To be fair they could offer to heal the hole in my arse if they got elected because it ain't ever going to happen. They are an irrelevance in British politics and have only got 4 MP's this time around because of their adoption as a handy protest vote vehicle. The Muslim vote will vanish as they become more politically defined (next election will be interesting to see how that manifests itself) with the blatant anti-humanist stance that underlies Green policy will see the Left drift as well.

You may have seen an article in today's Guardian by Peter Jenkins in which he argues that Sunak's most crucial task before stepping down is, "by whatever means he can", to return selection of leader to MPs. I agree.

The purple-rinse ladies can be relied on to go for someone unsuitable. It was after Conservative MPs had had Ian Duncan Smith foisted on them as leader that they decided to change the rules. Another change is needed.

IDS talks a lot of sense, he would still make a good leader.

I feel he apologised as he was told to by the new boss. He believed what he wrote but now in power they have to be whiter than white, and I didn’t even mean that tbh

The political position of Reform is well enough known at the moment not to have to be repeated all the time. Especially when the Tories are the subject.

There are many, me included, who hold precisely the reverse opinion. Only if people like you are given nowhere else other than Reform to do your moaning and groaning will the Tories ever have a chance of retaking the centre ground on which every UK government must stand. Two Reforms, or a merged Tory & Reform would always face the same problem. They have a natural ceiling to their support. The majority are not and never will be sympathetic to the politics of the right.
