A Toff choice
Posh TV celeb Georgia is set to ditch Tories
ONCE-PROUD Tory Georgia “Toff” Toffolo admits she does not know who she will vote for at the next election.
The ex-Made In Chelsea star, 29, has made no secret about her political allegiance since finding fame in 2014.
She has called Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg a sex god.
And she forged a jungle friendship with Boris Johnson’s father Stanley when she won I’m A Celebrity in 2017.
But she now believes Rishi Sunak’s government has fallen short of expectations and has let a lot of people down.
She said: “For the first time I might struggle to vote Conservative if I’m being really honest.”
Georgia added that she had confronted an un-named Tory MP at a fundraising lunch over government failings.
She said: “I was like ‘Can you just tell me three things that you’re proud of that the Tories have done in the past 14 years?’ They really struggled to answer.
“I was like ‘Well, we are where we are’.”
She went on: “The Government has really fallen short and I don’t think they have a chance at the next election.
“They’ve been given a huge mandate by the country and they’ve really fallen short.
DISAPPOINTED
“I feel like everyone else, just a bit disappointed. “They had a huge opportunity. A lot of people put their faith in them for the first time and I don’t think they’ve made much of it.
“I don’t know how I’ll vote. I know I will because I’ve written a lot about voter apathy among the young and I don’t think the solution to disengagement is not voting.”
Georgia, who has been campaigning outside Parliament with her spaniel Monty to have potentially dangerous glycotoxins removed from processed dog food, is not the only millennial thinking of ditching the Tories.
A poll last year showed nearly two-thirds of young people believe they deserve to lose office. Research by the centre-right think-tank Onward found the majority of millennials consider them dishonest, incompetent and out of touch.
And earlier this month a poll published by Statista showed more 18 to 24-year-olds planned to vote Labour (57%) than for all the other parties combined.
