      ‘In a written guilty plea, Tugendhat said he was holding the phone but not using it and had later taken a driving course.’ Sounds like maybe also something approaching ‘irresponsible and dangerous’.

    4. He’s not wrong …now he should point out how the language regularly used by his party over the past decade has been quite irresponsible and dangerous

      If the police had not been politicized in recent years then you wouldn’t have a politician questioning their trustworthiness.

    6. Well that’s some garbage coming from the party that sabotaged our justice system and mental healthcare. Farage is just an irritating agitator, the Tories are the ones who incentivised and built the ground for all of this.

      They don’t get to just walk away from what they’ve done to this country.

    7. It’s all very inconvenient for the Conservative leadership candidates. A Conservative leadership contest is usually driven by who can be the most intolerant of the modern world and the most keen to move the country backwards, because their membership is ancient.

      The riots have forced every mainstream politician to stand up for modern British society and call for calm. Just at the time they would ordinarily be talking most loudly about how Britain in the old days when everyone who counted was a white heterosexual in a business suit.
