their party was in government only to express moral outrage on that same issue months into a new government. These people are everything that’s wrong with our politics. - ThreadSky

Except these people ARE "our politics".

The system we live under ultimately has no system to reward honest people who genuinely want to help people.

Hence why it's swamped with shameless grifters looking out for themselves and their donors.

The system is the problem and always has been.

Yes. But also, Elon Musk is a prick.

Alas many of your peers let them control the narrative, so they get away with it again and again and again.

The Conservatives have only just found out about these grooming gangs. It's like they haven't read the Daily Mail in over a decade.

Listening to all the Tories expressing support for a new inquiry into grooming gangs. How come none of them resigned their cabinet positions when Johnson, as PM said inquiries into historical child abuse was " spaffing money up the wall."

£60 million spaffed up the wall said de pfeffel.

Not quite everything. It's bad, true. But a government supporting, arming and denying while cheerleading a genocide comes even lower.

These people are not our politics. They are the source of our entertainment while the politics happens. Please highlight the politics in action rather than the distraction - https://www.gov.uk

The conservatives really do deserve to be finished, it disgusts me to think about what will replace them, but as a party, their founding principles are gone.

The Tories claim to care about the safety of teenagers yet while in power they forced 1200 youth clubs to close, 4500 youth workers were made redundant and police numbers fell by 30,000.
