‘Condescending hooray Henries’ without conscience

Sir, – Has the UK Government ever been in such a mess?

The Tories repeatedly talked the talk about levelling up the north (of England) – even appointing a levelling-up minister. They had, over a few generations, destroyed the industrial heartlands of northern England and this was their opportunity to finally fix things. Then, with one fell swoop, they break three headline manifesto pledges which will undoubtedly hurt the north the most – namely cancelling HS2 to Leeds, increasing NI contributions and abolishing the pension triple lock. What is the point in making serious manifesto pledges when they are broken so freely?

We then have a bunch of unprincipled, dishonest morons, many of whom are involved in law-making, repeatedly breaking the law at a time of utmost crisis by turning Downing Street into party central. This was when decent law-abiding people were being forced to Facetime loved ones in their final hours and the country was in a period of official mourning.

These moronic, patronising, condescending hooray Henries see themselves above the rest of us and they even sneer at senior party colleagues, dismissing them as “lightweights “or simply as being from “Elgin” as if it was some far-flung planet.

Surely these people have no conscience and they have plumbed new depths in terms of government behaviour.

Fortunately, the people of Scotland have a promising, viable way out of this cesspit of corruption and lies.

A way that is already recognised by the vast majority of our younger voters and increasing numbers of our older voters.
