Did you ever hear anything so disingenuous as Rishi's speech tonight?

Sounded like it was bashed together by an intern; he had to keep looking down because he hadn't memorised any of it

Full of absolute horseshit about how we've all worked together through hardship, and how well they've done, and fuckin awful, childish American-style verbal attacks on the opposition party FFS

Almost punched myself in the face to stop myself smashing the TV Rishi, thanks

At least he managed to stop the hundred quid notes falling out of his greedy bastard pockets when he walked away

Decent result. Only six weeks or so to endure.
