Gove Sorts it Out

Vague threats to implement a manifesto promise to end no-fault evictions have brought squeals of horror from that substantial portion of the Conservative Party which consists of landlords; though naturally every objection was made in a spirit of pure and disinterested altruism. The villainously-monickered Desmond Swayne worried about his ability to kick out antisocial tenants, while the intellectually piscatoid Marcus Fysh predicted the end of the private housing market and an apocalyptic rise in inflation when miffed landlords sold up and moved out. Fortunately, the jabbering homunculus Michael Gove was on hand to reassure: there would have to be changes to the court system in order for the changes to work, and even the likes of Swayne and Fysh are capable of recalling that the court system has already been pre-emptively wrecked. Nevertheless, the more intelligent among those private renters who helped the National Johnson to his landslide may soon be feeling betrayed yet again by the Conservative Party's chronic disinclination to follow its man-of-the-people instincts.
