Its not an awful lot of use but it does shown that the Tories haven't published their Membership figures since 2013.

Mikey, look at this.
//But did Labour really gain that many new members?
Despite widespread reports Labour's membership had surged by 150,000, the figures proved to be false.
A Labour party spokesperson told The Independent: "Those are not numbers that we recognise."//

You're being duped.

Naomi....the Tories no longer publish their Membership numbers because they have been plummeting for years.
If they had been increasing, we would all know about it !
When May promoted Brandon Lewis a few days ago, his main brief was to halt the declined in Membership, as he told John Humphrys that day after the Cabinet re-shuffle.

Meanwhile in the real world a key Brexit bill is cleared in the house of commons yesterday, under the radar, by 324 to 295. Corby forgets his lines and fails to ask a question that his puppet masters had prepared, whilst Mrs May brutally puts him down in response to his political statement about the demise of Carillion that he substituted in panic.
//"It's a racket!" Jeremy Corbyn yelled in his best impression of Al Capone – sporting a Che beret rather than a fedora, obviously.
The focus of Corbyn's ire was Carillion, an issue he rightly chose to hammer at for his entire section rather than adopting the scattergun approach of Corbyn circa early 2016.
His inquiries were focused and direct – apart from the one time when he went on a lengthy rant and forget to ask a question at the end.
"As he didn't actually ask a question I cannot give an answer," May rightly pointed out.
Corbyn attempted to use Carlllion's failure to open up the argument on private sector contracting as a whole.
"These corporations need to be shown the door," he bellowed, before rallying against a 'broken system' that saw him draw on Virgin and Capita for more evidence of mismanagement.
His tub-thumping was lauded by those on the Labour frontbench, while the Tories waited with bated breath to see if May had any bullets left.
She hadn't quite run out of ammo, and landed a fair blow by accusing Corbyn and shadow chancellor John McDonnell of being anti-business.//

Togo....you are right......"accusing Corbyn and shadow chancellor John McDonnell of being anti-business"
She did that instead of answering the questions....
"why did her Government award contracts, to Carillion, after 3 consecutive profits warnings ?"
Corbyn gave her plenty of time to answer that question, but instead, she blustered on about every else but.
And her Government still hasn't answered the question.

//If only yesterday had brought some competent generalship. Instead we had a doddery Jeremy Corbyn trying to ask Mrs May about the collapse of Carillion, that private company given multiple millions to fulfil certain state-paid services.
Mr Corbyn did not seem entirely on top of the capitalist details. He said the Government should have done more to ‘manage’ Carillion. Mrs May said that, er, the whole point of hiring outside companies was that the Government was a customer, not a manager, and was therefore not in the frame for bailing out a private company. Mr Corbyn countered that the Government should have walked away from Carillion once it offered a profits warning. Mrs May gently started to explain that a profits warning only meant a company did not expect to make as much money as had been envisaged. If we always walked away from companies issuing profits warnings, many more businesses would go bust, she said.
Mr Corbyn became ratty. After a spiel about how Carillion’s share price had fallen, he said: ‘It looks like the Government was handing Carillion public contracts either to keep the company afloat, which clearly hasn’t worked, or it was just deeply negligent of the crisis that was coming down the line.’ And with that he ambled back to his place and sat down.
Mrs May was baffled. ‘I’m very happy to answer questions when the Rt Hon Gentleman asks one,’ she said. But in this case ‘he didn’t’. So she, too, sat down.
Labour MPs went nuts. Dawn Butler, as ever sitting next to Mr Corbyn, mouthed ‘pa-fet-ic!’ Tom Watson, who after weight loss looks a little like Spongebob Squarepants, sucked his cheeks. Mr Corbyn started snarling at the Tory benches, which had enjoyed Mrs May’s uncharacteristically brisk repartee.
Mr Corbyn was so bad, maybe he should think of outsourcing his questions for future PMQs.//
Haha bang on again Quintin Letts.

Despite the hero worship on display here, certain people with a real inside perspective seem to think that Corbyn will be gone.
