No.10 fury as Rishi's doubts 'cause chaos' in the Tory party | Tim Montgomerie and Rachel Cunliffe 

Its not about Rishi, everyone is fed up with the entire party

It really is time to move on, the Tories are yesterday's people.

Even the sight of Rishi makes me cringe , he’s so totally clueless , needs a good lesson in humility and needs to stop grinning like an idiot and laughing , the mess he’s created is no laughing matter

The Tories are so self obsessed. Patel would be a disaster. They have no care for the wreckage of Brexit and the havoc they've inflicted on the country! No, it's ALL about how they can survive! They must go!

What has he done? Sweet FA. NHS, Schools, sewage …… Tories now believe saying something while doing nothing is enough.

Rishi asks "Why does nothing that I do move the dial" ? Simple - because nothing he says is what people want.

Debating which candidate is more credible between Patel and Braverman is really something... two awful candidates with a mountain of skeletons in the closet. No wonder the Tories can't run the country.

Yet Sunak says with a straight face and zero iota claiming that no one wants a GE yet the country is literally shouting out : “WE WANT A GE!!!”. So dunno what he’s hearing but I’m hearing and seeing a LOT of people crying out for a GE. He’s an embarrassment to this country and needs to exit take his rotten party with him.

The latest poll if still the same at the election leaves the Tories with 26 seats behind the Liberal democrats. The Tories can then choose who ever is left to close the lid on the political dustbin.

The Conservatives are great at blaming everyone else. When will they realise it is their fault?

How many lines has this guy done? 🤪

Another 14 minutes of pure tory propaganda by am extreme hard-right tory client propagandist.

When Priti Patel is a good leadership prospect, you know you're dealing with a garbage party.

Why can't Tim Mongomery sit still?

Not this egotistical Tory rot again? Tory FM and the Tory Psycodrama are treating the whole country with contempt.

No such thing as a Tory party after the election.

3 million kids in poverty

Food bank use is up 3000%

Priti Patel is not associated with recruiting 50,000 extra police - she is associated with bullying staff across several government departments and being the ‘worst home secretary in living memory’ who left Home Office morale in tatters

Rishi is like Will from the inbetweeners without the charm. He's just so annoyed that we can't see how brilliant he is 😅

7 million on hospital waiting lists

It seems no amount of lies can 'move the dial' . .

Truss is completely bonkers.

It's probably easier to list who has not put their name forward to be PM. It changes each day. Total joke!

Ask the people!!!!!!

Isn’t it scary that a man whose benefitted from an exceptional education…has massive financial wealth…needs to ask if he’s any good at his job…as a UK PM…is frankly horrifying! Please…all of you, tell him to call a GE now…or else resign…🤦‍♀️

I find it simply impossible to take anyone seriously who is cool with Kemi Badenoch being leader.

Is it me or does this guy seems coked out?

It would knot make any difference no matter how many times they change the leader it’s the hole dam lot of them 😊

The Tories including the ceeep being interviewed here make my flesh crawl!

The no bread let them eat cake .

250 people a month dieing in A&E

Tory outrage at the final pendulum swing to Labour is distressing. Instead of reflecting on the chain of events that have led to the public shift they instead turn on the leader of the party. It really is time for them to step aside.

There not just toast but burnt toast 😅

Rishi would still smile knowing the polls came in at 2% for his party .

This guy again. Really. Csn we have a change of commentator never mind the priminister

Life expectancy is falling

I love to think about Rishi drowning in self doubt he's never experienced before - in case he's reading this YES SUNAK, YOU ARE USELESS, YOU'RE GOOD AT DISASTER CAPITALISM - PROFITING FROM MISERY AND POVERTY - BUT U COULDN'T RUN A WHELK STALL ON A RAINY DAY PAL.

What a pantomime these chuckle heads present here.

I used to think Tim Montgomerie was a rare example of a decent conservative. Truth is all our useless political parties and leaders and Brexit have wrecked this country. Can we go back to the 1990's, start again, and then make sure Blair doesn't invade Iraq?

Enjoying Tim's cassandra dispatches. This administration is now in the doom loop phase. Reminds me of a failing business when the cleaners are let go and the gates to the premises are about to be padlocked.

What is this evil that i see before me

Tories full of ego and ambition but completely void of competence.

He's pants as a politician and as out of touch as they come.

Little Rishi hahahahaha lol ! He's like Stan Laurel. He hasn't got a clue !

The problem with Sunak is he is disassociated from what is affecting people in the UK. His wife is part of a massive financial dynasty. As problem after problem occurs the same mantra comes from Sunak, follow the Plan. Then there is the grift, contract after contract heads towards his wife’s Business interests. There is the reluctance to call the GE. It feels like we are in a dictatorship.

Rishi just resigned, he's going full time saying, "Your card has been accepted" at the Tescos checkout. He's not very good at that either though....

Absolutely right the Conservative needs a face that has not been associated with the past, otherwise Reform will prosper and could even replace the Conservative Party

I love how the presenters refer to the Tories as we. "We have to" "we will lose "

Hey Tim, what about this ...... I think the Tories are finished. They dont represent my values anymore .....im out! Thats what you SHOULD be saying!

GIVE US A GENRAL ELECTION NOW.

Maybe if he had a decent hard working cabinet, some things might get done. When he has someone any good he gets rid of them. Please please just go now, call an election.

14 years is just TOO LONG! It did feel quite fresh with Boris during the last election, but very quickly business as usual was apparent, so that is that

Why does nobody talk about the fact that they have an 80 seat majority and still haven’t got the will of the people done? Why doesn’t anybody talk about the fact that the Conservative party is full of liberals and not true Conservatives? Why doesn’t nobody talk about that the MP, are the issue because they come from ideologies?

Can it please stop! People want a change, the current government is spent. The sooner we have a General Election the better for the UK

UK needs someone that can support Ukraine to win, they need to send what Ukraine needs now!

Are the Tories deliberately trying to lose as many seats as possible, so they can start as a new party ?

Who is this guy rocking himself backwards & forwards. Worrying.

What Rachel said - there is a 14 year legacy. I don't think anyone would do better in this situation. Sunak was just the last hope and now they're in the bunker.

What are the Tories going to put forward as a manifesto ? More of the same ? It does nt matter if all the Tory MP s lose their seats- the Tory party sand s for what ?

Am I the only one wondering if Tim Montgomerie is OK? Unless he has a neurological issue his body language is incredibly disturbing, it says he more than doesn't believe a word he says. It says he is selling a product that he fundamentally doesn't believe in, that he's about to become redundant and unemployed.

Why are you all doing this too him ?

He looks like a drip, he talks like a drip. He's well out of his depth. Reform for me.

Here is an idea.... Report the bloody news for once

Because NOBODY voted for 🤣

The Tories are simply facing the fury of the British people for having been dragged, kicking and screaming, out of the European Union. They will be held responsible for this catastrophe until they change their policies and advocate for the UK to apply to re-join.

'He's a proper grown-up' - The absolute state of the Torry party 🤣

The problem with the Tories is whatever they do society becomes worse off. The exception was the pandemic and only because they were forced into doing the right thing

What would cunliffe know about what’s going on in number ten

I don’t normally comment on appearances, but I really think Tim Montgomerie should stick to voice only radio. What he is saying is interesting (even though I don’t agree with most of it) but he manages to look completely insane

RISHI he's king midas in reverse

Take a step back, you’re looking at the detail, the issue is our political system is no longer fit for purpose and is full of low calibre individuals. We need to disband political parties and vote for individuals that represent their local area and that do not get hijacked by, a party and its own interests.

Vote Reform

Blathering on about something that doesn't matter to avoid the actual issue of who is pro/anti brexit. Suggesting that this is anything else is BS.

No one will touch Tories for over a decade. What the Tories morph into will be further right wing than Ghengiz Khan

I think when your a multimillionaire with not a finacial care in the world, yet huge numbers are in fuel, food, housing poverty, you have to recognise the missery and desperation people are in. Heat or eat? Struggling or give up. He has no idea how "ordinary" people have to l8ve their l8ves and cope.

No one votes for poverty

*I LOVE THESE GUYS* talking as if there is going to be a tory party after the election - HAHAHAH - so cute, so delusional.

Probably not the first to comment on this, but what's with the Cyberman headphones ? It's obvious these guys are weearing them on purpose just to attract comments from peeps like me 😁

Is it just me or does Tim seem overly animated and slurring here? I welcome correction or if he's a medical ailment apologies for any insinuation.

Dougie Smith the source?

The Conservative Party will be decimated but right wing vested interests will still be well served by Labour, who don't care about working people.

this, when looked at calmly, is more talk skirting the basics and bringing up recent history that does what? the man is in a trap,up a tree with a hungry whatever waiting for him to make the decision that is the absolute right one and be castrated, a fate worse than castigated or make the bad decision and suffer the same fate, This should have been Boris's fate ,he acted the prince, lucky him !

Sadly, Rishi has proven to be like Starmer and Piers Morgan... afflicted with 'sailing dinghy' syndrome. Unwilling to ride out squalls and storms, they turn their craft at the slightest popularity and opinion poll breeze.

Just wondering , no judgment - but does Tim Montgomery have Parkinson’s?

Times Radio has paid Tim Montgomery’s mortgage off in the last fortnight

For me, it’s obvious: Sunak was seen as a good man, trustworthy, a safe pair of hands. And I think he is. But he has proven to be weak, an appeaser, who has given in to the factions on the extreme right, and they are using his weakness to push for policies he would personally oppose - such as Rwanda. But he can’t oppose them because that would unite all those factions against him and he would be forced out. All the time those factions believe they can manipulate him, he is safe. And he knows it. So as a leader he is flawed, and the electorate sense it and don’t want to vote for him or his Party. So the same flaw that improves his chances of staying on as leader also minimizes his chance of being re-elected.

Come on kier we are all waiting for you!

Reform UK

He's an accountant...how on earth did he end up in No.10? Oh, I know, another central office "safe pair of hands".

The Tory party is so divided that uniting them is not only impossible but counter productive. The Tories have to break up and a decision made on what the party is going to be. At present Reform seems to be more like a Conservative Party than this government who are more left wing than some previous Labour parties. To start with a common view on Europe, immigration and woke is essential if there is any hope of unity.

He shouldn’t need to ask! This country has been finally destroyed by the 2 major, traditional parties over the last few decades. The only sensible option is to vote REFORM UK. I just cannot understand why they are not wiping the floor with all the other parties as they are the only party with a very clear strategy as to how they would address all the major issues now facing our once great nation.

There's a whole lot of "This or that person could be a good leader because they said they'd do..." That's the point they don't get. We know what they said. We know they all either did nothing, or voted in favour of it since they're all too busy trying to feather their nests before the gig is up to actually even pretend to do their jobs.

IF Covid did not happen Boris would still be the PM and well ahead of Labour

The Tories must go? But what's the alternative? Even Labour counselors are deserting their party on account of their exasperation with Kier's dithering. And Kier wants to run a country ...

Vote Conservative

Tim Montgomerie won't have much to talk about after the Tories get wiped out. But Starmer is a Tory so maybe he can get a job there...
