Conservatives need a 'fresh leader' and to go 'back to basics', says Lord Houchen

The Conservative party needs to regain voters' trust with a "fresh leader" and go "back to basics", the Tees Valley mayor Lord Houchen has told Sky News.
Speaking to Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips, he said the election result showed the party had "let a lot of people down" and it needed to "regain trust" with the public.
Lord Houchen said people want a party that isn't going to "fight like cats in a sack" but unite together with someone leading who cares about public service and has "clear ideas".

Tories are finished they'll not get back for 20 years at least. Boris Johnson David Cameron the bullingdon boys have finished it good and proper. Both caused the Hugh mess they made of everything.

Fresh leader is not the answer. Serving the public and carrying out their wishes is whats needed instead of them being enemies of us, making us poor, being dictators, being self serving, corrupt and idiot.

The wisest thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on the govt. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in Gold, Silver and digital currencies (BTC,ETH...)
