I suppose the real issue I see is this;
The time for all these gits to grow a conscience was a month ago when a VOC was called, what’s really changed since? A few more instances of sleaze and brushed under the carpet breaches of parliamentary code, none of it really shocking anymore. I think the most telling thing is that they’re realising a cabinet post now comes with the implicit expectation that a minister will lie and obfuscate on behalf of dear leader, with no guarantees that he won’t subsequently contradict or hang them out to dry for it…
“Operation save Big Dog” has failed, not because the public are baying for the PM’s blood, but because he has demonstrated that he will sacrifice his most staunch supporters for another ten minutes in power…
For me all Tory MPs are tarred with the same brush of utter self-interest before their duty as parliamentarians, and I think that perspective may stick for a while, possibly till the next GE(?) we’ll see. But they’ve certainly given the opposition a pretty big stick to beat them with for a wee while yet…
