Jenrick's ambition vs Cleverly's loyalty vs Badenoch's courage. This Tory leadership race is a mashup of Hogwarts, reality TV, and a Thatcher rerun. Who makes it to the final two? #ToryLeadership #HogwartsPolitics #ToryMeltdown #UKPolitics #TheatreOfTheAbsurd #Tories https://buff.ly/4dy2azw
The Tories’ Fearless Four battle on to the end. Alas, that’s just the beginning

By the end of the candidates’ conference speeches, the audience was screaming to be let out. Even before the national anthem

So the UK Tories collapsed as predicted, and Le Pen abysmally failed to win power in France.

I repeat: There is nothing inevitable about the rise of the far right.

But there is every reason to fight.

The next time you hear mainstream media tell you the story of the inevitable rise of the far right, remember that they'll keep that story going despite the fact that the far right lost power in Poland last year and is about to collapse in Great Britain. It's one of those stories that seem fact resistant. This is not inevitable. Could we please include all the regular setbacks and collapses as well? #Politics #Media #FarRight

In one way I am grateful for the #Tories pivot to hating all young people with this #NationalService debacle.

At least it takes the heat off of trans people for a bit.

It’s worth remembering that 2019 was also a bad year for the Tories in local elections. And they have lost 1,000 seats compared to that. A truly disastrous (for them) result. 🎉 #LocalElections2023 #ToryMeltdown

So now the Tories are trying to work out if Bozo would win a leadership contest. They're desperate not to end up stuck with him for another 12 months, as that might see them lose the next election.
