The fall of the Tory party

I'm ahead of the curve, I already installed a unisex toilet in my own home.

Bring on my socialist overlord sir Keir.... Wait...sir?

To be fair I'm all for them not deselecting the nutters and replacing them with centrists.

Let's shift our politics to the left where labour can be the new right and the greens etc can be the left

I like that idea.

Alexa.....show me a picture of the most Tory looking of Tories.....

It just so pathetic, he must be degenerate gambling addict to risk his job for £500 bet.

How could you think you wouldn't be caught.

How could you think you wouldn't be caught.

The law is for little people.

Also pretty skint if he can only wager a ton on a 5/1 dead cert

Political gambling is a small market, as I understand it’s highly likely that was the maximum bet allowed.

This is just what I’ve heard discussed about the issue.

I thought it was a spad or some non elected position, but he's actually a sitting MP.

Even if he somehow manages to cling onto his seat he'll presumably lose it shortly after the election in any investigation into this.

This is a long blog from Professor Chris Grey, but I think it offers a good analysis of what might happen with the Tory Party after this election.

One, minor, criticism; he doesn't really consider what would happen to the Tories after the election if the majority of their MPs are centrists. That, I think, will be key to what happens.

Finally - something interesting about Chris Philp:

Just had one of these through the door, good on whoever is taking the time to get this out there.

Fingers crossed.

Known as a tech whizz in the Tory party because he can use excel to make lists and has a folding phone.

A description of Grant Shapps which will rarely be bettered.

"Kemi is the future of the party"... but WHICH party? A resurgent BNP?

Have we ever had so many polls, from so many different companies, commissioned by so many different parties/organisations in the run up to an election before?

The news narrative is about the polls, not about policies or the character of the people involved.

He's a tech wizz, but sometimes can't remember what his real name is.

Superb.

It's worrying that the average Tory thinks that makes someone a tech wizz... surely most pre-teens are more able than that these days?

He needs an excel spreadsheet to keep track of his various identities.

That reminds me of our textiles teacher at secondary school being made head of IT because she owned a laptop. Had no idea how to use right click spell check.

Such valuable lessons.

Perhaps my parents should have paid for private school :D

Torygraph "getting the vote out"

Are there any policies this time? Labour seem to just be waiting for the Tories to shoot themselves in the foot and then take over. They didn't even have to hand them the gun.

If shapps is the tech wizz, what is gove? Wizz consumer?
