A saying I learnt fairly recently is that no conservative/reactionary/right winger argues or says virtually anything in good faith. That’s why the likes of those people we saw last night can stand up and confidently claim they wouldn’t have Johnson in their cabinet literally days after stoutly defending him. You could apply that to every topic they talked about, the economy, climate, Brexit, the NHS, even trans issues. They can’t be honest about their real views on anything of those things because if they did they’d be drummed out either by Tory members or the general public. While it’s all about tax cuts now, it’ll be some bullsh!t about 40 new hospitals at the election.
The next PM will disavow everything the previous guy did, because at the end of the day they don’t really believe in anything except their own self interest.
