That political discussion with occasional humour thread

Only in today’s Conservative Party could someone like him be considered a star.

Another benefit of EVs.

@Porridge might be pleased to know that advertising for plain porridge oats won’t be banned in the UK. Versions of porridge with too much sugar will be, though.

A colleague used to buy those and I could smell the sugar from the other end of our quite long floor, he was pre diabetic of course with gout.

So that’s two odious people who have defected now. I can’t help wondering whether they are really welcomed by Farage. (Irony indicator on).

Reform is becoming Tories Mk2, I’m hoping it will do neither party well.

Hopefully they will fight and we can watch the fallout

Given the number of big egos, it’s almost inevitable

The next year or so will be interesting, given Jenrick’s obvious ambition. But I can’t see him getting the better of Farage.

It will be interesting to see who emerges as the next challenge to Badenoch.

I’m rather hoping that all the BJ favouring Conservative MPs will follow Jenrick and join Reform Ltd. thus allowing a Conservative party made up of better human beings to emerge.

That might also provide Britain with one electable party too, rather than the complete shower the country seems to have at present.

I’m of the opinion that all the middle of the road Tories have left the Party, sorry been kicked out and have either joined the Lib Dems or, like many others, given up on politics.

All I can say is bring back Rory Stuart.

True. But a good actor is a good communicator.

Not at all what Tump and his tiny thumbs are busy 24/7 on the oxymoronic Truth Social.

I’m struggling with the idea that Jenrick was “pre loved”.

Choked on my coffee :joy:

Well his mum probably loved him, so there’s that. Maybe if he’s married then his partner did too.
