Some tory MP is going to jump to reform at some point soon to try and shore up his gammon base vote 

[O'Kelly Isley III]

It seems Bobby Jenrick disney like what's going on.  GIRFUH.

Robert Jenrick resigning made me think of this

Quote

 

A senior Tory MP has told the BBC that "lots of MPs are concerned about their seats and the polls".

They said MPs are "rapidly forming the view the current management is not performing and will not deliver an election win”.

Has there ever been such a striking exhibition of imitating so accurately a sack of ferrets in politics?

You're through the looking glass when you reach a point where your immigration minister is resigning because new UK laws won't sufficiently decouple this country from the ECHR. 

Instead of dealing with the 170k backlog, we're being pushed towards fascism as the preferred solution.

Get us to f**k out of this - although you just know this govt would put tanks on the streets to avoid a land border they didn't fancy.

Seemingly Jenrick has resigned for the Rwandan deal not being tough enough this evening 

 

[Leith Green]

When Jenrick was on R4 a couple of days ago he sounded rather frustrated, but to resign because he doesnt think the new bill goes far enough is quite staggering.

This incarnation of the Conservative Party needs fired into the sun as soon as is practical. I have never been a fan of them, but if ever a political party needed a purge and a reset to its traditional values it is this lot.

There is a rather worrying potential endgame to this shitshow - that they invite bampots like Farage in, continue to call themselves Conservative, and attract traditional voters AND those with views even farther to the right.

Its MAGA reincarnated on the Thames.

I used to think that Sunak was just keeping the seat warm for a new Conservative Party leader after they get hammered at the next general election.

Now I find myself wondering who will lead the Tories into the next election as I can't see Sunak holding on.  Facing one deranged gang on the right would be hard enough but facing a general uprising from even his best pals mean Sunak is toast.

Time to escape from the Westminster asylum including its ermine wrapped appendage.

[10menwent2mow]

Sunak is toast and Braverman will be the new leader. There is absolutely zero chance of this brand of tories re-inventing themselves other than by lurching even further to the right. Hopefully the polls are wrong to the effect that they take an even sounder beating in the next GE than is predicted. Hopefully they have mis-read the room badly and actually no-one gives a f**k about migration as much as they seem to think. f**k the tories and all that sail in her.

Trying to decide if I'd like another Tory leadership contest before the election.

Regular reminder that despite what must be a record number of by-election defeats, the Government still has a very strong majority. I don't think I've ever seen such a weak-willed Government that is incapable of facing anything down and is at the behest of a group of activist backbenchers.

Would the fabled men in grey suits allow some lunatic like Braverman or Badenoch to become PM and Truss-up the economy again?

[10menwent2mow]

I think Braverman would quite happily bankrupt the UK if it meant stopping even one migrant boat reaching our shores. And the gammonista would lap it up. The mail would have her in the image of Britainnia and we can all go home and enjoy spam in the dark to get some good old wartime spirit going. 

Or something like that.......

I think that is a forlorn hope.  If you watch the news, current affairs or actually socialise with 'em down south you will know that far from  mis-reading the room by being too focussed on immigration the Tories are probably not doing enough to stop "them foreners from takin ma job"

Last 'generalist' ONS survey I can find is from October last year which reckons 43% think immigration is an important issue, with 6% ranking it as *the* most important - dwarfed by cost of living at 93 and 48% respectively. The NHS is also second in the 'important issue' bracket at 82%. Given they've made a rancid arse of the first and the immigration strategy is in part to ensure the destruction of the latter, it's probably the 6% that might go to Reform that they're chasing.

The thing about Jennrick resigning because we didn't pull out of the ECHR so we could then legally send people to Rwanda.......the Rwandans have said they wouldn't take anyone from the UK if we did pull out.
