New depths.
Yesterday the government announced that after 14 years it is the party of security.
Well, it is a great pity that it has left a trail of redundant police officers, open borders, mothballed ships, under supplied troops and the smallest army since before Napoleon, to show us how it really takes our security seriously.
The NHS tells a similar story, underfunded and uncared for by a party that seems to be able to find the money to cut NI contributions but not for the NHS which is funded by NI contributions.
The IFS, in a report out today, points out that health funding has not risen so slowly in 40 years and the current two year freeze in spending hasn’t happened since the 1950s. It is not like we have record waiting lists or anything.
So there you have it terrible defence and a collapsing health service.
Meanwhile the PM seems to be making party political speeches behind the official governmental No. 10 logo on his lectern.
Surely there used to be a time when the Civil Service would have vetoed that?
Strange that the new woke, politically correct, government betraying, blob of a left wing, civil service cannot even stop the Conservative party hijacking the emblems of state for its own party political purposes.
Meanwhile the PM’s desperate search for a policy, or weapon which will succeed against Labour continues. And the more he searches the deeper he sinks into the deeply cynical, Australian style attack campaigning that we are going to see a great deal of in the coming months.
This week alone the Conservatives have used the old Republican TV advert trick of a “revolving door for prisoners”, to attack Sir Kier. When it is going to release prisoners early because of prison overcrowding.
It is not just the UK’s defence or its health service that are reaching new depths, so is the Tory party.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.

And now Grant Schapps (or whatever he’s called this week) is criticising Labour for not having a plan to increase defence spending. F*cking nerve when the tories are just saying they will increase spending by “finding savings” - bit like getting rid of NI payments - knowing they won’t be anywhere near power when all this (doesn’t) come to pass. Salting the earth after 14 years of misery and zero investment. No plan, no clue, no hope and zero trust and confidence
