    Now stock up on popcorn. We are in for a wild wild ride.

    Kemi Badenough vs Dishonest Bob. Who’d have thunk it.

    Have they done their maths ok? 2024 Tory vote + a lot of remain > Starmer vote – loss of votes

    Also Badenoch is capable of withering Starmer in debates.

    They’re both absolute dogshit people but the UK culture industry will intensively gaslight us that their mindless bigotry and appeals for us to strip ourselves of our hard-won human rights is “making some good points”

  4. Good on Badenoch, I was concerned she’d be ousted for Cleverley but now I think she’s got this sown up, I’m not sure the Torys can win in 5 years but I think Badenoch will be a great figurehead in the interim.

  5. I’m increasingly hearing political pundits saying something went wrong, a miscalculation where Cleverly supporters tried to knock out the next strongest candidate. With only 120 MP’s they screwed it up.

  6. They seem determined to become the US Republicans, without understanding the key elements of Republicans strategy. Crucially that the multi-layered nature of US politics means that efforts to secure power locally can be used to manipulate the national system, such that you don’t actually need many votes at all to win big national victories.

    The Conservatives here haven’t done anything like the amount of ground work and hard graft which Republicans have done for the past 30+ years to get the system to a place where their insane ideas can succeed.

  7. Dumb and dumber – not sure which way.

    How does this even happen?

    Where are the normal competent people?

  8. I wouldn’t be too gleeful. If Labour don’t miraculously undo 14 years of Tory damage in less than 5, you just know we’ll end up with a far right government like the rest of Europe.

    The reaction from some Labour and Lib Dem supporters makes me uncomfortable. The gleeful certainty seems to learn no lessons from how volatile politics has been in recent years, and seems naive to what a right wing populist as the Tory leader might do to politics and general discourse.
