I think conspiracy theorists have a problem with the idea that things happen which we cannot control, that life can be random and that bad things happen to good people. It’s a way to feel that the world is more controlled and less random than it really is.

Could your partner also carry on watching Slow Horses on a laptop, tablet or phone wherever they are? Then neither of you have to wait. 😉

Teachers showering together? Sounds like The Telegraph columnists have been watching some 1970s porn.

At the heart of Conservatism is a dismissal of any form of collective responsibility. They reject the notion that a responsible society looks out for weaker members. It’s a philosophy of “I’m alright Jack” that relies on discrediting any group that might justifiably expect extra support.

How I arrived on Bluesky.

No but it highlighted an underlying problem.

I know 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I did say “let’s hope” 😩

Let’s hope the electorate is inoculated against their nonsense by the last 14 years of total, unrelenting incompetence.

If Cleverly wins, it will be interesting to see how he holds the party together in the face of people like Badenoch and Jenrick trying to pull it further rightwards. Does he have the strength or support to deal with them?

Someone needs to explain to Badenoch how elections work!

I agree. And it’s very telling that he’s their best candidate simply because he’s the least offensive and most “normal”!

When Cleverly is the most reasonable and measured candidate on offer to the Tory Party, but still unlikely to win, you have to consider they are completely lost.

75% know Farage would be a worse PM than any of his rivals, including Liz Truss.

I take it that’s parody???!

"Tax comes from people who are working, we're taking from one group of people and giving to another. This, in my view, is excessive.” …… erm…… isn’t that the point of tax?

It’s spent on roads, education, pensions, healthcare etc.

Does she think tax should only go into her mates’ pockets?!

Badenoch seems to want a ban on Muslims coming to the UK and an erosion of women’s rights …..all very Trumpian.

"For fear of being labelled xenophobic." 🤔

Reminded me of this.
"I dislike the word xenophobic. It's a Greek word, and I detest Greeks."
