The Conservative Party

Dorries on Newsnight:
when she was Culture Secretary, the cabinet did not discuss the Jay inquiry report.
It's not the govt fault that nothing is done after inquiries, it's that the reports are written by civil servants and their proposals are unworkable.

first point - rather holes the demands for action from other former cabinet members.
second point - damn those civil servants. As if none of them could have been put into action, or at least explained why they didn't do anything.

The excuses after a BBC man gives an opinion are a bit desperate.

And desperate.

she wasted at least half her questions there pursuing culture wars - with the open goal that is Tulip Saddiq just sat across from her she will regret today because when the new enquiry campaign fails (as it will) if she moves onto Saddiq she just leaves herself wide open to the same line "why have you showed no interest in this until now" again.

Lovely way of back handedly attacking Muslims in the question. Race and religious connotations weren't touched by anyone by anyone discussing this sensitive subject until that moment.

Culture wars is a made up phrase progressives use in order to not talk about a whole bunch of unrelated, disparate stuff, that they've already declared as absolute, irrevocable, done, dusted, and cast in stone in their image. They've co-opted everyday words to mean whatever they say they mean and where that's not possible they've created a whole new subset of words and phrases to articulate their dogma.

You think culture wars is a made up right wing thing?

Post something where you question multiculturalism, or gender ideology, or intersectionality, or DEI and look who fires the shots, it won't be from the right.

Compliance isn't just an authoritarian right wing tool, for the most part the right don't give a fuck what you think, as long as it doesn't threaten what they really want, power.

But the left do care what you think, I know it's a cliche, but 1984 wasn't a critique of the right.

Massive own goal by the conservatives. Just highlights how inept they were when in power. Jumping on the racist card. Lowest of the low.

They're shit scared of being outflanked by Reform.

Reform is free to come out with bat shit crazy coz they're never going to form a government, so nothing they say is encumbered by trifles like feasibility, or legality, or anything anchored in facts, and the MSM, for the most part, give them a free pass.

I should feel some sympathy for Badenoch, but obviously I don't.
 
Someone really needs to show today's over and over to her and show what happened when Davey/Flynn asked sensible questions which were constructive.

I can only assume that Badenoch's totally surrounded by "you must be strong and get headlines" promoters, and no-one has suggested maybe having constructive ideas is a good idea rather than insults/gotchas. Starmer did pretty well in opposition against Sunak and Johnson because he looked sane by comparison. She isn't good enough to beat Starmer so instead she should try for stateswoman-like.

I didn't pick up who had the last question (why didn't Starmer as DPP do anything about Fayed) - another apparently uninformed question, as Starmer just said "it never crossed my desk" and sat down.

It's racist yes, without doubt, but that's not why Badenoch and the Tories pursue it. The right wing, aided and abetted by their client media, want to cast Labour as a champion of minorities over the majority, they're peddling the idea that Labour have gone soft on the gangs because of their ethnicity, their minority status, because Labour's patchwork quilt of support, they say, is heavily dependant on ethnic minorities and so consequently they give them cover. Put bluntly they're implying that Labour is willing to sacrifice white girls in order to keep their Asian vote sweet.

They want Labour to be perceived as an enemy of the "people", it's dog whistle politics, what they mean by the "people" is the majority, white people, "the" British people, "real" British people, the indigenous population, Tommy's white working class and the white middle class GB News viewers in the cosy suburbs.

That's the constituency they're after.
 
I get it, but think the majority of the people in this country are not little Alf Garnetts, who support a racist, fascist agenda. People can see what they are up to and don't like it.
