LOL - I'll bet you believed Blair when he proclaimed he would be 'whiter than white'... I understood why, where and when he made that comment. You obviously do not. It was just another lie that you fell for.

To come back to the point then,
The Tory party ceased to be the Tory party the moment it dropped its opposition to IR35 and more to the point S666 and started blathering about unacceptable tax AVOIDANCE.
There are no real tories left. Real tories celebrate and encourage the LITTLE guy as well as the billionaire donor because they know that without todays ‘little guy’, tomorrows ‘little guy and sons’ and next decades and next century’s ‘far bigger guy with political donations’ will not come about
There are few real Labourites left either.
Gordon Brown entrapped thousands of sole traders with a false promise of a one off tax saving if they incorporated and in spite of the FSB and loads of other siren voices saying DONT DO IT because we knew it was a trap shitloads of accountants, the same scum who probably told the guy in number 11 his tax dodge in Gibraltar was legal, enticed the fools into the trap.
The literally tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of little guys with a van OUGHT to be labours prime target. Instead, they are that bloody woman (Newberry?)’s target for abuse because of their hankering for their national identity and live of a football game.
No, there are no decent politicians as there used to be.
There are just scum out to make a mint for themselves and lie their arse off to continue to rake in the £85k plus perks, expenses and a pension scheme to die for

The Brexit debate pushed the Tory Party more towards the Populist Right as against the Traditional Conservative Right.
We got Boris Johnson, who in turn was a catalyst for the new style of Populist Conservatives who became successfull in the Red Wall seats. It was a perfect storm, Boris was wanting to "get Brexit done", Labour was led by an outdated Socialist who was perfect for the media.
At the present time, the tide has turned against the Tories, they now have a traditional Conservative leader, and Labour now have a moderate leader with ideas and ideals that are attractive to a wide section of the electorate, including many dissafected Tories.

I don't think so, Sunak is more of a traditional Lib Dem leader. The Tories will get a kicking (well deserved in my opinion) at the next election, Labour may get in, and then the decline of the UK really will accelerate, a more bloated public sector, taxes through the roof, back under EU jurisdiction for just about everything, front bench consisting of David Lammy, Diane Abbott, Lady Nugee Thornbury, foul mouthed Raynor with all the old momentum crowd in the background.
Are there any decent Tories left? I think so, but the blob made sure they were pushed out into the cold when they got their man Sunak in.

You made a specific claim, had you tried to answer my post I would have shown you just how the evil insinuated lies pushed by the media and Tory propaganda merchants takes control of the minds of decent well meaning people like yourself.

Are you saying Blair was not a liar and manipulator. Both the Tories and Labour qualify for the same titles, particularly those currently serving. I've lived a life through lousy politicians but find it difficult to select any as bad as those we've had since the mid-sixties and, moreso, at present. The country is in crisis because Parliament is in crisis; Labour will not make any difference and may make it worse.

I have requested numerous times from people who label Blair as a liar for a list of his lies. I have yet to receive such a list.

They're probably frightened of getting writer's cramp, trty asking them for a list of truths. One of the funniest moments in Parliament was when Hague asked Blair a question and Blair started fumbling through his brief book. Hague shouted, "It's under F for falsehoods".

Are you smoking some heavy shit? - the highest taxation in 70's years - the highest public spending in 50 years - the highest level of immigration ever - the smallest military ever - the highest level of illegal cross channel migrants... ..you think these are traditional Conservative policies?

I think it would be impossible to claim anyone never lied, so the question is did he lie anymore than any other person. I suspect this is just mud slinging and hoping some might stick.

That is misleading. The highest spending yes but not a government policy, instead the result of a pandemic and a war.
