The Conservative Party

"The economic liberals' march through the Conservative party will continue; every day there is less and less opposition, and they will eventually win. But the cost, over time, will be two lost traditions: a recognisable conservatism and a recognisable social liberalism."

Jon Cruddas MP - ten years ago...

Ahhh ..... I get it now. Under the rules she has to stay in place another month so she gets the EX-PMs pension of £115,000 a year for the rest of her days.

That's something they should fucking scrap straight away. Many have served their country (giving public service) much more than these fuckers ever had or will and they don't see anything like this.

Most top politicians are hardly living hand to mouth

I wonder how thaw Brexiteers who called him a 'traitor' genuinely feel about him now.

Mostly, people don't change their opinion because they've been proved wrong. They curl their lip, make mental gymnastics and use a "yebbut" so they can avoid reality. Yebbut it would have been great if it wasn't for Remainer snowflakes, Yebbut COVID, Yebbut Corbyn etc.

As an alternative to Tory austerity, what do folk feel about this manifesto:

  • regain European citizenship and the right to study, work and live across the European Union
  • have lower energy prices and security of supply by increasing and diversifying our electricity generating capacity, making better, greener use of abundant natural energy resources
  • have a better, fairer working life, including improved access to flexible working, greater job security through strengthened workplace rights and, if you are a young person, the same minimum wage as everybody else
  • escape an economic model that concentrates wealth in a small proportion of the country while producing inequality, low investment, and low productivity
  • retain free movement
  • benefit directly from investments from the New Investment Fund, with an investment of up to £20 billion in major infrastructure, including investment in more energy-efficient homes, greener transport, better digital and mobile connectivity, and more affordable housing
  • take part in new ways for communities to own and steer the economy, including through direct stakes in local developments
  • live in a country where decisions about how we use our assets, talents and resources reflect our values and democratic choices, allowing us to develop the kind of inclusive consensus-driven economic policies that serve other European countries so well
