The fall of the Tory party

These folk just move about, its just a wage and they have no interest in anything they just hope that they fail on the way up. Humza up here has essentially done this!

And this is one of the major problems. Are monsters experts in their field or just pse at an oxbridge

Frightening...

Nothing in his wiki page above suggests he had any interest in the environment

and this is a surprise because...?

Except that Cameron buckled under pressure from ERG and put the EU referendum bill in the Tory party manifesto after they threatened to split from the Tories and join UKIP. This would have meant that the Tories could not have mustered a majority ever again.
He sold out the country to save the party.

I don't think we lack options on the right wing.

Coffey was ineffective as the Environment secretary,
but,
she had at least been a junior minister to Gove,
so had a grounding in the subject.

A grounding in also being shit.

For me Cameron's most famous political quote was across the dispatch box to Gordon Brown when GB was PM.

" You were the future; once."

I wonder which journo is goin to be the first to ask Lord DC if he's the future?

Edited to add; Chris Mason asked LDC this question as he was leaving 1O Downing St.

Esther mcvey ! Oh dear

Welcome to the age of stupidity. Hail the rise of the idiots!

Cameron's just the dead cat to take the wind out of suella's sails, right?

I think this is an over used term. But got to say after listening to commentary from my various podcasts, the chat is much more Cameron than Suella.

So actually it strikes me as a pretty slick move. Also impressed it didn't leak.

across the dispatch box to Gordon Brown

Blair, not Brown. Don't think anybody ever mistook Brown for the future.

Andrea Jenkyns has submitted a barely comprehensible letter of no confidence.

Minister for anti wokery

Cameron was the past; once

Cunts.

IDS appointed Minister for Sport.
William Hague appointed Minister without portfolio

Jesus Christ!

Maybe Sunak is actually a Labour sleeper agent. Hopefully he will call their bluff, announce an election, lose and then fuck off to California sure in the knowledge that internal divisions will finish the tory party for a few elections.

My (probably naive) take was that Cameron saw a referendum as a lazy way of shutting up the ERG who'd been a right pain in his arse for years. He'd seen the Scots IndyRef, and thought he'd apply the same strategy. He assumed that the country would vote no comfortably (which iirc was consistently the polling), and he could therefore shut the issue (and the likes of Rees-Mogg) down for the duration of his political career, if not longer. Much as I can see how the prospect of getting the Eurosceptic loons to piss off really appealed, the problems were a) he irresponsibly made a bet which the country couldn't afford to lose and b) we lost.

I'm not defending him at all, btw - it was reckless and irresponsible - just offering what my reading of it was at the time.

because of his work in the financial crisis (for those that don’t know, look it up, it was excellent) and for how much he is focused on remediation of child poverty, i would always put in a good word for Brown. And he’s a saint compared to this lot EDIT sorry, read your post out of context!

My mistake, thanks.

Not one leading picture of Braverman on the front pages. Project Cameron a resounding success.

She must be spitting feathers at being deplatformed.

I must admit that it is quite amusing and, grudgingly, an impressive piece of political narrative control.
