Is the lack of universal approbation making you uncomfortable ?
The Conservative party has definitely changed from the 80’s, now modern, progressive, inclusive. Boris wants to save this Conservative party from disaster. There’s a huge number of Conservative members and voters who passionately believe the way forward out of Britain’s decline in this world has to be a break from the EU and go global Britain. They will go to Farage’s neo Thatcherite Party if the Conservative government doesn’t deliver Brexit. Perhaps go for ever. remainers need to battle for those voters too, not remain in denial about what has happened and why. Progress in this instance is satisfying what remainers across the political spectrum remain blinkered to, desire of the British people for self governance and reversing Britain’s decline in the world.

That is all good and well. except: *) IME the UKIP-entry 'Boriservative' party is not about being modern, progressive or inclusive. Hence the UKIP-candidate who once complained about the evils of immigration in front of my wife. *) Farage is not 'neo-Thatcherite'. He's the first Faragist. *) I'm intrigued about what you think the cause of 'Britain’s decline in this world' actually was.

Lets be honest and straightforward about role immigration plays in our politics today. People see greater numbers of culturally foreign looking people about the place and feel uneasy about that, not because they are consumed by hatred and prejudices, but because it’s change they don’t feel comfortable with exactly same as loss of the green spaces and what was farm land 35 years ago to crummy housing blocks and estates is change they are not feeling comfortable with. This taking back control can only be addressed by standing up to business as Brown and May pledged to, cutting immigration to tens of thousands rather than hundreds of thousands as Cam promised. Where those politicians explicitly promised and nakedly failed, voters turn to others to deliver.
100 years ago today a school teacher pointed to a map of the world, the Union Jack was all over it. We owned it. Since then one by one those flags were erased till the last flag on top the British isles was erased and replaced with the EU flag. During same period we have deindustrialised. Take a look at youthful Alan Whicker counting British cars on this bridge to illustrate British industrial decline and consider how decades of astute governments we have or haven’t played a smart long game in managing our transformation to post industrial.
In the excellent Brexit Uncivil War Cummings went out into the street put his ear to the road because he could hear something. Read between what I am posting. I’m not trying to upset remainers, I’m trying to help them hear it too. For example, is it honest to say standing up to business and cut immigration to tens of thousands takes billions of £ out the economy?

Hard left?! Me? I think you may have confused me with a member of the Labour party.
The last thing this government is concerned about is the interests of the country.
Still I am sure hard Brexiteers like you will be volunteering to be the first to lose your jobs and be last in the queue for medicines. After all you wouldn’t want us to think that you’re the sort of hypocrite who is happy for others to suffer but unwilling to endure the pain themselves, would you?
Have been saying for months there would be a general election in October.
And I've been saying for ages that it actually isn't possible to hold one unless he calls it tomorrow...
Let's see how things play out but Boris can only get an election if 440 MPs vote for one and I suspect they may have urgent business on the day of the vote...
And if he doesn't hold it tomorrow Labour forcing him to extend for the election to occur will be a sight to behold...

I think you mightt find this piece on No Deal Brexiters interesting. Inity is a long way off.
Memo to Liz. Try not to look TOO desperate for one of those Global buccaneering Britain deals:
"Why would Canada make any concessions in a CETA equivalent [deal] when we know that we'll have pretty much 95 per cent duty-free access into that market?" said Brian Kingston, vice-president of the Business Council of Canada.
"Yes, the U.K. is an important and large market, but any negotiator sitting down with them would recognize that there's a different level of desperation with the Brits."

Hello Cyclefree I was in one of 'your' constituencies Copeland yesterday. They love your views there. Are you going to take the opportunity to vote labour there??
I have to say I think that Johnson has been politically very smart indeed. This Cabinet all but guarantees a big swing from BXP to the Tories. How can Farage not endorse it? With a split opposition he has to be a huge favourite to win the next election. The only spanner in the works is that what Johnson has done is so extreme that it may galvanise non-Tories to be very careful with their votes. I can see a scenario where Labour keeps most of its English seats, while the LDs pick up quite a few in the SE and SW, as well as some in Scotland. I am more confident that the LDs will do well than Labour will, but it could happen.
Corbyn's departure is the only game changer, otherwise it's going to be Johnson win as the opposition fragments as it did in the Foot v Alliance years. The consequences of Labour members electing Corbyn become more tragic as each day passes.
Good strong new Cabinet from Boris. A more mixed top team with 3 Remainers replaced by Javid as Chancellor, a Remainer but first Asian Chancellor and Raab as Foreign Secretary and Patel as Home Secretary, both Leavers and Patel first female and first Asian Home Secretary
Promotions too for women like Villiers and Truss so far

Hilariously unaware... Your man has terrified your party an infuriated the rest of us... The only questions now are how quickly and how badly does this fiasco end?
Nope, this is a Cabinet more ethnically diverse and female and which has more Leavers too and will win back many Brexit Party voters to the Tories without whom Boris cannot win a majority

Striking thing so far is the number of retreads who left for reasons of scandal or general uselessness. Is it because the talent pool is that empty, or is BJ the PM after people who are too compromised to argue back at him? Neither is a good look.

With respect, you probably had similar expectations in Spring 2017! I certainly did - and was proved wrong.
Yet the number of Tory Party voters to Brexit Party voters down 12%, mainly swapping some Tory Remainers to the LDs for Brexit Party Leavers to the Tories.

Sadly just about nobody on here agrees with you.
Including himself. He is a remainer who voted remain in 2016. He is bitterly disappointed.
Must admit I am somewhat surprised that Amber Rudd and Nicky Morgan are willing to sit in a Cabinet that's prepared to leave the EU on 31st October Deal Or No Deal...

Yes all the names so far (except the guy at Defense no on has ever heard of) are people who have been on the scene for years and years.
I was expecting Cabinet promotions for quite a few of the 2015 in take but doesn't look like it's happening.

Mrs J was recently very ill in hospital, during which time she was treated by many 'culturally foreign looking people'. Fortunately it was not as serious as feared and they didn't have to save her life, but I bet those 'culturally foreign looking people' would have saved her just as well as the 'culturally white looking people' would have. and that's a problem I've seen first-hand: many people who complain about 'immigrants' refuse to see the immigrants who contribute daily around them as immigrants: 'immigrants' are the horror stores in the Daily Mail.
And change is the one constant in life. A country that does not adapt to change, fails.

They will not love the damage a No Deal Brexit will do their area. The Tory MP has a very small majority. She’ll be out on her ear.
Jenrick succeeds Brokenshire at Communities, Housing and Local Govt.
Owns multiple houses worth over £5m, who says he is an entrepreneur when never ran his own business, but was a manager for an auction house. Not one of the elite at all.
Bad news for anyone renting or ever wanting to buy their first property at a reasonable price. Bad news for the long term future of the Tory party as even fewer 30 and 40 somethings move to supporting them.

Johnson's radical ruthlessness is sending a message to the electorate and also to Brussels.
Just like the Roehm Purge of 1934!
I just wish that sometimes people wouldn't over do it with all these 1930's analogies. I mean it's not like Chamberlain has left and Churchill has taken over is it?
Interesting chart. The Tories are losing votes to the Lib Dems as quickly as they are regaining them from the Brexit Party.
Experts will know better but I imagine seats wise losing a further 5% of votes to LD but gaining 5% from Brexit party would cost rather than gain Tory seats? Particularly with anti Tory tactical voting likely to be higher than ever.
