UK Politics Thread

Yeah the Brexit voters loathe Cameron.

Braverman potentially hoovered up a lot of UKIP type voters. Sacking her makes them question where they vote, Brexit voters will also question the Cameron appointment seeing it as a betrayal of Brexit.

There's likely some cross over in the Venn diagram of those groups but it's still a big chunk of voters that won't vote Conservative.

Can’t believe Cameron is back. WTAF.

I wonder if that’s tacit recognition the party need to step back towards the centre a bit, particularly in the context of getting rid of Braverman.

GE in spring, surely.

Its insane. Unelected bureaucrats telling us what to do.

There’s a definite trend toward sensible haircuts and well fitted suits in both parties at the moment.

It’ll probably work too. Not election winningly well but at least Cameron and Cleverley aren’t likely to request that the EDL assault the Policemen who are guarding elderly war veterans at a Remembrance service. Which is something of a positive step even if it is unbelievable that they’re trying it.

It doesnt speak well that they have nobody left within the party who can be considered moderate enough to fit the bill, so they have to draft in off-shore resources.

'We need a centrist'
'We are all out!'
'Quick, somebody throw Cameron some ermine'

Absolute clown car.

lmao

The appointment of Cameron and maybe a move back to the centre will shore up a few ‘lost’ voters. Can see a few people that maybe thinking of voting Lib Dem moving back. Hate to say it but it probably sensible stuff from the Conservative Party. Might not stave off an election defeat but it will make it a lot closer than what it currently is. There were murmurings Sunak may look to soften some of the brexit deal too, so it make sense.

Hopefully this is the start of putting ‘The Bastards’ back in their box.

It kind of makes sense to focus on not also being destroyed in areas more likely to vote tory long term, than try to rescue the red wall, which seems totally out of reach.

I think it's too late though, and Braverman and ilk will not go quietly into the night. 30p Lee is also still deputy chair.

I'd be spitting if I was one of the 2019 clown shoes. Promote Gullis, you cowards!

It's the Day Today esque extra "TWAT" that gets me

I really don't get the "Brexit voters will also question the Cameron appointment seeing it as a betrayal of Brexit." - we left FFS how is it a 'betrayal'. Stupid fucking right wing bellends.

I'm sure Sunak will be popular in saying not a single one of the MPs that aren't presently in government was up to the job of Foreign Secretary while the bloke who stupidly ran the country onto the rocks with his referendum is clearly better than them.
