Nah, she's nasty but she's vaguely competent. They want absolutely fucking mental and then the nasty bit

Thing is, if they go full loon they aren't offering anything that Farage doesn't. And the loons already like him so I can't see that ending well. Yeah they have the name but everyone is so fed up with them it's not worth what it once was.

A couple of the candidates also have, what members of the Conservative Party call, “a tinge”.
The membership have a problem with that.

Patel is possibly the smartest out of that group but she’s also awful and is probably a bit common for the rest of the party.

I honestly thought she'd made a smart decision keeping her head down after Johnson left and avoiding being associated with the disasters of Truss and Sunak. Keeping her powder dry or whatever. *shrug*
Maybe the other MPs just don't like her very much.

How Chris Philp can say this utter bollocks after the last 14 years is astonishing.

Is this the gaslighting period where they try straight convince everyone that they weren't in power the last 14 years and then a few people fall for it and keep repeating the falsehoods infinitely ala Bank of England there's no money left note?

Yeah they have the name but everyone is so fed up with them it's not worth what it once was. And Farage/Reform can always outflank then on the looneyness, because the truth is their support based includes those would never be put off regardless of how far right they go. They cannot be outflanked on this, and are totally unaccountable on it. |

As tactics go not admitting guilt when there's video evidence clearly showing what he said is a ballsy move and by ballsy I mean fucking stupid. I imagine his legal representation strongly advised him not to do this. You're going to prison mate, without the discount for pleading guilty. www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgrj75yx2q0o |

I think he was editor of the Times, moved around a bit, landed the "contrary" opinion gig at the Graun until he dies, but he's such a fucking indolent, ridiculous cunt I wish he'd just shuffle off immediately |

Jenkins' takes on anything are always fucking stupid in the same way that Jones keeps writing the same shitty article.

You do wish the Guardian would sometimes bother cheerleading a Labour government, yknow rather than keep Jones and Jenkins on staff. I know the Telegraph basically isn't journalism anymore but for fuck's sake can we not just enjoy a win for the fucking summer?

I perversely quite like Jones being on staff seeing how he's increasingly inhabiting that spurned lover trope. Very much a "look how better I'm doing without you" vibe. |
