    Your goodness and morals are only as good as the actions you take to support them - and he took, overwhelmingly, actions that were morally negative. He threw transgender folk under the bus, got the nickname “kid starver” for a reason, and under his leadership we saw the UK fall from 53% to 43% on the rainbowmap for LGBTQ+ rights - in a period where the rest of western Europe were overwhelmingly rising in terms of LGBTQ+ rights, putting us closer to the worst European offender Russia, with 2%, than we are to any of the 5 best European countries, 5th place being Denmark with 85%.

    I can’t say whether he has goodness inside him, or if he has staunchly “good” morals. But he certainly hasn’t given me reason to believe either of those things.

    No hate to you, by the way, just felt another take was warranted.
