I’m not sure they do. Not this Tory party.
Badenoch may be winning back a few Tory voters from Reform but she isn’t attracting anyone else.
She’s a liability, often disgraceful, arrogant, ignorant, nasty.
The party brought us austerity, Brexit and a Covid horrorshow.
Unforgivable. Unelectable.

I don’t know whether Badenoch ever had a brain to fry… but if she did, she’s fried it. On X. She’s a joke.
Unprofessional. Bitchy. Idiotic. How very very very low the Tory party has sunk. Embarrassing.

Jenrick will fake-outrage himself into an aneurysm at this rate. He needs to step away from the stage and go and have a long think about how 14yrs of Tory austerity, Brexit and pisstaking irresponsibility led to this gigantic back catalogue of failure.
(And the BBC would do well to point that out)

A thug singles out the vulnerable to make him feel better about himself. He punches down because that makes him feel like he’s a success. Reform is a club for the socially inadequate. Always accusing and whining. Never helping.

Stop talking the pm and the government down

The task is to get the government to focus on delivery - increasingly good signs there - and to stand up for progressive values - a work in progress. Conspiring about leadership changes is a waste of time.

I think Jenrick is worse than any of the flag-shaggers - he knows how fucking awful what he's saying is, but he doesn't care, because he wants to further his career. He and Farage are the truly toxic ones, no scruples whatsoever and they need to be repeatedly and publicly called out.
