(The National Pulse) Britain’s governing Conservative Party faces being routed from office because it simply isn’t conservative, Donald Trump has remarked, in an illuminating interview with former Brexit leader Nigel Farage.
The 45th President of the United States was asked during a 30-minute ‘GB News’ interview about the prospect of a Labour government. Farage suggested that “after 13 years of the Conservatives people [are starting] to think: ‘Maybe [time for] a change?’”
Trump, demonstrating a keen understanding of the RINO-like behavior of the nicknamed ‘Tory Party’, cut in unprompted, saying they may not be facing their current dire polling numbers “if [they] stayed conservative.”
“[T]hey really weren’t staying conservative… they were literally going far left. It never made sense,” he said.
“I’m saying this as an outsider, but an outsider looking in: they were going far left… I can tell you, they were not conservative policies toward the end,” he added.
“Tory MPs, Boris included, are renowned flip-floppers. Where they stood on any issue yesterday has no bearing on where they might be tomorrow. Indeed, they’re often offended at even an expectation of consistency.”

Boris Johnson “Changed”.
Which policies the former president had in mind is unclear, but the Conservatives have indeed turned their backs on most of the pledges they made to their voters in various manifestos prior to the 2010, 2015, 2017, and 2019 general elections.
Fracking is banned, the tax burden is at its heaviest since the Second World War, immigration is higher than ever, and a bill to heavily restrict free speech online has been introduced, among other missteps.
