Give it up for the new week!
Conservative Party starts making sympathetic smiles and winks towards motorists over ULEZ.
Then starts talking about powers to stop local authorities putting up 20mph limits.
A call to “stand up for motorists”.
(Next up, leaded petrol in every station for those poor classic car enthusiasts)
Seems to me the Tories are going into the General Election on “local issues” that they can then present themselves as the opposition to local government who are responsible for the decline in services. They know they’ll lose on the “big” national issues.
We got letters from our Tory MP a couple of days ago where there was absolutely NO Conservative branding at all. Photos of her standing in well-known locations about the town and the blurb was all about dealing with local issues. She’s been the MP for 15 years and is barely seen in the constituency (or in Parliament, either). She lives in a mansion in another county.
Lol, you have just described our MP (and I suspect most Tory mp’s!)
Whenever I see a photo of her I think of Nye Bevan’s comments about Tories being “lower than vermin”.
(I really should get a tshirt made of the quote and have it ready when the Tory canvassers knock.)
