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.

Raise the Colours leader given access to Reform UK conference while on bail. Ryan Bridge, arrested this year on suspicion of religiously and racially aggravated harassment, says party invited him, and Farage offered financial help with his criminal defence. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
At a conference event on Saturday, Nigel Farage paid tribute to the flag campaign and told Bridge personally that Reform UK would offer legal support. “What your campaign has done is wake up vast parts of this country,” Farage told Bridge from a stage inside the conference after the activist was among three people selected to ask questions of the Reform leader during a discussion hosted by Jeremy Kyle.

“If we can help you legally, we will,” said Farage, after Bridge told him he had an injunction against him putting up flags in Oxfordshire and was also facing one from Birmingham city council.

And nice of Richard Tice to make up a new criminal offence of 'entrapment.' For the record, and I'm a criminal barrister, entrapment is not a criminal offence, and can be used as a defence in only very very limited circumstances, thanks, ironically to the ECHR judgement in the case of Teixera.
