Exactly, look him in action, tells voters what they want to hear, reinforcing to them they have done the right thing voting Tory

Lol, they seem to get a kick out of pointless lying. How many more police officers and new hospitals were they talking about during the election? It seems so long ago now. Trump tactics, keep fibbing enough, even small ones and no one can keep up to call each one out. Like a dead cat factory.

Virgin pro eu Brexit hater: actually we secured the vaccines under such protocol 0637373.483838-8838383838584838 and could do this without brexit
Chad brexiteer nan killer: absolute mad man in dept of health just ordered 300 million untested vaccines and told the eu procurement team to fuck off? Turns out they work really well???

Boris is KILLING it tho (exscuse the pun), these are not just headlines or faff, algorithm manipulations, these are functional wins:
He got brexit done
Brexit inextricably gave us a better/ quicker vaccine roll out
His party is almost comically evil on migration
His party delivered a furlough package which was truly exceptional for big business and profession workers in long term work, while a mortgage protection package which saved home owners and land lords
His party is comically evil on social issues
He’s matched the “get on with it....actually stop stop!’ Stopppp!!!!....ok let me see my nan again” tone of the public over lockdown

No wonder he done well in an election, these are huge wins for his base and party, of course he had fuck ups too, but lmao, memory holes are nothing knew in politics and the public. Not least against a party who either supported all these things, or mumbled critique on the side lines
Extracting one difference point here is how the furlough package was not so great to those onflexible/ 0 hour contracts, or hit low wage workers in rented accommodation the worst, they were getting less pay, more likely to be laid off and the only person getting support was their landlord on their mortgage payments.
Then when they were let go from work there wasn’t even a meaningful challenge on unemployment reform.
This doesn’t make one vote for the tories, but it does make one just not show up / put their vote elsewhere. Especially for local elections where people are aware they won’t see large scale changes / pivots in policy nationally.
Mr forensic statesman losing because he can’t cut the vibe is a bit weak, he’s up against a scoring opponent while trying to haggle for a VAR review.
