The Conservative Party

"As part of the investment in local public infrastructure. We're proud to announce funding to create a Nottingham tram service to Clifton..."

This service started running in 2016.

They are taking the piss.
If they'd really decided only yesterday to cancel HS2 you could understand how this sort of nonsense. But as Sunak was lying about when they decided, you'd have thought they might have made a better fist of it. Every local paper is going to be taking the piss.
 
The majority of any money they spend will be at the London end again - either Euston will swallow it all up or if they go to Old Oak Common there will need to be a lot of upgrading of roads and infrastructure to make that work......hence announcing they are going to do something which has already been done in t'North
 
Just called into say that as well as being completely unhinged Penny Mordaunt looks like absolute shit for a 50 year old. Especially compared to what she looked like last year.

There are chain smoking 50yr old grannies on council estates that look in better shape than that.

What is it about conservativism that turns middle age women into bags of rotting shit?

She looks fine for 50. Spewing a lot of misogynistic hate there.
 
UKIP in anything other than name.

Lies and distraction, that all it was from the Farage Party Conference.
Farage is happy. He's got his party in power. There he was, dad dancing with Cruella, and every line of bullshit he peddled to achieve it was seen as an existential threat to the tory party by Cameron.

Own goals don't come much bigger than that, and what a price we are paying for it.

They are headed for a schism after the election. Farage will be welcomed in out of desperation when they’ve lost 75% of their seats and he’ll win the leadership election against the assortment of nutters and nobodies lining up to replace Sunak.

Old fashioned One nation tories will not be in a party lead by Nigel Farage and Priti Patel, so either they’ll split off or resign.
 
Seismic is trending !
Incredible win for Labour in Scotland last night . The Tories lose their deposit !

The writing is in the wall it’s just a matter of when not if now !

Steady on. They won a seat they last won way back...... in 2017... on a 37% turnout against 2 parties that are imploding.

Sure it's a pointer to what will happen down the line but 'seismic' and 'incredible' ?

To be fair, I think a party winning a seat against the background of its two main rivals strapping explosives to their chest, shouting charge and then pressing the button is a bit more than ‘a pointer to what will happen’.
 
My working assumption on Mordant's whole look and tone was that it was an attempt to mimic Thatcher.

Depending on your definition of competence she was the last effective Conservative leader and the base look back at her dewy eyed. It's hardly surprising she'd try to tap into that but it did come off as weird and unnatural.

even more so when Mordaunt said Labour wanted to take the country back to the horrors of the 80's - a decade of which every single day we had a Conservative Govt which was run by the Iron Lady she was aping - you do wonder who advises them and what research (if any ) they actually do
