    Why is she even still a public figure? She trashed the economy and doubled mortgages for millions. She’d do best to keep a low profile.

    I really hope she just disappears after the election. As annoying as she is now, at least she’s making Labour’s point that the Tory’s are a shitshow

    More like the generally right-wing British public no longer want to be associated with the corrupt scum that are the Tory party.

    It’s pretty sad when the people that would support you by default have grown sick of you.

      They UK public aren’t that right wing. It’s just FPTP. The left is spread over more parties. It’s why UKIP/Reform drag the Consecutives round. They can’t afford the vote splitting. We aren’t as badly two party as the US, so Conservatives playing the US Republican playbook to keep their nutters happy, is just destorying them.

        When you actually talk to people most people are pretty middle of the road left of center or right of center. So parties should be pretty close to the center if they want votes as you say going after the extreme fringe groups only alienates everyone else.

        The Tory strategists know this, which is why they keep trying to pull the conservatives back to the center, but the likes of 30p, and Mog refuse to get the message.

          By definition the majority will be at the centre. Where the centre is different by county of course.

            That’s not how politics works the center is the moderate.

            If everyone in the country is a Nazi the center is not the average the center is the moderate. By definition not there for the average.

              You ask those Nazis where the centre is. Their centre won’t be ours. When talk about the centre, it will be their’s they are taking about.

      People just call labour that because they want them to be a socialist party. I would like them to be as well because I think that’s the direction society needs to move in but unfortunately they are not socialist. Doesn’t mean however that they are like the conservatives. That are just left of center.

      That’s still a massive improvement, if only because they are competent. We can look at societal change in the future, but right now I’ll settle for effective governance. It will be nice to go through a week without having to hear about 16 different scandals.

    I imagine why they won’t admit it is because they aren’t.
