Sir Rod Stewart is not the only lifelong Conservative to turn against the party.
Polls show the Tories are haemorrhaging support from those of all ages and backgrounds.
Like Sir Rod, they despair at how 13 years of rule have turned a once prosperous land with excellent public services into a broken state.
High on the list of this government’s failures is the damage caused to the NHS.
When Labour left in 2010 public satisfaction with the service was at a record high.
The only records achieved by the Tories are the highest waiting list in history and the slowest ambulance response times.
It is hardly a surprise that nearly 150,000 NHS staff members, one in 10 of the workforce, left their jobs in the year to September.
They know better than anyone else what it is like to work for a health service that cannot provide the care patients need and deserve.
Johnson’s luck
Since leaving No10 Boris Johnson has earned more than £1million from speeches, lived in a Tory donor’s house at reduced rent and received £1million towards his private office’s running costs.
This is on top of his MPs’ salary of £84,144. Despite his riches the Government is spending more than £200,000 to cover his legal fees for the Commons Partygate inquiry.
Taxpayers in the cost of living crisis are footing the bill for Johnson’s cost of lying crisis.
Not everyone is as fortunate as the former PM. If you are a victim of domestic abuse or an unfair eviction you have to earn under £31,884 a year to qualify for legal aid.
As a result tens of thousands of people are being denied the justice they deserve.
The Tories are once again looking after their own while ignoring the plight of real victims.
Latest Su-turn
Home Secretary Suella Braverman has ditched a string of pledges made in the wake of the Windrush scandal.
Tories betrayed the Windrush generation once and now they have betrayed them again.
