Just had a frightfully posh Tory volunteer on the phone trying to convince me to vote Tory. I'd say I gave him short shrift, but he didn't get off that easily, it was definitely long shrift!

He seemed to make a definite effort to avoid discussing national issues, but I started with the disabled people killed by DWP sanctions, the increasingly corrupt nature of disability assessments, and then segued into their deliberate attempt to court the Reform vote by returning to their Nasty Party roots, throwing up first immigrants, then trans people, and then disabled people (again) as objects for hate. Told him they were deliberately indulging in bigotry to court the racist vote. 

Poor guy barely got a word in edgeways.

Honestly, you'd think they'd have a note against my number saying 'Lost Cause', or possibly 'Flee, you fools!'.
