Jeremy Vine caller bemoans Tories – but says she’ll vote for them ‘just to keep Labour out’

A caller to the Jeremy Vine show prompted a bemused response from Marina Purkiss after she bemoaned the mess the Conservative government has created but said she will vote for them anyway.

Kath called into the show as the Tory Party faced yet more public humiliation on the back of the recent Dominic Raab revelations.

Downing Street is braced for the number of allegations in the bullying investigation into Raab to have swelled significantly after it was reported that at least 24 civil servants are involved in formal complaints.

It comes after Tory chairman Nadhim Zahawi faced a backlash over his tax affairs and the own prime minister broke another unwanted record by becoming the first prime minister to be handed not one but two spot fines from the police.

Calling into the Jeremy Vine show Kath berated the mess the party has made, but said they’ll get her backing regardless in 2024.
