[Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

Entirely unsure what her brother has to do with anything? As if that somehow makes her a less credible candidate just by association.

Bizarre thing to reference, IMO.
Would the Tory members vote for her? Many still hold strange moralistic views.

Protesters who wear masks could face arrest, up to a month in jail and a £1,000 fine under proposed measures that human rights campaigners claim are pandering to “culture war nonsense”.

Police in England and Wales will be given the power to arrest people if they are wearing face coverings at specific demonstrations, the Home Office has said.

Takes a brave Tory MP to stand up against the mob who have taken control of their historic party.


Reading some of the comments in that Twitter post is depressing, especially the one about the kid being taunted on a school bus. Words have consequences.

She's in an interesting position. There was a poll out this week that stated she was the only senior Tory with a positive net approval rating (it was just 2%, but that was enough). Some of her competitors for leader had an appalling rating, I think Braveman was -60% (or something). There have been reports from political reporters that Mordaunt is the only leader that the Labour party fears, yet the indications are that she has little chance of being elected leader and if they replace Sunak, they'll replace him with someone even less popular.

That's worse than Labour choosing Corbyn. At least, he brought a new constituency into play, as Corbyn attracted students, who normally shun elections. I don't see what streams of uncommitted voters Braveman or Badenoch will bring to the party.

Can someone explain Sunak’s jibe about trans people to me? The 99% thing?

I don’t get it.

An Italian man has been removed from the UK despite holding a Home Office certificate explicitly stating he has a right to travel in and out of the country while officials process his application to live and work in the country post-Brexit.

Massimiliano Melargo, 27, told how he was detained overnight, separated from his Ukrainian partner, and put on the first plane to Venice by Border Force officials in a step lawyers say contravenes the withdrawal agreement between the EU and the UK.

Meanwhile a handful of Council's could bump up their council tax by 10%....
Central government have cut back on its contribution to local councils, hoping that many go bankrupt allowing them to land grab for SEZs.

So Labour dumps the £28bn eco pledge - the one policy anyone has ever heard of - and there’s not a peep from the Starmer fan boys on this thread.. funny that

You’ll want the Starmer thread. Not the Tory meltdown thread…..funny that.

Though I could put on here that he’s hasn’t “dumped” the pledges totally, as I first thought. He’s adjusted the budget to allow for the massive f*** up the Tory’s have made of the economy.
