Current Affairs The Conservative Party

Won't someone please think of poor frank hester...

It's been a very bad day for Reform, though.

I'm not actually sure, one way or the other. Whilst it points to the Tories moving in the direction trying to chase the Reform vote share down, ultimately Farage has got the luxury of not needing to promise anything he'll be called on to deliver. The Tories could promise national service for 18 year olds, and Farage will insist everyone under 40 will need to do it. The Tories could promise a Brexit-powered burning of all EU regulation, and Farage will promise compulsory burning of any French flag on British soil. The Tories can promise to restore the WFA, and Farage will promise a solid gold house and rocket car to go along with it.

The point is that Farage can just keep tacking further right and pulling a Jenrick/Badenoch-led party with him, and if by some weird chance Labour implode and they do regain power and then fail to enact all the mad stuff they've promised, then that just plays into his hands even further.

This isn't a prediction and I might well be way off the mark, but every Tory project chasing Farage so far has failed miserably.

The people who voted for them last time are disgruntled Tory voters sick of the last Tory parliament. With Red Tory in they'll be back to vote for Blue Tory again, especially one talking tough on immigration, unions, the ECHR etc.

If Jenrick told me the time I'd check with the speaking clock.

I’m afraid they would have been privatised. Jenrick’s solution would be to borrow your watch, tell you it was 1957, charge you £10 and punch the nearest homeless person.

Hahahaha the Tories can't even manage to rig their own leadership election. What a bunch of cretins.

Badenoch or Jenrick. 'Kinell. Labour must be popping the corks this evening.

I think it's obvious which one he will choose isn't it?

Let's let the great man speak for himself, both bastions of toryism true, there are no right or wrong answers, just decisions and then those that end up punished by them...

Shapps names mixed up. Tories never change.

Not much of a choice tbh, but if I had to vote I’d probably go with Badenoch…..

I'd pick being hung drawn and quartered whilst being force fed barely cooked worn shoes and my last moments being accompanied by the back street boys greatest hits.

They are the future of your tory party pete, arch enablers and supporters of your messiah boris, gonna be a right old laugh when farage and his minions go through em like explosive diarrhea.

Kemi might prove a hit with her charm and vivaciousness!
I'm still chortling at the riots a black woman leader would have caused in the Carlton Club back in the day.
