I awoke to a Tweet that told me that there are only two types of Tories. True blue ones like Boris Johnson and Sir Jacob Rees Mogg, and then the closet socialists and traitors.
Apparently the long running civil war in the Tory party is now descending to the farcical. Only 7 MPs backed Boris Johnson when it came to a vote on his honesty, but they are the loyal core around which the new True Tory party will emerge.
It is not just Boris Johnson that has done this to the Tory party it is also Brexit.
But it is Boris who is throwing petrol on the fire, whose ego cannot admit defeat, who doesn’t care so long as he is in power.
The magnificent 7, the last best hope of true tories are truly dangerous. There is much more damage that this bunch can do to the UK if given half a chance.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.

I remember during the post Brexit vote period, right up to the Brexit event itself, exactly the same rhetoric on the Left of the political spectrum. There were, apparently, only two types of Labour members and supporters. The true "Socialist" ones like Corbyn, Skinner and McDonnell (basically lifelong, ideological Europhobes), and then the closet Tories like David Lammy, Yvette Cooper and Keir Starmer etc.
It's interesting how the Right of the Tory Party and the Left of the Labour Party are both possessed of an almost pathological hatred of the European Union, each accusing their Party dissenters of being traitors and closet supporters of the other Party.
