No point paying *any* attention to the Tory manifesto. They shredded their last one. Brexit is a shitshow. Levelling up didn’t happen. Social care plan wasn’t ready. And they lied their arses off to us and broke it all while rolling around in the trough. Fact-check done. Bye.

So, the simpleton who screwed the country over with his dismal Brexit deal, then ran away when he couldn’t cope with its inevitable failure… has now set his sights on the NHS (that his Brexit failed to help). Who shrank the GDP, Frost? God. The nerve of these strutting halfwits.
