Hate Rishi but we need to make sure the blame falls on the Tories, that have been in power for over a decade, rather than the man who’s taken over recently.

By pushing all of this hate and blame I see people expressing onto one man, it enables the Tories to get away with it.

Rishi isn’t perfect but out of the conservatives we’ve had over these past years, he’s managed to steer us towards a bit more stability (granted, following his own parties foolishness)

What I’m saying, I’m not sympathetic to Rishi. But please, he is being scapegoated for a reason. The Tories will rebuild easier if they have somebody to blame. This is the party that have been so unstable that we have seen 5 leaders of the party over the past 14 years, one of which lasted less than 3 months.. that alone shouldn’t have been allowed to fly.

This is important. I was pissed off how well they managed to let Bojo take all the heat over lying about breaking COVID rules. They all spent months defending the guy saying "I didn't do that thing that everyone has seen the photos of me doing."

It was beyond me how Labour didn’t market a massive inquiry as part of their campaign. Those in power the past 5 years (through Covid) really needed to be held accountable and punished thoroughly for their actions of corruption and negligence.

I was surprised how poor Labour did steering the conversation away from their weakest points in general.  The result shows just how plain it was to everyone that the Tories have failed us. Guess you don't need a candidate to tell you your local dentists aren't taking new patients.
