Watch: Rory Stewart dismantles Boris Johnson on BBC Question Time

“He lurches sometimes to the right, sometimes to the left. But always in the direction of his own self interest.”

Rory Stewart has slammed the PM during BBC’s Question Time.

Stewart was challenged by GB News presenter Tom Harwood about the “mythical centre of British politics”, and presented with the suggestion “this has been a very, very centrist government”.

Stewart replied: “Not at all. I think the centre of British politics is about integrity. And in the end, the single thing that compromises everything he does is the lack of trust, the lack of integrity.”

Bizarre version of Berlusconi’s Italy

“He lurches sometimes to the right, sometimes to the left. But always in the direction of his own self interest.

“Politics is becoming really dismal. Very, very sadly, the opposition is much, much better at criticising than producing any positive policies of its own. I think there is a huge, vacant hole in the centre of British politics for practical, sensible politics and instead, we are going into some kind of bizarre version of Berlusconi’s Italy.

“And the reason you cannot govern is that every week there is going to be another scandal, another by-election, another parliamentary committee and every week we are going to have this list of ‘mays’. He may do something on housing, he may do something on tax, rehash another press release to try to get him through the week.

“Let’s get rid of Boris and when we do, let’s make a better British politics.”

Watch

The fight to keep Boris Johnson in office leaves no space for proper strategy or policy.
All the policies that appear from the PM from now on will be rushed, rehashed desperate attempts to prolong his survival by another few months.
The UK cannot be governed in this way. https://t.co/g6MmPjbVbP

Is Rory Stewart still a Conservative? He strikes me as too intelligent and decent a person to align himself with a party in which few have the capacity for deep thought, a sense of duty or care for others.

I am by no means right wing. I can’t see any future in which I would vote conservative. But in fairness to Rory Stewart, he’s a genuine conservative. Not like the charlatans in the Conservative party now. Would I vote for him? No. I wouldn’t. But I’d understand why others would.

Rory is far too intelligent and humane to remain in the conservative party.
I am a labour voter but would support Rory .
