Saying the two types of Tory party of then and now would be a futile exercise. The Tories of old had a, rightly deserved, reputation of decency, integrity and honesty. This new lot cannot even spell the words nevermind abide by them. The only merit of getting a Cabinet post is being a Vote Leave disciple, ability is a bonus. Take Hancock and the "App" for a nice example:

"We backed both horses" - and worked on two apps at once. On-record statement Department of Health on May 18: "There is no alternative app."

The government had "worked closely with Apple and Google". Apple said: "It is difficult to understand what these claims are as they haven't spoken to us."

"We discovered a technical barrier" that every other country with track and trace apps has found, says Health Secretary Matt Hancock. "Our app won't work because Apple won't change their system". Germany's app using the Apple platform is up & running with 10 million downloads in 3 days.

They just cannot help lying, it is in their nature and I am afraid they are in so deep with the debacle of the UK's handling of this crisis, we will see more of this crap.

Here's another example:

UK campaigners seek judicial review of £108m PPE contract award



It's legit, honest!
Absolutely. Lots of Tory supporters that I know say that the current lot don't represent them at all.
