The Conservative Party

[bluethrunthru]

Factionalism in action - nobody there - they are all off listening to some far right loon opine about immigrants and the workshy poor in a side room somewhere

Not usually one for violence, but if the IRA decided to reform and bomb that particular part of the conference, the world would be a better place

Less of that, I think.
Whatever about your sentiment, that’s not a well thought out post.

welcome to the Tory Police state Britain. GMP this is not a good look - new laws make it an authoritarian state

 

[TinFoilHat]

Fascist bastards.

What’s the point of a protest if you can’t do it to those you need to protest to?

And, why is he amending the law to state that he has to move, how can a policeman just amend the law?

 

[bluethrunthru]

underdogs? Wow - they won the last GE with an 80 seat majority and they have burned 20% of that but still have a 60 seat majority so to see themselves as underdogs shows they have priced in defeat now

What an absolute wanker.

Maybe they thought the Bluemoon bomber was on board

This is really quite concerning.
They start with the quiet ‘reasonable’ tones but you wonder just how far under the surface there is an arrest and handcuffs for protesting.

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.
