Best Guardian readers comment : "Tory plants are easy to spot, just look for someone with a face dying for a good slap"

It really is unbelievable this complete nobody ever qualified to be Prime Minister. The pouring rain, the Wales own goal and the obvious Tory plants in the audience .........or perhaps it is a cunning plan to make us feel sorry for him. The average local councillor on the hustings prepares and...

That's quite right. Most people seem more interested in Strictly, Bake Off and getting their triple cheeseburger from Deliveroo than showing the slightest interest in what's going on in this country. That is of course their right but it doesn't bode well for the future. If the Tories get...

I think even the Mafia have certain standards

The Tories have a habit of looking after their posh, public school educated chums. Ms Mone, a Scottish lassie from Glasgow East, might be getting a bit nervous

Sunak and Shapps look like two spivs who have just sold you a clapped out Ford Cortina which will break down two miles down the road

As Sir Humphrey would have said about the Covid enquiry : "Minister, two basic rules of government: Never look into anything you don't have to. And never set up an enquiry unless you know in advance what its findings will be"

In the USA a lot of Democrats said they could not bring themselves to vote for Hillary and we all know what happened. They didn't make the same mistake twice. I'm not sure we've learned that lesson yet in the UK

Sunak's "Integrity, professionalism and accountability" seems to be going well so far.

Yep, QAnon (UK) is not far off

So the government is going to push through legislation to make it illegal for public sector workers to go on strike. Meanwhile oil companies continue to make obscene profits with no sign of a windfall tax being imposed. Yet people continue to vote for this corrupt government. It really does...

Samuel Johnson could not have put it more succinctly when he said "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel"
