You underestimate the stupidity and desperation of the Conservatives.
In the almost guaranteed scenario of Labour still having a sizeable lead in the polls in a year’s time, you can almost guarantee that Bozo will be making overtures to his fellow backbenchers, plugging the line that he’s the only one who can win the next GE for the Tories.
BoJo also called and substantially won the last election and then pushed over the finish line work his two predecessors failed to do. Probably still has political capital if the temple falls down over his colleagues, as it may well do.
what do you guys think of the Labour MP Wes Streeting? He seems like quite a strong personality and potential leader of the Labour party?
Edit: Another thing which worries me with Michael Tice declaring a new party called Reform UK party or something. It is rumoured the many Conservative members have resigned and joined the Reform party. Aren’t they even more right wing and supported Truss’s mini budget?
Bojo was up against an imploding Jeremy Corbyn at the last election, so I don’t think that really counts for all that much. He will also have almost no capital from his brexit deal - polling on the deal has at least 60% saying it was a mistake.
That is even before we consider whether he would want to be leader of a party facing wipeout at the election when he wants to be seen as a winner.
I just hate the fact that the political system we have does not produce informed converstaions, and that the media’s role in this is an endless attempt to create the next gotcha moment.
Watching Yvette Cooper now being interviewed by Ben Brown on the BBC and it’s so unsatisfying.
Many of the current conservative membership were probably UKippers previously, so not a surprise. I don’t see the reform party amount to much now. It has to pull/ continue pulling support from Labour, i’m not sure it can given Labour is trusted more than the conservatives on brexit by those who wanted it and will most likely have a set of policies to the left of them.
Tice has no charisma, UKIP was only something to worry about when Farage was around.
As to your question - I like Wes Streeting. Looks a fairly safe pair of hands but I think he isn’t liked by the left of the party.
The impression I have of him is a lot of hot air but no substance, a little like a Labour David Cameron…
Are you talking about Richard Tice?
Not a new party by any means, simply just another incarnation of the scam formerly known as the Brexit Party and the United Kingdom Independence Party, among other names.
She is the actual definition of a political punch bag
Cheers for this Redfanman, for the great explanation:+1:
British politics has become so fractious, I just don’t know who to believe, who has the country’s best interests at heart.
Me too. 
In the first ten seconds I was really wondering where this was going…
He couldn’t have beaten at least a couple of them to death?
At least we now know the current source of elite cuntishness and smugness.
In any case, Happy St Crispin’s Day everybody.
May your gooses be plump and stuffed with starlings.
