The Conservative Party

[MillionMilesAway]

In a development that i'm sure will help, Mad Nad is back with another book about the Conservatives and is immediately banging on about the deep party wonks who got rid of Johnson and put Sunak in, and re-raising comments that slate Badenoch.

I wonder who she wants to be in charge - Jenrick until Johnson can be reinstalled?!

I would like some context here because it seems the Tory fightback today is all about highlighting their failures - not sure thats a winnging strategy

That could confuse some Toryboys on here.

Probably but its going to a debate - you just know the Govt will have done and do their homework on how many bots signed, where they were from, how other bigger petitions were ignored by the Tory Govt etc etc etc - a tiny bit of work and they can make it a punishment beating

If there has to be a Parliament debate every time a petition reaches over 100k what’s to stop a new petition going up and calling for Starmer to go every couple of weeks ?

Nothing but if the Govt play their cards right they can make it a mockery instantly

That's not a thing any more, and hasn't been for a while. Anything over 100k will 'be considered for debate.' They will also inform you if your petition is too similar to an existing one.

The aircraft carriers were the brain child of the last Labour government, starting with the defence review in 1997 and finally signing the contracts in 2008.

Amazingly, it seems you’re completely wrong about this. What a shocker!

Are they these ones?

Think they are going to have to bin them because they reckon Russia is interfering in these and it takes fuck all effort to lazily click on them

It's a debate in Westminster Hall rather than the Commons - it's a fairly minor thing.

It's been noted that Badenoch demanding resignation based on a dubiously run petition seems to have gone a bit early - 3 weeks and she's already gone to the top level.

Someone should do a petition to remove Bedenoch

The Petitions Committee refuses a debate as it has already been debated recently.

Or the House of Commons changes the rules to exclude petitions calling for a general election.

6 million signed the petition calling for the government to cancel Brexit (and that was real people signing).

I do wonder if the likes of Jenrick are just watching her and waiting for the crash.
Then she's done and out of the way.

To be replaced by who? The bottom of the barrel has already been scraped.

Well, as it's Jenrick watching, I would guess Jenrick wants it.

I agree that it's not something that can easily be solved. The MP pool is so small - 40 of which are brand new, 10 or so not interested (Sunak, Hunt, etc), 10+ too old, 1 is Mark Francois, etc - that finding a new look/approach is very difficult.

I think that was yesterday's pitch - we got it wrong, we're now New Tory, nothing to do with what we said 6 months ago - while also trying to elbow into Reform territory on immigration.
