Boris Johnson has brought Britain to its knees. He is a clown and he is turning this country into a circus.
Broken Britain was started to call out everything wrong with Johnson’s Britain. If you are pro-Europe and anti-corruption this page is for you!
Less than 2.5% of the country are members of the Conservative party; we are not living in a democracy whilst they hold us at ransom.

The Conservative leadership election has meant that for the third time in 6 years, Britain is held to ransom by Conservative party members
First time I've had the motivation to write in a while, but the news from earlier is terrifying.
Everyone should be up in arms about this. This will be catastrophic for households and could plunge us into recession.
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/energy-prices-will-sink-britain
Energy prices are set to rise by an unprecedented 78% in October; this is catastrophic for Britain, so why are the government doing nothing?
Rishi Sunak's measures won't even cover the October price rise for the majority of households. But the worst thing is that he has absolutely no plan to address the root cause.
He is asleep at the wheel as we careen towards a cliff edge.
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/what-does-rishi-sunaks-policy-u-turn-mean
Rishi Sunak announced a package of measures today to address the cost of living crisis; but how will these impact you?
Ofgem have a public consultation open on the issue Martin Lewis raged about earlier. Don't miss your chance to respond!
Feels like it was written by energy companies, for energy companies. A farcry from it's goal of "protecting vulnerable consumers"!
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/ofgem-has-failed-the-governments-asleep-and-we-are-paying-for-it
Ofgem's latest consultation is open and it is bad news for consumers. Don't miss out on the chance to make your voice heard!
Those continuing to back Johnson have no right to call for anyone else to resign. Their hypocrisy is dangerous and disingenuous.
Starmer is far from perfect, but the "evidence" against him seems to be little more than a political hit job.
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/beergate-is-nothing-more-than-a-political-hit-job
is heating up, yet those calling for Starmer to go remain steadfast in their support of Johnson, how can they be taken seriously?
Am I the only one who thinks that Grant Shapps is the one who has really broken election rules here?
Is there a single Government Minister that has an ounce of competence?
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/whats-the-story-behind-grant-shapps-elizabeth-line-meltdown
Grant Shapps accusations against Sadiq Khan are ridiculous and may have led to him breaking the same set of election rules!
I may be getting ahead of myself, but this is the first UK election I've actually looked forward to in a decade.
Polling is showing the Conservatives are set to lose a lot of seats, which could be the end of Johnson.
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/are-these-local-elections-the-most-important-in-history
Haven't written much in a while, but couldn't help it. This whole affair is ludicrous and is a damning indictment of how far British politics has fallen.
Anyone propagating this nonsense should be ashamed.
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/currygate-is-a-ridiculous-false-equivalence
Ahead of tomorrow's vote on whether or not the rules should apply to Johnson, I've collated a list of the MPs that have already called for him to go. By my count it's 14.
Have I missed any?
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/how-many-conservative-mps-have-called-for-johnson-to-go
Ahead of a crucial vote in the Commons, which Conservative MPs have called for Johnson to resign?
With Britain's economy in tatters, the damage of Brexit has never been clearer. With that in mind I've been thinking a lot about what rejoining the EU, or even the Single Market, looks like.
What do you think? Is there a path that I'm missing?
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/brexit-is-exposed-but-what-is-the-route-to-rejoin-europe
Polling is starting to show clear appetite for the UK to rejoin the EU, but what might that entail in reality? And what are the pitfalls?
I see Andrew Bridgen has taken a break from his legal woes to wade in on the CoE row, alongside other Tory MPs.
I've summarised their main arguments here. They're even madder than I expected.
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/the-latest-defence-of-the-rwanda-plan-is-disingenuous-nonsense
Yesterday the Government came under fire from the Archbishops of York and Canterbury for their sickening plan to
Between Tweets professing their Christian faith, Tory MPs are rounding on the Archbishops of York & Canterbury for criticising the Rwanda plan. And this isn't the first time the Tories have told their critics to keep out of politics.
My read is that they are as disgusted as we are when confronted with the hypocrisy of their own actions, but can't bring themselves to admit it.
Any other examples that I've missed?
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/why-do-conservatives-keep-telling-people-to-stay-out-of-politics
Why do Conservative MPs keep telling people to stay out of politics? This Easter they've ganged up on the Archbishops of York and Canterbury.
Without a doubt the most evil policy I've seen from a British government. This typifies the banality of evil.
But will it go ahead? I suspect that Johnson has more to gain from it being blocked in the courts.
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/rwanda-plan-cruel-stupid-and-pointless-or-just-a-distraction
Boris Johnson's Rwanda Plan is like something from the pages of Mein Kampf; but is he really planning to send refugees to Rwanda?
I've read the messages from all 77 Conservative MPs so you don't have to (trust me you don't want to!). I've summarised them into three themes.
The hand-wringers that infuriate me the most. How about you? Are there any I've missed?
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/conservative-mps-are-spamming-twitter-with-excuses-which-is-the-worst
Over the last 24 hours Conservative MPs have been spamming Twitter with ludicrous, cringeworthy and infuriating excuses. Which is the worst?
What do we think the chances are that Boris Johnson will do the right thing and step down? That he will hold himself to the same standard he has held his employees?
Personally, I think there's more chance of hell freezing over.
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/now-is-the-time-for-johnson-to-resign
Boris Johnson has been fine for breaking lockdown rules. Given he has forced others to resign, will he hold himself to the same standard?
Last week the started trending. The protest is tonight at 10pm, so ahead of time I thought I'd look into what sort of impact this might have.
Will you be taking part?
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/can-the-bigpoweroff-protest-make-a-difference
and have been trending on social media, but can they make a difference? Yes! But there's more than meets the eye
Been a little unwell recently but finally written my thoughts on Sunak. He is the one trying to make this about his wife.
It's not about her. It's about the the staggering conflict of interest and awful decisions that plunged this country into crisis.
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/rishi-sunak-has-made-this-about-his-wife-but-he-caused-this-mess
Rishi Sunak is the only one who is throwing his wife under the bus. He is the Chancellor. He made the decisions. It's time for him to go.
Selling Channel 4 is vindictive, petty and pointless.
It'll block up parliament at a time when they should be stopping people from starving to death.
Worse, it's only going to make £1b. That's 1/4 of what Sunak wrote off in fraud losses!
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/selling-off-channel-4-is-cultural-vandalism
Selling Channel 4 is one of the most idiotic, petty and unnecessary policy decisions in recent years; why am I surprised?
Thought I'd change pace a little and go back to the decrepit nature of our unwritten constitution.
Specifically, the Speaker of the House! What do you think about Sir Lindsay Hoyle? How does he measure up to Bercow?
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/is-sir-lindsay-hoyle-asleep-at-the-wheel
Sir Lindsay Hoyle has been criticised a lot recently for failing to hold Britain's biggest liar to account; what could he do differently?
Have been writing this one since reading about the Child Q case. The institutional issues within the police are deeply troubling.
Interested in your thoughts - do you think that they can restore public trust?
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/met-police-misconduct-is-killing-policing-by-consent
Met Police misconduct has been in all the headlines recently and it is destroying public trust in the police. Something needs to be done.
Rishi Sunak has a lot to answer for. His policy decisions, either through staggering incompetence or venal self-interest, are destroying the lives of the poorest in today's society.
Over on twitter is trying to organise a protest. Apparently, this had great effect in Spain. The idea is that everyone turns off all power at 10pm on 10th April for 10 minutes. This causes huge disruption for the energy companies. I'm very much up for giving it a go - what are you thoughts?
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/cost-of-living-uk-day-1-broken-and-its-sunaks-fault
Day 1 - Cost of Living UK: Friday's change in energy prices is already impacting the worse off; it's time the government took action
£50?! Is this an April Fools joke? They fined students ten grand!
I also find it highly amusing that those calling for Kay Burley to resign 2 years ago, are now calling her out for exposing law breaking. Apparently news presenters are held to higher standards than the PM.
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/partygate-one-rule-for-us-one-rule-for-them
is back in the news again, with a pathetic range of fines being handed out to government law breakers; is this a stitch up?
Have read some devastating stories today. The NHS is in dire straits, staff are being hit with costs at the worst possible time and patients are feeling abandoned.
The NHS could really use £350m a week right about now...
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/have-funding-cuts-left-the-nhs-on-life-support
NHS funding cuts have stripped the NHS to the bone over the last two decades; now our health service is on life support
It's a disgrace that Johnson has reacted to the police fining his colleagues by... throwing a party. It's the tactic of a troll.
He's trying to get back to the days when everyone thought he was a bit of a laugh. The man needs to grow up.
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/surely-its-now-clear-that-johnson-lied-over-partygate-johnsonout
Downing Street parties broke the law despite all of No 10's protests. Surely this is the smoking gun that Johnson lied to parliament?
My prediction on the fines! The cynic in me is expecting a stitch up. But there is a scenario where Johnson doesn't get fined this time round, calls for resignations and then gets fined at a future date. Interesting times!
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/prediction-johnson-will-get-off-scot-free-johnsonout
With the news that the Met are about to fine 20 partygoers, speculation is rife as to whether Johnson will get off scot-free
Utter disgrace that the police officers who strip searched Child Q have faced virtually no repercussions beyond being removed from "frontline duties".
It may be that an investigation is still in progress, but justice delayed is justice denied.
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/met-police-misconduct-everyone-involved-in-the-child-q-scandal-must-go
Met Police misconduct is systemic; it's time for decisive action, sacking the officers who strip searched Child Q would be a good start
If Brexit has been the catalyst for corruption, First Past the Post has been the enabler. On both sides of the Atlantic, this system has enabled corruption to infect critical institutions.
For years I defended FPTP as a way to keep out extremists. In practice, it has enabled them. What do you think? Is it time for it to go?
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/its-time-for-first-past-the-post-to-go
First Past the Post has polluted British politics. As Britain faces an increasingly authoritarian government, what are the alternatives?
The P&O Ferries situation is awful. It's also staggeringly stupid.
In a bid to "save money" they are now paying two workforces, unable to run any ferries, facing a PR nightmare and legal action. Callous and unnecessary.
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/have-po-ferries-scored-the-biggest-own-goal-in-history
P&O Ferries have suffered a conga line of humiliation. As the controversy heats up we ask, is this the biggest corporate own goal in history?
This mini-budget is pretty dire. Does very little to actually help.
Sunak calling this the "biggest ever tax cut" when the tax burden is at a 70 year high is, frankly, gas-lighting. It's devastating to think about the impact this is going to have.
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/2022-mini-budget-stop-the-slogans-and-do-something
Rishi Sunak announced a range of tax cuts in today's mini-budget, but what is the impact of this in the real world?
Nazanin is an inspiration. She deserves to be treated as a hero, not attacked. I don’t imagine I’d be half as strong after such an ordeal.
I find it absolutely staggering that anyone could attack a woman who has been held hostage for six years. Her calm, measured response has shown astonishing restraint.
The trolls are sickening. They deserve nothing but contempt.
https://brokenbritain.co.uk/why-are-trolls-going-after-nazanin-zaghari-ratcliffe
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has found herself under fire from internet trolls today for calling out the government's lack of action
