I can't believe you are complaining about personal insults! Pot, kettle & black spring to mind. I think you will find it's a kettle of colour. Have I complained? Just pointing it out |

So, My Tory loving friends, or rather the majority on here who think the Tories are raving lefties www.telegraph.co.uk/money/tax/true-cost-tories-tax-heist-middle-class-families/Wass fink? Is this the true context of Labour's inability to fund their green strategy proposals? 14 years of Tory rule and what have we got? Broken public services and the highest tax take since modern peace time records began. And a flat line economic growth for the country as a whole. Meanwhile, all the time you guys are celebrating Joe Biden's age related decline, the GDP in the States grew by nearly 5% in the last quarter. Job creation is running at a high level and inflation is below 3.5%. Not bad for an old guy. Oh, and he has drafted a border bill that Republicans can only dream about. |

Now look at their demographic time bomb and ultra nationalistic view to immigration. Then compare those views and outcomes to the (increasingly horrifying) right wing narrative on here. |

Why Priti Patel is a good bet for the next Conservative leader
The former home secretary could unite the right by bringing back Boris Johnson and bringing in Nigel Farage.
By David Gauke

At the end of last year, I mentioned in passing that I thought Priti Patel was a good outside bet to be the next Conservative Party leader. At the time her odds were 50/1. This week I checked her odds again and they have tightened undramatically to 40/1. Are New Statesman subscribers not betting people or were they simply unpersuaded by the suggestion? Here I am, offering potentially lucrative betting tips and the market has barely moved. What is the matter with you?
It is all very well saying that Patel would make an implausible party leader, incapable of offering a broad appeal to the country at large and lacking the intellectual capacity to be seen as prime ministerial. I am not saying that is wrong, but have you forgotten that Liz Truss once got the job too? (Something which I cannot resist pointing out had been predicted here.)
If you don’t want to listen to me, try Ed Balls. On his Political Currency podcast on Monday, he suggested that Patel might come through the middle and be a surprise winner of the next Tory leadership election. As is increasingly common for my generation of Treasury ministers, I find myself in agreement with him (or him with me).
The case for Patel as Tory leader (by which I mean why she might become Tory leader as opposed to why she should) perhaps needs to be made in greater detail.
My starting assumption is that Rishi Sunak will fight the next general election, lose (potentially badly) and resign. Conservative Party members will be fractious and disenchanted. They will share the analysis set out in their favourite newspapers that the Conservatives were not conservative enough on crime, immigration and taxes; that Sunak lacked the necessary oomph to get the message over; and that the biggest problem was not the loss of votes to Labour and the Liberal Democrats but to Reform. There will be nostalgia for Boris Johnson and admiration for Nigel Farage.

The bookies’ favourite is Kemi Badenoch, and understandably so. She is distant from but not disloyal to the Prime Minister. She has run before but is still a fresh face; she is of the right but has a broader appeal.
