The Left doesn't like normal people - they threw them under the bus within days of taking office - Royston Smith

In trying to rebuild and reinvent itself, the Conservative Party will have to acknowledge that it bears much of the responsibility. I don’t believe the Conservative Government are wholly responsible but I do think they showed a shocking weakness in government that led us to where we are now.

Those I hold most responsible are the left-wing establishment. The UK is naturally conservative but the establishment is not. The public sector has long since stopped prioritising the public choosing instead to prioritise themselves. Unions are more interested in their members than the people they are paid to serve.

The Civil Service, while exceptional in parts, is riddled with activists and blockers. The police are always available to wear rainbow epaulettes or take the knee but are rarely around to respond to burglary and anti-social behaviour.

Schools are indoctrinating our children with woke ideology, while the Tavistock Clinic was prescribing puberty blockers to thousands of kids with no thought of the consequences.

Universities are banning speakers they don’t agree with; the public sector obsess with pronouns and politically motivated lanyards while successive governments constantly ignore the silent majority. No one wants to go to work.

The civil service is doing two days a week in the office while our nurses and soldiers, plumbers and bricklayers have to travel to work every day. The trains don’t run because £65,000 salary for a train driver is not enough. Junior doctors are about to receive a 22% pay rise and are threatening more strike action. GPs are working to rule, not that you would notice, the courts don’t work on weekends so criminals are wandering around the streets or squeezed into overcrowded prisons on remand.

The NHS will not embrace technology or many of the practices of their European counter parts, so more people die unnecessarily from preventable illness than most comparable countries.The Labour Government claim to have a mandate to govern.

Numerically that is accurate, but when only 20% of those eligible to vote turn out to vote Labour, it's hardly a ringing endorsement. Their first act in government was to blame everyone else and then break their election promises.

Do we seriously believe the silent majority will remain silent forever when they are constantly ignored and sneered at by the left-wing London dinner party circuit, frequented by the likes of Sir Keir Starmer, James O’Brien and Gary Lineker?

Why would we be surprised that trust in the establishment is so broken when former senior civil servant and Boris Johnson investigator, Sue Gray, becomes Keir Starmer’s Chief of Staff and the former Governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, publicly endorses Labour and Rachel Reeves at the Labour Party Conference.

The left doesn’t care about normal people, they don’t like them. They threw them under a bus within days of taking office.

The British people are small C conservative, they don’t like change and they know what a woman is. They are not racist but they resent people coming here illegally. They are not against gay or trans people they just don’t need to be told what to think.

Trust is a thing of the past, but collectively the left and the left-wing establishment are like the emperor with no clothes. They refuse to see what is in front of them. It is not enough anymore to hope that the silent majority in this country will stay silent. I don’t think they will.
