The Conservative Party

And worse than Italy, Japan, Canada, the US and the Eurozone as a whole. So we’re no longer bottom of the G7. Seeing as Germany have been absolutely hammered by the Ukraine war due to their dependency on Russian gas, it’s no surprise they’re not doing too well at the moment. Hopefully we’ll maintain this growth but most predictions (including OECD and IMF) have us at or near the bottom of the table for 2024 and 2025.

Either way it’s not going to save the Tories who are resorting to getting involved in populist nonsense interfering with perceived unpopular local government policies and ditching anything perceived as “woke” like initiatives related to addressing climate change.

At the end of the day not enough people are going to forgive them for partying during Covid, all the corruption, the NHS crisis and the mishandling of immigration/asylum, even if they mange to salvage the economy and throw a few tax cuts at those that need them least.

Vaccines.

I know what you mean about Labour but this current campaign feels a lot more Blair than Miliband.

Alastair Campbell summed it up well when he said it’s like Starmer has a precious trophy already in his hands but just needs to carry it across a slippy street without falling on his own arse.

Ming vase on an ice rink wasn’t it?

Quick question…..i don’t follow politics and was wondering - on the Radio it said that the Conservative Party Conference will bring on £20m to Manchester. My question is how?

As far as i’m aware, there’s not 60,000 - 70,000 Conservative supporters that follow them everywhere and buy up all hotel rooms is there?

Plus won’t the Manchester Central room hire, hotels, food, drink and all the police security be at the tax payers cost?

I may be wrong but how are a few toff’s from London pumping £20,000,000 into the Manchester exonomy over a few days?

Rishi’s going to drop his wallet in Piccadilly Gardens.

I know its Farage but I suspect this is correct - its just going to be a week of factional in-fighting that Sunak will wish is over by Tuesday lunchtime

Cruddas is of course firmly in Johnson's camp, and therefore happy to knife Sunak.

What’s the collective term for cretins?
A Conservative of Cretins?
A Tory of Cretins?

Asking for a friend.

A Jenrick of cretins.
