The Conservative Party

[Mr Kobayashi]

His tax plans would have prevented the markets from crashing like he clearly laid out against Truss in the debates

Not saying he would have been the saviour but to think Boris would be better is just laughable, he’s already been kicked out for being a lying sleaze bag and he’s still under investigation for breaking the law - how anyone can consider him a better choice than Sunak is mind boggling

****'s Advocaat?

He won't say anything until he has his 100 backers. If he can't get them he will say he never intended to stand.

Don't think Penny Mourdant will get to 100.

Presumably much of the planning is based on the effect of the belief that an opponent has 100.

Assume Sunak has 150. That leaves 225.

Johnson's camp "yeah, we have over 100 now"
Mordaunt's camp "oh, dear that doesn't leave much space to get 100, and to beat Johnson. Maybe my support will want to support one of the others..."

So the leaked claims and silence can destabilise the bloc behind a rival.

And I still believe there are enough decent tories who realise the game’s up and can’t carry on with this satire of a parody of a travesty of a farce of a pantomime.

I really wish people would stop looking for "decent Tories".

I really wish people would stop looking for "decent Tories".

I know - I do apologise for the oxymoron.
I have an incurable belief in the fundamental goodness of my fellow humans.

Why? I'm still looking for a shit that doesn't stink after all.

Voting looks like their highest priority is trying to win the next GE rather than the immediate issues most of us face.

I guess this is what happens when the well off run the Country.

Most of those Tory twats should hang their heads in shame.

It’s an absolute disgrace the amount of time these cunts get off. Their summer recess is a fucking joke. Why can’t they have five weeks a year (or less) like the rest of us. Think I’ve taken a fortnight off this year.

Aren't they supposed to be doing constituency work during the summer recess, so they're out of Westminster but still representing the electorate? - Not Johnson obviously as his holidays come first.
But with the looming energy crisis, cost of living crisis and no Prime Minister, surely the summer recess should have been postponed until the clear decisions had been made (and announced) about how each problem was to be resolved.

 

[East Level 2]

In what way?

Will I be able to have more than £50 a month to spend?

I live in flat in the Midlands which half my current wage pays every month. Energy bills are going up through the roof. Despite living in a one bedroomed flat I'm being charged band C on my property because the average in my block is 3 bedrooms.
I'm striking and losing money because they want to take more of me.

What benefits will a Tory government give me?

You won't have to live under the yoke of communism. It was in the Mail, Sun and Express so it must be true.

Do you honestly believe that, mate? I have known a north west Tory MP for over 25 years, and he goes to Anglesey for most of the summer recess.

I don't believe they do it, I believe they are supposed to do it.

 

[MCFC1993]

Tory MP's think we're all idiots.

 

[BobKowalski]

No idea why Sunak had a meeting with Johnson, it implies they have support on a par with each other when they do not. You want to explore options, you do it by back channels via supporters.

Does seem neither will work with the other and there are enough embittered supporters of both to torpedo the next reiteration of the Tory Govt, no matter who wins.

Even some of the headbangers and the Telegraph now realise Johnson is toxic and that Sunak is the only glimmer of hope. It’s only a glimmer though. The poison is too far gone. The Tory party has ceased to function as a governing party. An election and a fresh start is the only viable option.

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

Representative of the Tory party membership is that view point and why we ended up with a month or so of Truss. He rightly so outlined that her plan for unfunded tax cuts would be a disaster.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

My **** of an MP. Fucking ****.

 

[hilts]

And many of us are disenfranchised by the undemocratic FPTP system and have no recourse and no proper representation.

So am I fella which is why I refuse to vote Tory or Labour but I'm in the minority. Plenty who don't like the current system still vote for those parties. That's what I meant by they only have the power because we give it to them.

By we I meant the whole electorate. I probably worded it badly.

 

[hilts]

Both at the same time for me.
