The Conservative Party

after Badenoch yesterday we have this little gem

Don't leave us hanging. Was the small business in the Black Country toolmaking?

Edit: his own website says it was "their own business fitting fireplaces around their kitchen table". Now I'm amazed that someone educated at a fee-paying grammar school should be so grammatically inept as to write something that might suggest they installed fireplaces all round their kitchen table. Be that as it may, they obviously did better than my dad who set up a business on All Saints fitting tiled fireplaces (in homes) just as people were ripping them out to install smokeless fuel fires.

Tories too busy on the Labour thread to comment?

Reminds me of the Forde report/ Labour files days when all the Labour diehards were too busy in the Tory thread ;-)

Clearly nothing to see here.

I think the Tories might regret making political donations an issue, because it's an area where they're never likely to come out smelling of roses.

Baroness Warsi has resigned stating the party has swung to far too the right she was one of the only decent Conservatives
What’s the real reason is it they refuse to drop the Rwanda deal it is the Israel/Gaza policy.

Jenrick celebrates English identity but isn't sure what it is.

For some reason it's hard to compare with the rest of Europe.

Is this not also because European countries offered relief on VAT for energy during the peak of the energy crisis?

France has a reduced rate of 5.5% on energy. Germany has just increased VAT from 7% to 19% for energy this year.

Meanwhile the UK has done nothing and 20% of your energy bill has always gone to the taxman.
