Laura the Tory shill not subtle today. Her article might as well have been written by Tory head office.
I hope that happens because they will never get anywhere near winning an election with that strategy.Jacob Rees-Mogg has laid out his vision for the Conservative Party of the future, and it involves welcoming Reform UK into the ranks ahead of an election and appointing a senior role for Boris Johnson.
“It’s time to reunite the right,” said the Tory MP for North East Somerset as he called on Rishi Sunak to offer candidate selection to senior members of the Reform Party, including Nigel Farage, Ben Habib and Richard Tice.
He claimed that most members of Reform were “not a million miles away from most Conservative voters and members” and that his plan for the Conservative Party was its “only chance of climbing this electoral mountain”.
During his GB News show Moggologue on Tuesday evening, Rees-Mogg went on to suggest that the disgraced former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who quit over the Partygate scandal, should return and take up the post as Foreign Secretary again.
In a time when many people get their news from social media don’t underestimate the power of personality over policies. Only the other day on Times Radio people in a focus group were keen to see Boris back “as he’s got personality “. I wouldn’t rule out a merged Tory/Reform Party getting elected in the future, though the Tory brand is currently toxic so not at the next election.I hope that happens because they will never get anywhere near winning an election with that strategy.
They need to do the complete opposite and move to the moderate centre ground if they want any chance of winning an election in the future. Don't tell them though - it’s fun to see them self destruct.
