The fall of the Tory party

Yeah, have fun with their budding arrogance... Just wait till it's in full bloom, it'll be like a corpse flower.

On betfair jenrick is still hot favourite but his odds have slipped back slightly after he has opened his mouth and said something in public.

Not that clear who benefitted. Seemed to be Badenoch initially but then Cleverly.

I still reckon run off will be jenrick vs cleverly, but high likelihood of any of them trashing their chances when they make their conference speeches in the next couple of days - or in associated media interviews.

Winner could be the one who is best at avoiding saying anything utterly stupid and deluded. I realise this is a high bar for this lot!

If it made money I'm sure he'd have given it a go.

The fact that this sort of withering contempt from anyone inclined to deliver it is thoroughly, incontrovertibly justified, proper, and yet pathetically insufficient to convey the astronomical quantities of scorn deserved by such a raving gang of unhinged spivs, which constitutes the'leadership' of one of the two major parties doing battle via FPTP to control the nation, should be cause for a sense of horrified forboding.

But every new horror is just the new normal after five minutes these days

We've just heard from former cabinet minister Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg, who has made the case the party should defend Labour's Angela Rayner's right to call Conservatives "scum".

James Cleverly has, meanwhile, set out plans to give Conservative members a much bigger say in policy formation and candidate selection.

Because pandering to their dwindling, demented membership has served the Tories so well.

Jonathan Gullis finding out that calling teachers "commies and Bolsheviks" and demonstrating his absolute pig shit-thickness whilst an MP has seriously impacted his ability to re-enter the teaching workforce.
Hasn't been able to even get an interview in three months.

Ha ha ha! Love it. Total POS

Gullis not even getting an interview post defeat. who knew that behaving like an idiot and demonstrating you are as thick as pigshit would have post MP impact. Peak schadenfreude for me.

Off her meds again:

Truss said they needed to be more radical, for example looking at scrapping or amending the Human Rights Act and the Equality Act.

"well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions"

Love the way that Truss is hangin' in there. You've lost your (very safe) seat love. No longer an MP, not a player a FORMER PM.

Your time has been an gone, you'll never come again, dead parrott time.

Yet on she goes, Cosplaying the role to any who'll still listen. She was right,right, right all along, one day they'll see, one day, one day!

One day my arse!

A former MP :)

When complete lack of self awareness marries with monumental ego.

She and Boris are quite alike

Just heard her on the radio “ushered back into office” the delusion is strong with this one.

She would have made a good wartime PM. The enemy could not predict her moves 🤨 and her comic charm would keep the nation's morale high. I guess she hopes there is still a chance for a second term.

We will fight them in the pork markets...

there is still a chance for a second term

Starmer could just take a holiday for 39 days?

We will fight them in the pork barrels ...

Fixed.

A classic of the quiet part out loud genre:

Great band name.

Famously nothing happens on the bond markets without their say so.

Just to be clear thats a fake quote but she did blame virtually everybody else in the country
