Tory Leadership Race

[ASCPFC]

What if reform nab a few more seats from labour and their MPs lose their seats though ?

What you'll probably find is one of the first things will be internal Labour dissent. If there are any real Labour believing MPs left, I can't imagine them thinking much of Harmer Starmer.

Race shouldn't have anything to do with who the Leader is. It should just be based on merit.

They could run a race and maybe do a couple of Gladiator type activities to separate the wheat from the chaff. I think Pritti Patel would have won in that case.

The words 'poetic' and 'licence' spring to mind!

I don't remember any problems with migration when Thatcher was in charge. I know that Major sold us down the river where Europe was concerned but blair was the real villain when it comes to uncontrolled migration and low wages including zero hour contracts etc.

That sounds like dementia.

They could make it like a Premier League club's appointment of an 'interim' Manager. I actually think Priti Patel would have been a particularly ferocious adversary for Starmer at Prime Ministers Questions.
And bombing the small boats in the Channel would have her and the Tories surging in opinion polls.
She had a very pleasant face, just as long at the camera didn't catch a shot from the waist down, where she was particularly bovine.
All the Tory potential leaders have glaring deficiencies in their armoury. but an election should be some way off. Plenty of time for another Leader it things go wrong.
I would have gone for Patel, just for the sheer vitriol she occasionally speaks. 😀

What I mean by crypto Marxism is talking socialist ideals but not actually having them
By distorted hippy values, I mean loving everyone - including those that literally hate the way you live. Hippies actually stuck it to the "man". This lot stick it to the majority of people in order to look good, whilst not being any good in reality. Typical middle class children of socialists and hippies. Would have been described previously as champagne socialists, largely. But that term seems to have disappeared with New Labour. Maybe this resonates with some.

Lots of them are just awful narcissistic and resentful people with daddy issues.

You couldn't trust them to find the right hole in a brothel let alone know what they are talking about on politics.

I am looking forward to attending 'Conference' and 'Hustings'.
Apropos the new leader of the Conservative Party, at this juncture I have an open mind in terms of my preference.
