Current Affairs The Conservative Party

[Thomasc]

You were doing well till your last sentence.

Cleverly looks the only sane candidate to me.

Cleverley?

oh my days.

I’m convinced you should be an ironic stand up comedian.

 

[davek]

Pathetic.

Eh?

Not as bad as hiding in a fridge, but not far off.

Yes just 'well' until then, but that's when I kicked it into overdrive and hit a home run.

We should make Starmer's birthday a public holiday for the service he's done the nation in getting rid of this lot, and his continued good governance. Also managed to dump some toxic effluence out of the PLP whilst he's at it.

Anyway now we're all agreed on what a top tier job he's doing, perhaps we can get back to the topic of Tories and their search through the rubble of their electoral battering for a new leader.

The more you write the more guilty you come across.

The Official Tories and Red Tory are sister parties. They both fear Reform more than they do each other, for sure.

When a left wing party fills the vacuum left by The Starmer Gang they'll have something else to worry about.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Official Tory and Red Tory merge in order to see off what they'd describe as populist parties.

He reminds me of Starmer a bit in that he has a veneer of respectability. But he's probably less corrupt than Starmer.

If the Tories are serious about putting the past behind them, they might want to start by not appointing anybody who served in the disgraceful Johnson cabinet.

Sir Kier to you.

Oh and I don’t take your opinion seriously due to your backing of embarrassing “human cat man” George Galloway.

Let's keep this about the Blue Tories; the Red Tories have their own thread.

Why isn't this vacuum already filled by any of the existing multitude of left wing parties?

Some refuse to enter the electoral process such as the SWP; others are - after being expelled by Red Tory - there to be won to a new party. The alliance in parliament between anti-Islamophobia MPs and suspended socialist MPs could be that vehicle.

Well if you're really lucky then they'll siphon enough votes off Labour to let the Tories in again immediately, or a Tory/Reform coalition with Farage nabbing himself a senior ministerial spot, and you can go back to your favourite political pastime, whinging that the Left is never allowed a hand on the levers of power.

Badenoch seems to be cut from the same cruel, nasty cloth as priti Patel, lizz truss and Braverman

What is going on?

Earning one's place at the top table. Gotta buy in, that means grubbing up to those already there. You know, the truss backers.

 

[Xizor]

Patel, lizz truss and Braverman...

... Thatcher?
