The thing is, none of the resigning tories have suddenly woken up and grown a conscience, they just realised that the abhorrence of the party has reached its tipping point for the general public and are all getting out now while they still have a choice so they can claw back some pretence of ever having any morals.

Good grief... this stupid woman Truss is a danger to Britain and the whole world.
A failed Tory prime minister who only lasted a few disastrous weeks in office, but who managed to crash the British economy in that time, now suggests Trump should win?!
She shouldn't be allowed out into the community, never mind being given political power.

Former miner Dave Roper (aka Donkey Dave) recounted the heartbreaking experience of burying his child in a stranger's grave after being denied a funeral grant by the DHSS for being on strike. The article states that after growing pressure this policy was reversed in October 1984.
However, this is not the full story. The amendment which restored funeral support for strikers on one hand also tried to claw back mortgage relief with the other.
David Willetts, a member of Thatcher's Policy Unit, wrote "The DHSS anyway have to amend the regulations to allow them to meet funeral expenses of relations of strikers following the hard cases publicised in the press. It would be politically neat to bring out one amendment which both gave concessions for funeral expenses and tightened up the regime for mortgage payments."
David Willetts would go on to be Universities Minister in David Cameron's cabinet, and oversee the increase of tuition fees to £9,000 per year. He currently sits in the House of Lords.
This is why the Miners' Strike matters - the same people who made decisions during the strike are still in positions of power today, and they still haven't even acknowledged the violence that was done against mining communities in 1984.

12 days “work” … £115,000 per year for the rest of her life.
The system is absolutely broken.

A new consensus has emerged in British politics: peaceful protesters are dangerous, hateful extremists, but apologists for the mass slaughter of tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians are mainstream, respectable moderates. From his prime ministerial bully pulpit, Rishi Sunak declares there is a “growing consensus” that “mob rule is replacing democratic rule”. The world has been turned upside down, and you are entitled to ask why.
I'm not keen generally to give The Guardian clicks, as it's centrist central, but this is an excellent article by Owen Jones. Please read and share it, even if you're not in the UK - people need to know what this country is.

Hang on Rishi, you were perfectly happy to ask ordinary families up and down the country to pay an extra £1,570 more per year for gas and electricity to meet the demands of energy company bosses?

50% are people of colour
50% are women
50% are under 45
50% have a non upper class background
100% of them are ultra right wing bastards
Every single one of these candidates supported Priti Patel’s anti immigration laws.
They’re vocal in their transphobia, making it a main part of their platform.
A lot of them were part of BoJo’s cabinet, which oversaw hundreds of Britons having to choose between heating and food.
They attack those in poverty for relying on benefits but do nothing to stop the living crisis.
The Conservative Party’s leadership race is a brilliant example of how diversity quotas are meaningless if their politics are the all the same.
