sidcow Posted October 6, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 6, 2023 Tories lose their deposit in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election. They're a party of nutters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicho Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I wonder what their supporters think of the conference. From the outside/opposition it looks like a load of raving politicians trying to say stuff to save their jobs, lies lots of lies and clearly at opposition to each other still. Are they seeing it and saying that’s exactly what the country needs or hearing one headline and thinking thats enough for me to vote for them. It’s immigrants, Covid, Russia, trans, woke, northerners fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only assume that those lines are for those “patriots” across the lower and working class looking at it and thinking that’s exactly what is wrong so let’s keep them in, they speak for me.

The biggest con of a party in history. Yes, that's the grift. They've persuaded people who won't get richer that they will - not necessarily simply financially. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ml1dch Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 In other very nerdy election news, there was a council by-election in Amington yesterday, which forms part of the Tamworth constituency. So with all the usual caveats, it is still Tamworth constituency voters who will be voting again in two weeks doing a basic Tory / Labour choice. So gives *some* information. The Labour candidate won by nine points - apparently a five point win here (based on previous votes etc) would have been the benchmark to suggest that Labour are on track to win the Pincher seat in two weeks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the tories are going to get battered at the MP by-election in 2 weeks time. Everything on social media is about getting them out of the town.

Won't happen. The Tories will actually get more throbby and more irrelevant. Just wait until Farage re-joins them They will have to unite around someone after the next election and in all likelihood that will be one of Patel, Braverman, Mordaunt (but she might not even keep her seat) or Badennoch. There isn't a viable option for leader that isn't a throbber and the grassroots party is more throbby than a throbby thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a viable option for leader that isn't a throbber and the grassroots party is more throbby than a throbby thing James Cleverley is the closest they have. Clearly doing his best to keep all of the lunatic fringes on his side, popular with the members etc. I reckon if the final two were him and Badenoch he'd lose, him and Braverman he'd win. Unless something strange happens, I'd expect those three to be the people in the conversation though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody here good at trains? I know, I know! Is it a magic money train? The post suggests that the "here's how" is in the photo. So Rishi with his folder on a private jet is the solution to all those problems.
