3 more years of this gaslighting, racist, performative bullshit factory (Tories for short) running what’s left of this country into the drain…

In the past few days she said that she has a plan for the energy bill crisis but didn’t say what it was, saying she’ll make an announcement within a week. I predict it’ll be a freeze at the high level they are now, thereby creating an increase in the Tories popularity and then within a few weeks of that she’ll dissolve Parliament for a new election claiming that she wants to have a mandate from the British people. This may also allow Johnson to step down thereby avoiding/neutering the continued farce of determining whether he lied to Parliament (he obviously did) which could have grave ramifications to the validity of Parliament as a whole, something that the Tories, as the embodiment of the establishment has a vested interest in.
Coincidentally we now have voter ID laws after a long history of virtually no voter ID fraud.
Also Labour have been unable to capitalise on the Tories disarray and don’t provide any actual alternative to deal with the utter shit show we look to be facing for at least the next 2-3 years, along with their current leadership distancing itself from the trade union movement that spawned the party in the first place.

The more time they spend doing that, the less they can spend fucking up the country.

The prices are already unaffordable for a lot of people. If she does this she might delay the riots, but nothing more.

The fighting is producing some of the most idiotic right wing nonsense, and with the client media we have voices of sanity against the lunacy of Brexit go largely unheard so questions like why should people in the 5th largest economy in the world have to choose between heating and eating this winter, and why is pumping raw sewage into our rivers OK? do not need to be answered by any leadership candiates.

I’ve given up on the Tory party ever finding someone with a spine to answer those questions (because the answer to most would be don’t bother electing us again), and Labour seems to be third waying their way to something similar, but more milquetoast… So letting the country burn might get enough people to take a critical look at what they haven’t done, or preferred to do instead of helping people? It’s not much, but shame, human decency, empathy and other values are no-shows, and I certainly don’t want cheese-Thatcher working on actual government policy.
