The Conservatives are the anti nanny state party, all about personal responsibility. Yet they take responsibility for nothing, bar if something goes well and then it is all about them even if others have done the heavy lifting.
Who do they blame? The last Labour government (after 14 years that is absolutely risible), the EU, immigrants, Jeremy Corbin, the unions, the workshy poor and Lorraine Kelly (the last may be made up but Scottish so they it’s really only a matter of time).
Latest is the EU and, obviously, strikes. Many are from sectors that have never been on strike before (from clapping for nurses to suggesting they will have blood in their hands if anyone dies, disgusting) and efforts to blame Labour are struggling, not least because many of the unions involved are not affiliated to any political party. And the “look what it would be like under Labour” is just plain daft - it’s happening on your watch!!!
And that just leads into the cost of living crisis - sure, exacerbated by covid and the war in Ukraine (and Brexit!) but with wages having stagnated for more than a decade this was a long time in the making but they will expend all their energy on blaming others, it’s the Tory way.
