The Conservative Party

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

What party do you think this guy represents - based on the branding?

Is he some of Cameron's Green Crap?

I was trying to work out why his sign appears to Worcester on it, when he's in Sutton.

His transformation has been Portillo-esque - thing is you wouldn't have to work too hard to appear to be the moderate sensible one with that cabinet as your backdrop. The main attraction he would have for Tories is in the 1000 days of Johnsons reign he hasn't been in the cabinet so none of his DNA is on any of the madness.

For the benefit of our younger readers, Portillo is a former Tory MP, hypocrite and all round nasty bastard who, despite admitting to having had gay sex before entering politics, repeatedly claimed not to be gay and voted for Clause 28 (Google it) before reinventing himself as that nice man off the telly with no dress sense while living off a seemingly limitless BBC expense account to indulge his interest in the railways.

Stupid & friendless.

Ha. I have a friend who works at Westminster and he mentioned to me a while back that many in the Labour ranks are hoping for Truss on the basis that the the public will be quite taken aback at just how stupid she actually is and she'd stand no chance in an election.

Couldn't agree more Kaz. This duplicitous bastard has been repositioning himself as the moderate alternative to Johnson for some time now with an eye to the leadership. Some of us have sufficiently long memories to recall his attempt at dismantling the traditional 'free at the point of service' NHS model in favour of private contractors and the inevitable creep towards privatisation. Frankly though, looking at the shower of shite making up the current administration, there's no obvious replacement! Ultimately, Aneurin Bevan was right in 1948 when he described the Tories as vermin and he's still right.

He was also the man who commissioned a report on pandemic planning. When it turned out it would cost over 20 million to implement he scrapped it.

I'm still holding out hope they go for Mark le Francois.

Penfold for PM!

Something else may appear about Portilllo after his passing.

 

[yerwot?]

hunt trying to hide behind a tree after a non-disclosed meeting with murdoch has tarnished himself for all time. No-one meets murdoch without evil intent. A more than willing puppet, groomed and backed, opponents picked off to pave the way, it's a nightmare for the public unfolding in plain sight...

Lower than vermin.

The Tories said that meant he included everyone who voted Tory. Just the sort of verminous twisting you'd expect.
