This is the sort of opinion piece that made me cancel my Torygraph subscription. It aspires to be an intellectually sound argument but is just inchoate drivel.

I donât think weâll agree on certain aspects but thatâs all fine.
I do think that Labour do need to become an opposing force at some point. That might have been that opportunity.
I read quite a few in line comments to articles at the moment and there are still plenty of people that think that Labour would be worse and give reasons that are so broken it takes some imagination to dream that up. They arenât going to turn everyone but they still have a long way to go in my opinion. Any sign of a steady ship from Sunak they will flock back, if ignoring the fact that the house is on fire.

Any moderate conservatives who even consider voting for this current Tory party need to take a long, hard look at themselves in the mirror.
Any semblance of moderation left the party a long time ago.

That will be really good for the economy.
Does anyone want to ask him how many children his own son has?
Or how about his mate, the Rt Hon Member for the Eighteenth Century?

I watched the programme. He also had a go at âlefty lawyersâ in his interview.
The Conservatives: twelve years in power, but itâs still always somebody elseâs fault.

To be fair, apart from lefty lawyers he also mentioned Labour, the EU and French and Germans - and criminal gangs (other ones than the aforementioned I guess)
The inflammatory dialogue Braverman used in the Commons today is going to stoke up flames of intolerance in the UK. We are already a society where the poor and vulnerable are worse off due to the cost of living crisis.
I worry that there will be tension amongst white and the ethnic minority communities in certain places in the UK and the Police are already stretched with their limited resources. It takes one incident to trigger a riot, then spreads across the cities in the UK, like in July 2011.
She was speaking in the language the National Front used to use in the 1970s when they distributed their leaflets. I thought Priti Patel was the worst. This woman, she is truly the most repulsive of the lot.
It is very concerning indeed.

I will be honest in that I am not fully read up on todayâs exchange in the commons or the National Front leaflets of the 70âs or any other decade.
I do agree that the use of the word âInvasionâ is very much a dated expression and I am sure that if it was used by a white individual it would be deemed as racist. So I am curious, do we see this as racism or just an ill worded assessment of the situation the UK and many European countries are presented with?
