Tory MPs have been caught sexually harassing women, and watching porn. Then it turns out some men got groped so now two MPs have decided enough is enough, harassing women is fine, but when it happens to men too its time to resign and get serious about it.

Hallelujah! The hypocrisy! I’m raging about it.

Please start paying attention to what is going on in the world and in the country. An ignorant, ill informed and uninterested electorate is a big reason why we’re in the mess we are.

The Tories rely on disinterest and cynicism in politics. They don't mind politicians all being seen as useless as the status quo benefits them.

Agree totally.

They've done a great job of getting those ho don't get involved onside by getting them to believe they are all as bad as each other so to accept this lot as just another bad bunch.

I'm embarrassed HH some of the electorate as I am by our cabinet

I voted yabu because (very gently) this stuff affects you and your children's present and futures. Well done for asking the question and taking an interest.
As others have said the Prime Minister knowingly promoted a known sex offender into a high level job and then lied (via his spokespeople and other MPs) repeatedly about it. This is on to of 2 years of scandal and general incompetence/ corruption.
I am not a Labour supporter particularly but it's very difficult to understand how anyone could think the Tory party are fit to govern the country given how cravenly they have (almost) all supported, enabled and tried to justify appalling behaviour.
None of this is about brexit vs remain or left vs right. Its about basic decency and the simple rules we should all agree on.
