I'm sure both sides of the spectrum would equally get their snouts in were they all to have the same chance. But its easy when an opposition backbencher to claim the memorial high ground as noone wants to "buy you"
I’m not sure what my ‘petty allegiance’ is...or that I’ve provided any ‘analysis’...just a few observations about the last few years.

As regards the ‘opposition’...I take your point, but how you think the current opposition might go on to behave doesn’t really matter...it’s what’s happening at the moment - and for the last few years - that should concern us.

So, if I were to suggest to you that since the 2019 General Election there have been more examples of dishonest and disingenuous behaviour on behalf of our politicians...that the majority of that behaviour has been perpetrated by members of the Conservative Party...and that there have been more Government scandals during the same period than has been the case at any time during our lifetimes, would you disagree?
