Boris Johnson and ‘old boys network’ not fit for office – Yorkshire Post Letters

THE Conservative Party under Boris Johnson unfortunately now represents an Old Boys network – not meritocracy.

It does not end here. Maintenance of wealth gap not equality; political dogma not creativity; secrecy not transparency; throwing into the long grass not accountability; centralisation of true power not devolvement; hypocrisy not compliance.

From: B Murray, Grenoside Grange Close, Sheffield.
