The end of the Conservative Party?

Can’t read his terrible scrawl.

Probably faded as its a document from the 19th Century. I presume like that time he issued a photo of him "at work" with no monitor and keyboard on his desk he thinks his cos-playing a Victorian clerk somehow makes him a far more attractive proposition. I hope to fuck Sixtus rebels in his teens and wanders about sporting a rainbow dyed Mohican a heavily tattooed torso and a pink kilt - just to see the look of horror on his Dad's face

Are there no prisons?

Are there no workhouses?

 

[malg]

No

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

No

But yeah but.

It definitely feels like a schism is going to happen.

Ultimately the far right is on the rise all across the world, and the right wingers in the conservative party are probably not going to stick around behind the cover of the one nation tories for too much longer.

I suspect it'll be after the next election.

If Sunak follows the Johnson model and sacks his perceived enemies and promotes only loyalists then yes

The Tory right won't wander off into the wilderness and start their own party, for the same reason the Labour left won't.

There’s no need for either to do so. Whoever gets elected can change their mandate at will these days, so campaign as a centralist party and then change leader to get the lunatic fringe in power.

Out of interest I just Googled St Crispin. He is the patron Saint of cobblers - how very apt

Are centrists more likely to win power?

Seems a bit of a myth.

Where are the Liberal Democrats?
