Today's Good Morning Britain features a real Tory and an aspiring Tory:
"Tory Lord Ed Vaizey: "I like Wes Streeting, I think hes a good politician"
Wes Streeting: "Ed, stop. Honestly this is my problem. I don't need any more Tories saying what a nice guy I am. You have no idea what problems it causes me on the left"
Ooooooo, stop it,Ed, people will forget I'm in the Labour party!
🙄😡

Also from the above book, this quote simplifies a lot of annoyances and frustrations:

"Both the #smarm-meister and the bullshitter have a goal in mind that ignores the issue at hand--the smarm-meister pretends to take offense at the tone or #incivility of his accuser, while the bullshitter just waves his hand and spews words indiscriminately to achieve the effect he's after. (...) Frankfurt puts it this way, "The essence of #bullshit is not that it is false, but that it is phony." "
