The One Time I Hope Boris Is Telling The...
News2 mins ago
The Conservatives having stabbed Boris and made a hash of replacing him with two failures in succession, sacked Suella - the only one in recent office who had the courage to speak as many people see it - and reinstalled the hapless coward that is Cameron, are now I believe in seriously dire straits with the right leaning electorate - even if they are too far removed from real life to recognise it.
Will this untenable situation result in a shift towards Reform UK, a party that does actually appear to support what vast swathes of the electorate - including those first time Conservatives in the north - voted for the last time?

Most Cabinet ministers are from the House of Commons rather than the House of Lords. In particular, all prime ministers since 1902 have been members of the lower house (Alec Douglas-Home, who became prime minister in 1963 whilst still an earl, disclaimed his peerage and was elected to the Commons soon after his term began).
Looks like a classic case of divide and conquer Naomi.The more Tory type voters vote for the Reform Party the more likely Labour wins.Up here in Scotland at Rutherglen it was a case of tactical voting between the Tories and Scottish Labour to vote out the SNP numptie.Tactical voting is the way forward methinks.
Ynna, I don't think tactics are coming into play here. I think after a catalogue of disastrous moves by this government - the first being the political assassination of Boris, the latest Suella's enforced departure and cowardly Cameron's re-emergence, a lot of Tory voters feel it no longer represents them. that's how I feel anyway.
The Conservative Party is a broad church.
Is that still the case? Probably not for quite some time, at the latest when the whip was withdrawn from Ken Clarke, i.e. September 2019. That was the end of the left of the Tory party, now the right of the Tory party looks to be happier with Reform, which leaves a very narrow church indeed ...
