Oh but I do have trust in politicians in Government!
I trust them to lie repeatedly
I trust them to give peerages to the undeserving
I trust them to line the pockets of their mates with our money
I trust them to come up with appalling policies that harm the most vulnerable people https://t.co/mOME40lGvc— Keith Burge (@carryonkeith) June 22, 2023
