I'm sure there are some stormtroopers who would fit their bill.

If the Tamworth by-election is anything to go by, the level of candidate they can field is a real issue for them.

Braverbitch doing the usual hate laden call to arms shit. Her hatred is really in tents.

That candidate’s partner seemed like a perfect fit to be a Tory candidate somewhere else.

Sums this Government up

In 12 months she’ll be spouting this shit from her column in the Sun rather than from the dispatch box. I really wouldn’t worry.

Unless they make her leader when Sunak buggers off to California.

And I’m here for that. There not enough popcorn in the world.

She has to retain her seat first.

The thing that gets me a quick look at the polls for the last 12 months shows the culture wars are doing nothing for them - immigration is doing nothing for them - yet for some reason they think thats the route to electoral success

Cruella calling them ‘hate marches’ does nothing to calm tensions when all the marches so far have been peaceful.

She has absolutely no intention of calming tensions. Hateful **** that she is.

She's banking on violence come remembrance Day.

There will be a few pissed up and grieving sqauddies enabled by the Met who may grant her her wish.

This should be bigger news but i guess the wheels that turn are being stopped by someone

EXCLUSIVE: Jake Berry (pictured) sent a bombshell letter to police in which he revealed that a number of allegations about the MP had been made known - but limited action had been taken.

I do hope the RW of this party are wiped off the map and those centrist that have been muted have a chance to bring the party back. Not sure how many are left but there were/are some good Tories out there.

It’s absolutely disgraceful how the party has acted and all involved should be hauled in front of a court, not just parliamentary procedure.

I would argue that the people who have undermined Parliament and the UK constitution are corrupt Tories and Brexiters, bending or breaking conventions and in some cases breaking the law. People like Johnson brought the political set-up of Britain into total disrepute, aided by the corrupt and outdated FPTP voting system which gives excessive power to minorities.

I strongly expect very much behind it is the fact that MP's and councillors are leaving for many reasons but mostly ill health and not wanting to end a political career on a defeat.

New recruits to replace them is tough for similar reasons. They can see polls so many won't want to start a career with a defeat ( something Churchill and Thatcher whom they would claim to be their heroes did ) plus being in a minority opposition they would wield no power so certain - shall we say - ahem "opportunities" will not be open to them to enhance earning potential. Just a further knock-on stemming from the ruinous Johnson corrupt period in office

At this point, I'm not sure if they will even be the official party of opposition, I can see the Covid Enquiry and the increase in interest rates resulting in the number of self-servatives returned being down into double figures and a significant amount of Lib-Dems getting elected through a combination of tactical voting and disenfranchised torys being unwilling to switch to Labour.
The pain of rising interest rates is nowhere near having its full impact, and many will be coming out of their fixed rate mortgages in the next year, and the private rental sector will be increasing their rates due to increased demand and higher returns available from other sources of investment
