It’s the Conservative Brand that is the biggest problem for the Conservative Party right now.

It all goes back to Boris. This is what my dad was saying, and he’s been saying it for a decade not just right now. Boris was 100% in politics for himself - not the party, not good government. He was just a cad. He switched from Pro EU to campaign for Brexit simply because seeing opportunity to become PM by destroying Cameron. Throwing out the party the soft Brexiteers and strong centrist politicians who had been passionate Tories their whole lives and only rebelled a whip once - how the hell was he allowed to get away with it? 😖 And his government did not do economics. It did bluster about about to become so much flipping being better off, better wages than ever. His 35 minute “Jon Bon Govi” Conference address on eve of credit crunch didn’t even mention difficulties to come and plans for it everyone, including industry and business were listening for. Boris Stark Hard Brexit ripped up 100 years building the most trusted Fiscal Conservative Party in the world - the thing elections are won on. Boris delivered the Boriswave, the gift reform are suckling on putting them on 30% and Tories less than 20%.

The damage to to the Conservative Brand was the madness of succumbing to King Boris. And it’s hard to see how quickly it gets better for the Conservative Party now.

It’s the Conservative Brand that is the biggest problem for the Conservative Party right now. The solution has to be move back to the centre, and stop merely photocopying Farage’s policies like using ICE to deport seven hundred thousand people living working and in school here, stop being a drill baby drill party of climate change deniers, don’t glibly leave ECHR before pushing for reform. Etc.

Jesus fucking Christ this forum is now near-useless

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good bye

Don't like the door hit you on the way out.

Don’t worry I’ll be banned again soon enough. Whatevs

I do get the Impression the majority here would rather have a group where everyone shares the same core set of views and just spend all day broadly agreeing with each other.

Well, yes. It makes them feel comfy, it is quite sad

We used to compare PB to a raucous pub, which it was, at its best. It has become more of a low-to-middling golf club crossed with pre-trans Mumsnet

The irony is that you and Taz are the ones currently having a circle jerk

Can 2 do a circle jerk? More likely a reach around.

In news that will matter far more to the public than the rancid Braverman, magic MILF Nigella Lawson has taken over from Danny Krueger’s Mom on Bake Off.

A Tory gain from Reform in the Bakeoff Constituency?

Sadly it’s even worse.

It’s filmed in Welford Park in Newbury which is Lib Dem territory.

I was just trying to cheer the crestfallen Tories. Back in the day wasn't she on the New Labour celebrity circuit?

I don’t know. I just used to like her cookery shows.

No one could lick a spoon like her.
