Re: Stop voting for fucking Tories

I see the Tory loons are out in force this morning demanding that Sunak 'change course', move even further to the right and emulate the party that secured a grand total of 2 councillors across the UK, rather than consider why it is that the election saw large swathes of former Tory voters switch to...
