I get tired of the '14 years of Tory chaos'. It's been a boring sound-bite. Tell me what was chaotic about 2010 to 2015. Austere, yes, but chaotic? I can see that Boris Johnson's personality and behaviour could cause folk to think of chaos, but I don't think there were 14 years of it. Still, it was nearly like Harold Wilson's '13 years of Tory mis-rule', so no doubt the advisors were pleased with it. It's been trotted out so much so it has caught on with some. NO, I didn't say that I don't think there was any chaos, but I question the '14 years'.

So, in your book, it was nine years. Does that make it OK? It’s been a bloody miserable 14 years either way.

I may be alone in this thought, but I would prefer no years of chaos in government.

And me. Ideally for the rest of my life.

I should think we all got tired of the 14 years of Tory chaos.

And I'm definitely in for a chaos-lees government if we can have one.

Well technically that was a coalition and I think one could make the case the lib dems kept the Tories in check a bit.
Michael Gove was pretty chaotic on schools from what I remember. And didn't we also have the "hostile environment" bit?

I think Lammy too. He's thick. You can only hide that for so long

Please define "thick" and please come back when you've read the Lammy Review in its entirety.

Yes. He should have gone earlier really, though I think the actual complaints are a bit over-egged. Not entirely relevant t9 a thread about Westminster though. Plus you seem a bit gleeful.
