And so it begins, despite all the promises that they could be trusted, at the first opportunity, Boris Johnson has reverted to type and slipped through an 'amended' EU Withdrawal Bill which is not quite the 'oven ready' deal which he was presenting before the election.
While nobody was looking, he has removed promises on protecting workers’ rights, on parliament’s role in scrutinising and approving future trade negotiations, and on protecting child refugees.
Although all alarming, the removal of scrutinising and approving future trade negotiations leaves the way open for the US a trade deal which would allow American firms access to the NHS and the agreement to reduce Food Standards to allow American Chlorinated Chicken and Hormone fed beef as well as GM Crops.
Despite a show of flat out lies before the election, the 40 New Hospitals which turned to to be 6, the 50,000 more nurses which was actually half that and the emphasis on crime by employing 20,000 Police which isn't enough to replace the 21,000 they got rid of, voters still elected them with a thumping majority.
What that thumping majority means is that the Conservatives can pretty much get anything they want through Parliament because altogether the rest of the house do not have the numbers to stop them.
We are about to find out just what a right wing Conservative Party unleashed can do, and just like Margaret Thatcher's Conservatives in the 80's, it will be diabolical.
They are called the Nasty Party for a reason as we will be finding out soon enough and if you were suckered in by the pre-election spin, more fool you.
