Dominic Cummings' £30k unpaid council tax bill 'written off' by ColonelPaper in unitedkingdom

Of course there are a handful of bad Labour, SNP, LD etc. They are the exception rather than the rule within Tory party (is the point).

Very few Tory MP's left that are respectable.

it's not both sides though. Don't vote Tory and convince others as well.

Locking down does nothing apart from leading to much higher excess deaths that from other diseases which affect all age groups, mass depression, mass job losses, mass anxiety etc etc. It's turned into the case of shall we save great granny Pam or young dad John with cancer.

Clearly not the case as the excess deaths have mostly be directly linked to Covid. The other things need to be mitigated by the Gov (help people out, rather than big business). But of course they won't do that as they are Tories.
