Ersatz Tories

 Starmer is saying Labour should go further right faster. He is just echoing Mandelson. Why on earth should anyone vote for Ersatz Tories when the real Tories are available?

North of the Border, Boris is in trouble. The probable majority in Holyrood will be for independence. Like a victorian Imperialist, Boris is asserting his divine right to rule Scotland whether those Scottish types want him to or not.

His arrogance will be his downfall.

One voter interviewed by the BBC voiced a common view. He voted Tory because he believed Boris Johnson's boast that the vaccine rollout was due to him (and of course to the twin gods of greed and capitalism).

The rollout of the vaccine was a victory for the NHS. For any politician to claim credit will only increase vaccine skepticism.

Tories voted against the founding of the NHS and trade-union-sponsored MPs voted solidly in favour.

The long march for a new workers' party continues!

Anyone who thinks voting Conservative is in their interests might ponder this little cartoon.
