Are the Tories Tearing Themselves Apart (Again)? 

Another reason why we need PR reforms. The tories (like Labour) are a mish-mash of different parties

The First Past the Post system is ultimately to blame. It forces many different political groupings & ideologies into the 2 main parties.

This sounds funny to a Finn. Finnish socialist party is led by a woman called Li Andersson 😅

Crazy how a monoparty results in vast incompetence almost every time but people still don't seem to know any better. Politicians won't work for you unless you force them to

You are tearing me apart Lisa!

As a Canadian, this is so déjà vu. While nothing is exactly the same, history seems to like themes. The Progressive Conservative Party (colloquially: the Tories) ruled from about '79 to '93 (there was a minority Liberal government in the middle briefly). After that, they imploded spectacularly from mismanagement of the economy and national debt. The replacement party, in the eyes of the public, was called the Reform Party. They were far right instead of centre right. They became the official opposition instead of the Tories. Later they rebranded as The Canadian Alliance. Later they moved a little more centre right, bought the trademark from the remnants of the PC party, and rebranded (again) as the Conservative Party (aka. the Tories). While the exact course may not follow, if Reform UK gets more seats than the Tories in the next election and then rebrands themselves as The British Alliance... this exists as record to prove to myself I'm not insane.

Must be so nice to be a channel like TLDR news with the Tories just supplying an endless amount of chaotic content

Liz, Boris and Theresa walks into a bar... Sunak takes the bar down so that he won't walk into it like they did.

To suspend Lee and not Suella after that is ridiculous 😂 They should both be gone

I think the better question is 'When are the Tories NOT tearing themselves apart?'

The tories are in a similar hole to Labour in the ‘80s, only way deeper. Rather than running a few councils, their fringe entryists are in cabinet, are far more ideologically blinkered and much less competent.

The amusing thing is our entire parliament ceased to function last week and all we seem to be talking about is Lee Anderson. Our country no longer works. Think about that for a second.

"there's a danger of getting into semantic" - the only one getting into semantics was Dowden

This is why PR is better, yes you will get more right wing nuts, but at least it becomes an honest representation of what people are for

"great party" Nothing even good about that bunch of crooks.

Sunak is weak

Its pretty obvious why the Tories aren’t united. As the ‘broad church’ they are they recognize they will lose badly and are out for themselves. Lee is saying what he thinks he needs to say in order to keep his voters with him at the election and knows they lap up this tripe. He doesnt care if it hurts Sunak as he knows he’ll be gone soon.

This is chickens coming home to roost. They elevated Anderson like a Frankenstein's monster and used him as a "usefull idiot" now they can't control him and he's calling the shots. When your enemy is making mistakes, do not intervene. [Bonaparte]

Crazy having watched the tories and gop here in the US go through this situation kinda simultaneously, with leadership falling at odds and/or trying to walk the line

3:32 surprisingly reflective; not "truth to power" exactly, but for lack of a better expression. If Rehman Chrishti were my MP, this would boost my likelihood to vote for him.

AS SOON AS JOHNSKI GOT IN YOU COULD SEE THIS HAPPEN A MILE OFF

Uh oh, last time there was in-fighting like this in the Tory party we left the EU...

The worst thing about Sunak losing is that he's going to accept losing while being a weak spined weasel instead of losing with some personal grace and confidence. I couldn't live with myself.

Love watching your videos, always informative and neutral, i think we all cant wait for these elections

Really good video that concisely explains the current situation. Good job folks👍

Their interests always come first, whilst the country and the people are suffering.

I wish you could understand the way-I felt when I blocked that Scot trans bill-Woah oh oh oh oh oh-When did I start-Tearing us apart-Tearing us apa-art?

It's amazing how they cover the Islamists in London making areas a no go on the weekend. Which apparently is causing death threats among Labour and Conservative MP's is now just a Conservative issue.

Yes they are and it’s great to see .

Would Sunak theoretically be able to actually split the party into two unique parties, with the expectation that they would support each other in a coalition ?

Just break these two big parties up to become 4 big parties. Far Left, Center-Left, Center-Right, Far Right. Bot the Tories & Labour are multiple parties into one & they end up not getting shit done cuz they get in their own way with in-fighting

This is all a consequence of the end of real debate in politics. We have a "I'm right, you're wrong, no debate needed." attitude, especially on the right. This attitude has spread from "My party is right, the others wrong" to factions within the party. Inevitably it will end in "I'm right, every one else is wrong".

I have had payday loans taken out in my name and paid into someone else's bank account. My details have to be published as a company director. Why the bank or police could just not look at the account where the money was paid is just insane, but they don't unless it's about a murder.

I hope so. Anything that’ll get these relics out of government as soon as possible.

Ah, the old Conservative mistake of saying the quiet part out loud. 😂

Hey mate, can you make a video on what went on with the speaker? I have no clue and the news just say he broke unwritten rules or something?

muh racism. Lol

They just keep digging themselves a bigger hole

god willing.

It would have been cool to recive a video on the election for the First Minister of Wales. Like you know, take advantage that their is a specific UK channel to speak of things outside Westminster?

You're tearing me apart Lisa!

If you get in bed with wolves and racists what did you think would happen

This division would have happened under Johnson or Truss. Perhaps for slightly different reasons but with the same force.

A majority party acting as two minority's

Please remove the phone ringing sounds from the ad read.

Even though I'm voting for Labour under Kier Starmer, the good thing about the rise of Reform is we get the right in its true form. The Conservative party is like a nutjob who's able to behave and appear sane by taking lots medication to manage their mental health disorder. Reform is what you get when they stop taking that medication.

Does anyone else think that Sunak may just throw in the white towel and resign before the election? Seriously, when was the last time the guy smiled? Dispite all his effort the tories just seem to be too fractured for him to possibly keep it together. Eventually he is going to have a breaking point, right?

Anyone getting the peoples front of Judea vibes with the constant infighting?

I like it when people mention your hometown, even in passing. 😊😊😊

Short answer: Yes Long answer: Definitely yes

Because fighting with themselves is a break from playing with themselves ! (their usual activity) LOL

Sunak should stop being pm

Oh No, we are the only ones who suffer when the Tories start fighting one another. Remember Brexit, wasn't that supposed to stop all this Tory infighting.

Mmmm i don't know what people say today is taking wrong. We live in a free country where we can think or express ourselves freely.

Thank you 30p Lee

I agree with Lee

I’m so sick of hearing about all these horrible people

do they really need a reason at this point? its force of habit

The Reform Party is like another party - the Monster Raving Loony Party.

It's not just the words. Its the thrust of what he was saying

30p Lee😂😂😂

"I do actually believe that the Islamists..." lol

Mark my words, this Brexit was madness, it will destroy this country

And we're not even talking about Truss sharing a platform with people who are cheering the demise of democracy and agreeing with Bannon that Stephen Yaxley-Lennon is a hero...

i didnt know the islamists have control of corn, of lundaun, and of storm as well

Yes, yes, they are.

Conservatives should consider reforming to proportional representation instead of the first past the post system even just to save themselves. Everywhere except Scotland the left is United behind Labour while the right wing vote is split between 2 parties and within the Conservative party there are 2 factions both trying to break out. If there was a system of proportional representation perhaps 2 or 3 or more right wing parties could gain a majority but right now it’s headed for a Labour supermajority

Plutocrats vs. Culture Warriors. Always fun to watch from the sidelines.

Support STV voting system for UK general election House of commons. UK general election in October England London Britain. Brilliant content. Spot on. Well said.

😂😂😂 london already gone longtime ago I believe

The more they tear themselves apart the worse they'll make it for themselves in an Election and amy real recovery

Problem with trying to straddle a fence is that one's testicles are in a vulnerable location!

Election after election, the Tories reckoned they were strong and stable, the Tories reckoned the opposition were a coalition of chaos. What do voters reckon? Has the penny dropped yet?

Coming from an American, this is odd. At lesst where I live, that would hardly cause a blip in the media (depending on the level of who said that, of course). Islamophobia is still incredibly widespread and accepted in America, at least from what I have seen.

Signaling someone, specially a political rival, just on grounds of ethnicity, religious or cultural background seems awful. Criticize him for his actions or words, not for his origins. I'm not British but I doubt Khan, as a Labour politician, is exactly an islamist/yihadist... That is different however from critizicing a religion and the perverse influence it may have on society, specially if it's backwards thibking and denies the rights of a good part of its citizens. Very different topics.

Everyone makes the note about FPTP causing big tent parties. And that is true. But it’s also clearly Sunak’s lack of leadership overall. Say what you want about any of his predecessors since Cameron. But they all fell on one side, One Nation or far on the right. Sunak has been consistently trying to play both sides. And when you half-ass where you stand it all goes to hell.

I think there's 2 issues crippling the tories atm, coming from an outsider, using my perspective of politics both here in Aus and abroad, and just the general shifts in politics world-wide the first, and this is not in Aus, but in the US and UK it's crippling both, FPTP voting system, come on guys, we're in the 21st century now, wake up and use Preferential, it's a lot more flexible, and allows people to align with parties that align with their politics a lot better, this is both for voters and pollies, it also allows people to vote for smaller parties/candidates without "wasting their vote" the second, and this I've felt here in Australia, badly in the US, and in this Tory implosion, the far right know their days are numbered, so they wanna hold onto power and make decisions for as long as possible, and try to drag enough people from centrist views to the right, they know their days are numbered because look at worldwide voting positions, the right drops off a cliff when you go under about 30, 35, the far right off a bigger cliff, the Liberal/National coalition in Australia is being dragged further right, the Tories in the UK, the Republicans in the US, I'm sure if I looked into other nations similar stories can be found, whilst maybe I'm not bang on the cause, I still think it's a reasonable enough theory, these old, far right people doing their damage whilst they're still in power before the younger generation finally takes over for countries like Australia with PF, I think it's being felt even harder because they know how numbered their days are, it's looking like here that give it 4-5 more election cycles and the Coalition will be the third party and the two duking it out will be the Centre-Left labor and the Left-wing Greens party, the political landscape is changing and I do think these right-wing parties know it, and that fear may be driving these further right sections of all of them

British political party "try not to disintegrate for 5 minutes" challenge (impossible)

2:37 *Enoch Powell has entered the chat *

Omg the Tories are so right wing it’s actually comical

Unacceptable? Said by an unelected

Is this not a good signal? Maybe this is a sign that more parties are appearing?

Fiddling while the world burns

Conservatives desperately trying to hold on to the many many racist votes in this country, it's what this is all about😂😂

The clip of Oliver Dowden was painful to watch. No one should have to strain themselves so hard to accomplish such unreasonable mental gymnastics.

They should just tell the truth which is that "Islamophobia" is a pretend term made up by fascists to prevent criticism of radical Islamist extremists, in other words a back-door blasphemy law which only applies to one specific religion.

yes and its great.There may not be a conservative party soon.I am so happy.

It seems rational to me, if you think that your party is going to lose anyway, and you're mainly self-interested, to plan for your future in opposition rather than to try futilely to help your party win.

Just a note about your incogni ad read. The way you're segwaying into it kind of makes it sound like that by watching your videos, specifically, we're risking our data. It just doesn't sound great and isn't a great endorsement of your content. You might want to consider rephrasing that ad read.

Are the Tories Tearing Themselves Apart? Yes, but sadly, only metaphorically.

Persia turned Iran, Gandhar became Afghanistan, Constantinople became Istanbul be ready for Gazwa-E-England. Rather whole Europe apart from Poland

The number of videos on this channel that primarily focus on how the conservatives are doing poorly and are essentially terrible, while claiming to be neutral is pretty confusing for me 🤔

I remember when Suella Braverman was sacked, I thought she made some interesting points: that police were looking the other way at the violence during the Palestine protests. But Sunak replaced her with Cameron, a guy no one likes.

Labour does not need to offer anything of substance this election… Conservatives will loose on their own… And conservatives being more concerned with who says what instead who does what is all you need to know about their failures. They look like USA liberals at this point…

the 2 main party are Tearing Themselves Apart in labour it's the israel and palestine war and the trans issue, telling us what the difference in between men and women, as for the tories no one wanted to see Rishi Sunak he was elected by them and not the british public,

I love it whenever the Conservative Party pulls itself apart.

I wonder if they'll sack sunak b4 the election 😅

politics and derailed public using racism and phobic expression so lightly that it lost its meaning. just because you dont like what someone says it is not necessarily any of those.

How is criticizing a religion ‘racist’???

Great piece but there is no heart on the con party.
