It's been going this way since FPTP & Tory media - aided & abetted by BBC News & BBC current affairs - gave us Thatcherism, New Labour & Starmer. Thankfully the country is waking the fuck up - but we still need electoral reform, proper PR and above all proper radical social democracy. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

I hate the attacks on the Boomer generation - who mostly grew up with austerity, low parental incomes, inadequate housing and shabby education - who nevertheless worked hard, paid taxes and helped to rebuild the war-ravished country. The FPTP electoral system then gave us Thatcherism & decline.

Jenrick’s been on quite the journey from a one nation, Remain-voting Tory, through to frothing Brexiter and on to demanding that Royal Marines murder people at sea for daring to seek refuge here. All to impress the country’s racist losers and maybe get a few more votes. Christ he’s repulsive.

We’ll tell you what’s boring, Farage and the BBC… honking out Reform’s latest anti-asylum seeker bollox, as if it’s workable or wanted, and without any meaningful scrutiny. Yusuf on #r4today like a firehose of fascist idiocy, when this is the ugly truth behind their desperate outburst…

Brexit is forever tainted with disinformation, foreign interference, murky vested interests, ugly prejudice, unforgivable costs and now deep unpopularity. If you really cared about our country and wanted to fix its problems, you’d admit this… Good that Burnham is finally doing so…

Americans have under reacted to everything for years now. Not sure they are remotely prepared for what may be required of them. Hope to be wrong, but their resistance so far has largely been non-existent. Resistance isn't holding a placard on a street corner or marching in a protest parade.

Spot on. Jenrick becomes more and more fascistic by the week. He can't and won't "debate" issues any more than Trump does. He has opinions, not thought-through debatable positions. Extremely childish, extremely dishonest, extremely bone headed.

For 14yrs, the Tories cratered our economy, added thousands to our cost of living, melted down public services and brexited us into decades of eye-watering expense and lost opportunity. That’s still their plan. With tax breaks for the super rich paid for by welfare cuts. So what TF is this headline?

Devoid of ideas, Tories vow return to Thatcherite policies. They want to cut social spending, build prisons, cut taxes for the rich, free childcare for individuals earning £1m. What will they privatise, sell to foreign investors? No ideas on infrastructure investment, regulation of capitalism.

Voters loathed the Tory party when they booted them out in 2024.They really needed to shake off their disgrace with humility and better ideas. They haven’t. They’ve doubled down. More Brexit, more austerity, more anti-immigration ugliness, more tedious arrogance… and no good reason to vote for them.

Party seems to have learnt nothing from 2024 defeat
John Oxley

The Conservative Party is keen to show it is now ready to return to government, two and a half years after a
historic defeat.

Their self-soothing explanation posits that defeat came from not being able to do what they wanted

No such pivot is happening at the current conference. The Tories have come to Birmingham calling for a return to orthodoxy, with similar lines about cutting benefits and regulation. Even so, they seem trapped by the same contradictions
- pledging to cut benefits, but not the winter fuel payments and triple lock on pensions that go to their voters.
There is no "hug-a-hoodie" moment in Birmingham. The Conservative Party is not indicating that it has changed or seeking to broaden its appeal. It is doing the opposite: it is a party returning to its core, restating all the old ideas voters have rejected but louder.

That last line was the most cretinous - "People are united by common sense". She has absolutely no idea how she's seen by most people - whose common sense tells them she's a complete idiot and on a par with Liz Truss. The Tories kicked out their best people. They're left with fools and charlatans.

As long as the Tories are threatening to leave the ECHR, they aren’t a serious party. Consider it the ultimate red flag. Any party who’d take this entirely unnecessary and ruinous risk with our rights and our country’s security and wellbeing should never get its hands on power. (Letter, Times)

Value of the
ECHR
Sir, In dangerous times, serious countries do not retreat into splendid isolation. They build alliances, multiply their influence and strengthen institutions. Key among those is the 46-member Council of Europe, at its heart the European Convention on Human Rights.

As former independent reviewers of terrorism legislation we have seen at close quarters that the ECHR is not just a human rights instrument. It is a national security asset. Terrorist networks, hostile states, organised crime gangs and people smugglers do not respect borders. Tackling them requires arrangements for the closest possible co-operation with our neighbours, including through joint investigations and police access to European passenger, fingerprint, DNA and vehicle data.
