Any more than percentage honesty is usually impossible in defence and trade matters to state the very obvious. Since WW2 Britain's declining military power combined with military procurement and staffing policies more about maintaining employment, training the unqualified and maintaining the officer class. Than actual effective military conventional and tactical nuclear capability means UK military and naval success has largely been achieved by bluff and outright deception.

The current British political system of Parliament is from an ancient era when truth and honour mattered. If we are living in a 'post truth era', then the entire Parliamentary system needs to be drastically reformed. We need a political system where minister's speeches in Parliament are routinely fact checked, with very serious penalties for ministers who misinform Parliament. It can no longer be acceptable for MPs to enjoy Parliamentary privilege and the assumption that they are honest and truthful without holding them to account.

@Human_Herbivore Жыл бұрын

As the years and decades of have gone by the Conservative party has seen how far it can push not working for those who vote for it. Seems to me we have reached a point where they believe so strongly that they are above the law that it doesn't matter one jot what they do. They just do what they want and demonstrate that voting Conservative is an exercise in self harm.

@John Holly oak The ability to understand the laws they write? It's the lowest bar you could set for a government, but if they're buying Boris Johnson's idiot defence, then they're unfit for anything.

Possibly. They might need him in some capacity, maybe an advisor in the next election, assuming he is chucked out. Then his seat becomes under a bye election. My guess is he will be suspended, but at some point he will have a role to play. I cannot see Sunak winning the next GE as things stand.
