As Tory MPs jostle for position, can the Conservative party survive even more psychodrama?
Subscribe on RU-vid: / @newstatesman
Rishi Sunak has said he will remain as leader until the process to elect his successor has been agreed. But with the 1922 committee in disarray, it’s unclear when the party may be able to stage a leadership election.
In the meantime, Conservative leadership hopefuls are positioning themselves. Suella Braverman has been making inflammatory speeches in Washington. Kemi Badenoch has been attacking Rishi Sunak at shadow cabinet meetings. And Rachel Cunliffe reports that David Davis sees himself as potential LOTO material.
Hannah Barnes is joined by Rachel Cunliffe and Freddie Hayward on the New Statesman podcast to discuss why the Tories can’t seem to quit in-fighting.

Blimey the conservatives have destroyed the country over the last fourteen years with a little help from the liberal Dems,and the new government is given 12 months . I don't see how the maths works out on that? Anyway they have done more in their first week then the previous lot done the whole time they were in power.

@WhichDoctor1 22 дня назад

the biggest electoral failure of the tories was making most people in the country poorer, making the services most people rely on catastrophically worse, allowing most towns and cities to fall into decline and neglect, and when people told them this was happening only replying with "the plan is working". Really, if they could have made peoples lives better and the country work with right wing policies then they wouldn't have been punished, if they'd done that by being more left wing then they wouldn't have been punished. What they need to do is take a look at the country, identify what is going wrong for people, and then work out what policies will actually fix those problems. Not what policies dark money funded thinktanks tell them will make the millionaires most happy. Or try to invent new none existent problems to distract people with. But actually look at what problems people actually care about and work out how to actually fix them. But they are the tories, so i suspect that such thinking will be beyond them

Braverman, Badenoch and Patel have seiously harmed my self esteem. As a man of colour, I worry that people might think we are all like them - incompetent, loud, abrasive and horrible human beings. We really are not. I sometimes wonder if selecting such people for key roles in the Conservative government was/is the Tory right wing's master plan against immigrants and immigration. Then I gain some comfort from thinking about Truss, Johnson and the like.

@KernowFishy 22 дня назад

@Simalacrum 22 дня назад

I feel like the reason why people of colour in the Conservative Party appear disproportionately cruel and self-centred is that it's only such people who sadly are able to overcome the racism inherent in the Conservative machine - they're caricatures of cruelty to demonstrate to the Tories that they're "one of them", despite not being white. I certainly don't attribute the behaviour of Braverman, Patel et al to the behaviour of people of colour as a whole - those people do a disservice to the vast majority of decent, normal people that all ethnic groups are comprised of.

@TheIdlesurfer 22 дня назад

I think we can all agree that the Conservatives thoroughly deserved to lose the General Election, and to lose it very, very badly indeed-at least, in terms of seats. As Johnson's government was in 2019, Labour is very much on trial-with a pitiful percentage vote, of barely one third of those who actually even bothered to vote, Labour has it all to do to convince the public that they can run an effective administration. Strange too how quiet those Labour voices for a PR voting system have become all of a sudden-I wonder why? With such a small percentage vote for the winners, maybe we should have a confirmatory General Election vote, just to make sure that a Labour majority of 170-odd seats is really the outcome we desire. I'm sure Keir Starmer would agree; he used to be very keen on the concept of confirmatory votes, from what I recall, or is this yet another of his seemingly never ending conversions on that old road to Damascus.
