The Conservative Party

[M18CTID]

Because i am a staunch conservative and feel they are the best party for the country.

I take it you've been living on a different planet to the rest of us for the past 14 years. I can see you're a staunch Conservative though. So staunch that I bet if Pol Pot was in charge of the Tories you'd still vote for them!

 

[M18CTID]

I agree but unless he does something really bad I'm not sure how they can do it. Starmer is as close to being a Tory wet as you can get unless he's lying. I would say it's also highly unlikely Labour could out scandal the Tories. They would also need Reform to dissappear.

Unless Starmer and Labour do something really stupid then I agree in the short-term but politics, like football, is cyclical. 2 terms of Labour, coupled with a Tory reset to the centre-right and they'll have a decent chance IMO. Pandering to the far-right will never get them anywhere though because, thankfully, there aren't enough swivel-eyed loons in the country to win an election.

Starmer has pinched the centre right so unless he has been telling huge porkies I don't know what direction they can head totoward.

Very true. People said the same of Cameron. His centrist stance sent Labour searching for clear space on the left. Didn't really work though.

Let's see how the tories react. Its difficult to see how any can stand to be leader wile suggesting Farage should be embraced. Let's not forget 1 of the 5 Reform MPs was very recently kicked out of the tories for making racist remarks and he has only ever doubled down since.

3 complete and utter self serving cunts.

Our country is the last thing these 3 think. Self first, second and third.

2 of thoes 3 are very popular in the kremlin. What are the odds?

He’s a landlord, so chances are he has been living on a different planet. One where his lifestyle is funded by people significantly poorer than him.

Everyone can buy a house, no 1 makes people rent

I worked bloody hard to get my 1st home , then harder to get a 2nd home so I could rent my 1st home out , as I only get basic pension payments

So making out landlords are just low life’s is bang out of order or should people like me be poor when a OAP

No. Not everyone has the means, which is why so many people rent and why the percentage of home owners in the population has gone down. So yes you do force people to rent in your collective action of scalping additional houses.

Living at home indefinitely, a caravan or camper or cardboard box aren't realistic alternatives.

Landlords drive up the price of housing and the price of rents. It's not rocket science. No one forced you to be a landlord, there are other investment opportunities.

I'm guessing you only own one additional property rather than double figures that Worsley does.

Yes I only own 1 , but I could probably remortgage and buy more , I charge lower market rent , I do invest in other ways 2 but I wouldn’t be able to afford to retire if I didn’t have a house

I worked 7 days a week to get both my homes

They have shut their Twitter account

First truth a Tory has uttered in years

I agree with the "conservatives, something went wrong"
But I reject the notion they "try again"
EVER.

Whoever ran the account obviously lost their seat and handed the password to Francois, with inevitable results.

I think Cameron has something to offer, if he puts his mind to it.
I will be surprised if Labour don't consult him for at least the first year, as he's been the Foreign Secretary.

I am equally intrigued to see how many times he shows up for anything else.

the only thing Cameron has to offer is a massive sense of self entitlement and a lack of empathy, so hopefully nobody consults him on anything

you are mental
not everyone can buy a house
in fact now that average house prices are 6 times the average wage (compared to 3 times in the 1990's) less than half the population can afford to buy a house.

So you are one of the better landlords and one who doesn't take the piss.

My daughter has a good job and a deposit ... she currently pays more in rent a month than a mortgage would cost ... but cant get a mortgage offer because she's a single parent

Mercer loved to tell everyone what a great veterans Minister he was.

On Friday him and his free loading Mrs lost their jobs.

On Monday Labour did this.

MoD to compensate thousands of veterans over hearing loss

The government has now agreed that up to 10,000 people discharged after 1987 could be eligible for compensation.

I was looking through which Tories have been elected as they will need a new leader with Sunak stepping down and to be honest I can not see one who would be a worthy leader.

So i had a look at Tory social media, which btw is very weird and people were suggesting Ian Duncan Smith. If they do actually go for him it will just confirm they have totally lost the plot.

Any suggestions as to who else might take over?

I do think that this Labour government needs an effective opposition as that is how our system works and it helps protect us from the tyranny of the mass majority. I just do not see it though and that concerns me.

They need new blood, and yes Labour do need effective opposition but as you say they need a leader too.
