Small Mercies: Serial liar withdraws from Tory leadership race (following another lie about numbers)

FORMER Prime Minister Boris Johnson issued the following statement last night:

Johnson’s final acceptance that the anticipated support just isn’t there for him clears the way for a run-off between hot favourite Rishi Sunak and Penny Mordaunt – but only if the latter can attract enough votes among her fellow Tory MPs. That’s looking increasingly unlikely.

If she can’t reach the 100 vote target, we can look forward to the anointing of Rishi Sunak as our new Prime Minister, with the Tory party membership having no say.

Contest or coronation? We’ll know at 2pm.

Letters: truly the nasty party

Dear Editor

The Conservative government always resorts to playing off one section of the population against another. They tried it against people who have to claim different benefits, calling them scroungers, they tried it against people who have disabilities affecting work possibilities, calling them work shy. This tactic carried on over years did create some division, which fortunately is now being overcome.

Now they are at it again, this time trying to create division between pensioners and young people, saying pensioners are now very financially comfortable at young peoples’ expense!

Always the objective of divide and rule is to impose what they wish on both sections. Watch for the stepping up of this particular effort.

They truly are the ‘nasty party’.

Thank You,
