Educating our kids on how to give the middle finger salute!!

That is disgusting.

 

We should be teaching our children the good old-fashioned British 2 finger 'V' salute ... not this American/European middle finger crap!

So all the cabinet/ex cabinet scum have thrown their hats into the ring I see.....

The problem with Labour is, unlike the Tories, their base will, inexplicably, not vote for them as a matter of principle. 

 

It's only really been Boris that has put off SOME tory voters but many have willingly continued to vote. But the Labour people will argue themselves blue in the face about why Starmer is too "right wing", etc etc. 

 

It's absolute lunacy, in my eyes and gives Starmer yet another hill to climb.

I think when push comes to shove and in the noise of an election, the people on the left will eventually vote for Labour. I do agree though, the left of Labour are more vocal about Starmer than the appallingness of the current government.

Much as it pains me to say it, there are more than a few self-hating lefties. I see them on my FB feed and I just scratch my head.

All of the names so far for the Conservative leadership don't look great. Anyone of Sunak, Shapes or Truss is depressing.

The bit where he goes all high pitched! Bohnson backed into a corner not quite so cuddly (like we didn't know that)

So true and it has to be taught correctly using the classic wrist movement. Particularly effective again the French, Pluck yew.

A Hunt/McVey combo is on a par with Doris/Fabricant.

 

They all need to disappear.  Needs someone to come in completely detached from the current ****show.

I’d vote sombrero.

Whoever gets the job looks like they’re going to have a massive task on their hands with the party themselves, let alone the country. I don’t remember ever seeing the Conservative party so split, knives being thrown in every direction. They can’t contain themselves anymore. I can’t see a candidate that will win the next election because I can’t see a candidate that will unify the party. (Plus there’s no strong reason to vote against the opposition.) All in all, I think there’s an argument to see someone like Truss win just so she can get trounced at the next election and that whole side of the party gets consigned to the bin.

 

I still think the One Nation Conservative party is in there somewhere but, just like Labour at the last election, the nutters need slapping down.

Good to see Rees-Mogg implying that sexual assault is mitigated because of being under the influence of alcohol, then.

Agreed. There were 107 new Conservative MPs at the last GE, so there should be someone amongst that group who would be suitable. Alicia Kearns, ticks quite a few of the right boxes, for me at least, having read about her background on Wiki. Finland and New Zealand both have a youngish woman in charge, so why not us? They are, respectively, the happiest and tenth most happy countries in the world!

Brilliant piece by James O'brien. The Tory rags keep repeating a lie so it becomes accepted 

[CosbehFox]

The latest we’ve seen of the Conservation leaders campaigns is frightening. As many predicted they are going to use Trans rights as the tool. Utter gutter tactics 

[Greg2607]

Is this a deliberate ploy by the Tories?  They know the economy is about to implode and probably don't want to be left holding the tiller. 

 

Are they hoping that labour force a vote of no confidence, go to a GE, let labour get in and then put the economic implosion on them?

 

Further reinforces the believed rhetoric that "labour can't manage the economy" etc???

Think how far Braverman gets will be a decent barometer as how much of a grip the loonies have on the party.
