Didn't get past their MPs

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.

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

Vile. When she doesn’t get elected as Tory leader she should just get on with defecting to Reform.

Be amazed if she and some others dont step over to reform

She'll be lucky to escape Arkham Asylum, nevermind Reform

Missed it last night but the sister of Jo Cox lost her Batley seat to an Independent candidate campaigning on a pro Palestinian platform.

I got this wrong. Kim Leadbetter stood and won in the Spen Valley constituency as her previous Batley and Spen was subject to boundary changes.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Braverman will try for the leadership and if she’s successful she’ll enter talks to merge with Reform. If unsuccessful she’ll leave the Tory party and join Reform. I’d put big money that one way or another she’ll be on the same platform as Farage at the next election.

by all accounts, bravermans popularity within the tory party has fallen remarkably. If she does stand, I feel she'll be quickly out of the contest.

More the few MP's they have left than the membership of the Party

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

They need to stop involving their nutbar membership in the process tbh. Ridiculous tiny demographic and well, they picked Truss. Just say that disqualifies any of you for 30 years from having a say, and none of them will live that long.

Speaking of their membership

Almost half Tory members want merger with Reform UK, poll suggests, as leadership infighting escalates – UK politics live

Shadow home secretary James Cleverly has urged the party to avoid descending into ‘bitter infighting and finger pointing’

I want green energy, just not in my constituency...

 

[Johnny75]

I've always thought the Greens were a bit of a joke.

Confirmed now.

Greens want the renewable energy but want it delivered underground. Company not happy as they say it will pretty much triple the cost. Main complaint seems to be 'yeah but they won't look very nice'. Tbh I'd rather have Norfolk with pylons than Norfolk under 30 feet of water in 100 years time but maybe that's just me.

 

[BillyDee]

Yeah, but fuck Norfolk though
