Instead, he is just trolling us, continuing the right-wing journey that preceded him. By appointing:
- Badenoch, anti-trans and anti-equal marriage "culture war" hero as Minister for Women and Equalities
- Braverman, a facist-wannabe who is proud of her mission to remove our freedoms
- Coffey, in charge of the environment ... just think what damage this witless idiot can cause here
- Hunt, who is actively designing Austerity 2.0 as we speak
The list goes on ..
Just to be clear, by far the worst appointment is Braverman. She will go first I suspect. It is also remarkable how people who you may have thought were rationale, objective thinkers stand up an applaud such a person. It shows how much this country has changed regards its politics and what people are comfortable in now saying out loud.

If you want to be generous - and I’m not really but to be the devil’s advocate - he has no real mandate from the country or membership. A couple of MPs with a dozen or so friends each could collapse his Premiership sooner rather than later.
Essentially the problem is the Conservative party as a whole.
