I wonder if they would stand down if they had a chance of winning.
Now is the time to grift to the maximum. The hard work and favours have been done over the last decade. Running the country into the ground and diverting billions to Tory backers.
It's time to collect on those favours now, the ex Tory MP's will sit on company boards, take up consultancy roles etc, earning millions for very little.
It stinks but is the Tory way. They have done it since Victorian times. Whilst the average man made little from the Industrial Revolution and was barely above a slave, thousands of others died pillaging across the globe at the behest of their betters.
Did the country benefit as a result or did a small number of families? That wealth remains in those families, they continue to influence and corrupt. They underpay taxes, whilst taking every handout available. The country suffers and the working man continue to be oppressed.
Global corporations have joined this elite grift but the Tory party is the mechanism for it.
Why else would billionaire want to be a PM? It's certainly not to be a public servant, it's selfish influence, greed and corruption.
The worst thing is, these people aren't even bright, their wealth allows them to create greater wealth. Look at the cess pit that is the Tory party, they are a bunch of complete freaks.
