Tory scum is a phrase used to describe members of the United Kingdom's Conservative Party ("Tory" is a colloquial name for the Conservatives) by its opponents. Journalist Michael White called the phrase a regularly used "ancient British roar"; David Graeber, a "familiar slogan"; and Fintan O'Toole joked that in some parts of England the phrase was thought to be the actual name of the Conservative Party.
