But such is the confidence of the Tories and any lack of credible opposition that believe they can do anything they please and get away with it.......and they’re probably right.

Fundamentally the Tories have successfully shifted the dial on what is, and isn’t, acceptable conduct in a public office (and use of public funds) for the vast majority of the population.
I dare say 20 years ago, possibly even 10, there’s about five sackable offences here regardless of which party it is or which party you support. And it wouldn’t even be contentious on a public forum.
And yes, the opposition being crap helps.
