REMEMBER TWO-FACED TORIES?

→ 70% of Theresa May’s cabinet had been Remainers
𝗩𝗢𝗧𝗘 𝗧𝗢 𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗢𝗩𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗧𝗪𝗢-𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗦
Before she became the Brexit-supporting Prime Minister in July 2016, Theresa May batted for Remain.
Before he became the Brexit-supporting Prime Minister in July 2019, Boris Johnson had supported Britain’s membership of the EU.
Before she became the Brexit-supporting Prime Minister in September 2022, Liz Truss was a Remainer, strongly endorsing Britain’s membership of the EU.
Can you see the theme?
During the Referendum campaign, 70% of Theresa May’s Brexit cabinet had urged Britain not to do Brexit.
Those 16 cabinet ministers out of 23 - including the Prime Minister herself - had solemnly declared that it was in the country’s best interests to remain IN the EU.
But immediately after the referendum, those 16 Tory politicians jumped at the chance to form a government to take Britain OUT of the EU.
Something that directly contradicted their advice that this would seriously damage the country and its citizens.
▪ Could the facts have changed so fast?
▪ Had the reasons they gave to support EU membership suddenly disappeared?
No. None of the facts had changed.
Those Tories had simply changed their tune to keep their jobs.
This was all about power, not principles.
These are two-faced Tories.
They put themselves and their party BEFORE the country.
Yes, Rishi Sunak too.
He became the fourth Brexit Prime Minister in October 2022 fundamentally against the EU and its Single Market - but promoted and facilitated Northern Ireland being in the Single Market because, he said, it was in their best interests.
But not in the best interests of England, Scotland, and Wales.
Two-faced. Two-faced.
It’s time to remove these two-faced Tories from office. That’s our opportunity on Thursday 4 July.
Vote tactically.
We’ll get a Labour government who have also been two-faced on Brexit.
After all, Labour supported remaining in the EU for reasons that have not changed.
And after the referendum, in 2020, Keir Starmer supported a return to free movement of people, but has now dropped that pledge - oddly citing the referendum as the reason why.
But Labour will be a welcome change to the Tories. And they hopefully will at least inch us closer to the EU.
And if you live in a constituency where there’s at least a chance that a pro-EU party or politician could win, grab the chance.
Share today’s video. People need to know the truth. And the truth about Brexit will, eventually, be its undoing.
