Ironically getting Brexit done would end up being the death of the Tories. 🤣
Anyone that was seriously paying attention in 2019 knew this would happen. There's no version of Brexit that benefits the UK and the best the Tories could have done was blame the failures of it on someone else - but that massive GE win cemented that all this failure fell on them.
Prior to 2019, it was easy to blame labour and the rest of parliament for constantly blocking any Brexit bill they tried to push through, but not with a majority that big.
Nobody could have predicted the pandemic, but anyone who's paid attention to the Tories for more than 5mins could have easily predicted that they'd use it as an excuse to bung their mates and siphon off even more public money. It was a grand ol' time, unlimited public funds for their mates if they just half heartedly promised to find some PPE but also don't worry about it because fuck the poor people, let the bodies pile high.
The Tories absolutely deserve annihilation at the next GE and they only have themselves to blame.
They won't die. The party system is far too entrenched.
