Switzerland 2 here we go.

Flashback to my fears in extra time yesterday!

A lot to unpack here




Anti-Immigration paper tells you to be an immigrant
Names places in Europe AFTER we removed the freedom to move there if we wished
Tells you to be a tax dodger
and has imagined a place without crime.

They won't be immigrants though, ex-pats remember?

He resigns a lot when shit gets real, doesn't he?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

In fairness he kind of had to here. You can just about have the ludicrous situation where you have a Minister who sits in the Lords, but you can't very well have a Shadow Minister from there, whoever he or she is has to directly hold the Minister to account in debates etc.

Of course it shouldn't happen at all and definitely shouldn't have happened with him after what he did to the country.

Tories must win back Reform UK voters, says Suella Braverman

The ex-home secretary says Nigel Farage's party poses an "existential threat" to the Tory party.

www.bbc.co.uk

How about instead if trying to out right wing Reform, you try to be a good voting proposition in the first place.

 

[Tony Towner]

It'll be interesting to see which white candidate comes through the process - Jenrick or an outsider? Braverman, Badenoch, Patel and to a lesser degree Cleverley may all speak like the membership, they don't look enough like them though

 

[Jack Regan]

Jenrick is basically Braverman lite, realised all her racist anti migrants stuff was working for her so decided to copy it. Could be a winner though, what with Braverman doing herself no favours with that batshit crazy speech she gave in the US last night.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Tugendhat perhaps. Probably too woke though and hates Johnson who has a ridiculous fan club amongst Tories still (he wouldn't come back right now, lots of work for no reward)

 

[pr0sl0]

Right of the party did worse out of the election than the rest so supposedly the one nation lot are feeling a lot more confident that they have a chance. In which case Tugendhat is a strong candidate for representing that wing.

Jenrick’s a weirdo, not sure he has any real base of support.

They voted in Sunak?

They voted in Sunak?

Didn't get past their MPs

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Didn't get past their MPs

Yep. Neither May nor Sunak even won an MP vote. Great mandate

 

[leedswolf]

Didn't get past their MPs

Yep. Unopposed.
