General UK politics VIII - The Last Tory

[Darat]

Apparently the EU is now the subcontinent - at least according to Farage “The politics of the subcontinent are currently playing out on the streets of Leeds. Don’t say I didn’t warn you” (on X).

 

[zooterkin]

Farage has tweeted about Trump several times in the last couple of weeks, and zero times about his constituency of Clacton.

 

[Darat]

Where?

Apparently the EU is now the subcontinent - at least according to Farage “The politics of the subcontinent are currently playing out on the streets of Leeds. Don’t say I didn’t warn you” (on X).

Oh, I though he was claiming that Leeds was effectively under Sharia law.

No sign of a racist dog-whistle, is there?

I would say that Shiites had taken over Clacton, but I'd be carded for evading the autocensor.

 

[Carrot Flower King]

Oh, I though he was claiming that Leeds was effectively under Sharia law.

"Tommy Robinson" has claimed that a Moslem Green Party councillor was stirring trouble when the bloke was trying to calm things down.

Racists gotta racist.

Starmer in the House

"Let me be clear, there is no need to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights, not now, not ever, Britain belongs on the world stage."

But he's the same as the conservatives!!

And it didn't work, they're already back in the country.

And they planned to spend up to ten billion. I can't believe for one second that there wasn't money feeding back to the Tories, individually or as a party, somewhere.

A sixth of Tory voters are likely to die before the next general election, according to a new analysis.

Looks like the Tory strategy of appealing to older less educated/informed voters may have inherent weaknesses.

I'm liking this new government.

Reeves to appoint Covid corruption tsar to claw back billions of waste

Attendance in Birmingham predicted to be worst in living memory with big impact on party’s fundraising efforts.
Businesses are expected to cancel their attendance at this year’s Conservative conference in unprecedented numbers, in a chastening snub that could also undermine the party’s ability to raise funds.

 

[Andy_Ross]

Who wants to be seen to be backing losers?

 

[Andy_Ross]

Nigel says he's made an open offer to Starmer to become an unofficial diplomatic go-between for the Government if Trump wins the election.

So that would be a good between for the man that didn't even see him after his trip all the way to the RNC?

 

[Mongrel]

It's not even about being seen it's about what they'll get for their money, currently they may as well set fire to it and call it art
It may improve next year but it depends on who the new leader is.

Nice KLF reference.
