The week in Tory is back, after just five days, and it’s as brutal as ever

Former Commons speaker Baroness Boothroyd said she had never in her parliamentary life seen such a collapse of people’s trust in a government, which was now “groping for desperate solutions to problems it said would not arise” or be easily resolved.

She said the Prime Minister had “set the course we are on and shows no remorse for steering it off course”.

Lady Boothroyd told the House of Lords: “Future historians won’t need a test and trace operation to find those responsible if we end up in a legal battle in the Supreme Court and an economic crisis that rivals the 1930s depression.”

Week in Tory

With Boothroyd’s criticism ringing in his ears, Russ in Cheshire has returned to Twitter with another week in Tory, this is only after five days.

He Tweeted: “#TheWeekInTory returns, and I’m very sorry, but it’s a monster. The little scamps have achieved quite a lot in the – yep – FIVE DAYS – since the last one. Let’s dive straight in with probably the most gobsmacking sentence you’ll read all year…”
