'Warring hat-trick of Tory calamities are a tragedy for the British people'

Three's a catastrophic crowd with Liz Truss and Boris Johnson believing they, not Rishi Sunak, should be Prime Minister.

The warring hat-trick of Tory failures, an unholy trio of Conservative calamities, is a tragedy for a Britain enduring growing problems they helped create.

From record falls in living standards and an economy forecast to do worse than sanctioned Russia this year to an NHS on its knees and the wave of strikes, shouting “Covid” and “Putin” are fast becoming rejected Tory excuses.

And fatally weak Sunak’s unable to silence a pair of noisy predecessors during what feels the last days of a collapsing regime after 13 years in office.

Deranged Truss ludicrously blaming everybody except herself for pulling the plug on an economy on life support should have doctors in flapping white coats carting her away.

Liar Johnson stalking Sunak, plotting a comeback to the cheers of the Tory’s most deranged MPs, deserves to be handcuffed to a prison guard.

Sunak's inability to shake off Boris Johnson shows his feebleness (PA)

Sulking Sunak’s inability to shake off this pair reveals his lethal feebleness, a deadly impotence.

Take teetering Dominic Raab, a Justice Secretary facing multiple bullying charges. Sunak isn’t strong enough to sack him after dawdling on tax fined Nadhim Zahawi

The Keir Starmer punch he isn’t up to a big job hit Sunak hard, as the truth often does.

The Tory squabbling troika of Me-Me-Mes are in it for themselves

In Japan the three wise monkeys see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.

Here the three Tories spot no solutions, never listen to working people and spout only nonsense.

The crowd talking to themselves have never sounded or looked more isolated from the country.

Labour's Luke Pollard is calling for tighter gun control (PA)

MP shouldn't still be fighting for pump-action gun ban

The UK gun lobby isn’t as strong as in the US, mercifully, but Luke Pollard’s struggle shows it still has clout.

The Plymouth MP shouldn’t still be fighting to ban the keeping of pump-action shotguns in homes 18 months after women-hating extremist Jake Davison murdered five people in the Devon city.

If the Tories won’t protect lives, outlawing these weapons in our communities could make a line in Labour’s manifesto.

Rattled Sunak weighing up joining Putin and Belarus

Joining Putin’s Russia and puppet Belarus as a third country outside the European Convention on Human Rights is a dangerous if shallow threat by rattled Sunak.

Dangerous when joining a couple of dictatorships by quitting a body Churchill helped establish after the horrors of the Second World War would trash Britain’s global reputation.

And shallow because enough saner Tory MPs would sink the odious plan, whatever frustrations they share over Channel crossings.
