Here's a couple of Braverman supporters preaching to the media about how the Big Issue in the country is The Elite oppressing honest, ordinary people.
https://twitter.com/implausibleblog/status/1724528481273299359
Danny Kruger is the son of a property developer and was educated at Eton and Oxford.
Miriam Cates is the daughter of a GP and was educated at Cambridge.
They use the word "Elite" like Braverman uses the word "Woke". It doesn't have any meaning other than to rile up the angry and ill-informed people they want to keep angry and ill-informed.
When the Tories get annihilated next year, here's going to be a hurricane of this sort of shit coming from the people on the Far Right. People who genuinely ARE from "The Elite" sections of our society. Because they have nothing at all to offer anyone, other than division, hatred of The Other and the resulting Culture War.
Buckle up. It's going to be rough.

It has no future unless it changes, massively. They are now in the same situation as Labour pre SKS.

Do you mean there are going to be a lot of bad losers stirring the shit relentlessly by objecting to everything the government says and does?
-
Only if it operates as the current bunch of t***s do aye?

Apparently Team Braverman was going to plot a rebellion if the Rwanda plan was defeated in the courts, to try and force Sunak into leaving the ECHR. The Rwanda plan has just been thrown out, so that hurricane might be starting sooner than expected.

No BB. I'm not saying that. I assume you are able to read?
-
Talking about the future of the Tory party, I see 30p Lee [1] has today said the Govt should ignore the Supreme Court ruling and send asylum seekers to Rwanda anyway.
Just read that again.
That's a senior politician (yeah...I know...) publicly saying that the Govt should ignore the law of the country and do what it wants to do anyway.
You don't need me to tell you where that path leads.
[1] In fairness, he can't be called "Elite" in any sense, other than the amount he gets paid by GB News for his gobshitery.
-
And No 10 press says he is reflecting the views of his constituents, that'll be his right wing white supremacy pals then

No, there are going to be a lot of bad losers stirring the shit relentlessly by objecting to everything their own party says and does. Do keep up.

Reading's not usually a problem, thanks Billy Boy, so in that respect, you assume right (for once). I do however have a good perception of future projections as long as I remain neutral and don't allow bias or wishful thinking to corrupt my prognostications. I know this from experience and can use my failings in the PvO as a perfect example, which as a result, makes me rubbish at it.
I suspect that you have similar problems with your political decision-making when comparing the views of your beloved, infallible Labour Party with those of the Conservative Party which you detest, and is always wrong because that is the default state of your mind.
I never thought I'd say this about that drip Starmer, but I really, REALLY can't wait for him to take over, just so I can witness you, and your disciples squirm as you attempt to defend him and his bunch of wet wipes.
-
You're not really grown up enough for grown up discussions are you BB?
-
I don't actually think the Labour Party are the biggest danger to the future of the Conservative Party , well how could they be ?.
The biggest threat is Reform UK in my opinion in much the same way Farage and UKIP was a decade ago .
They are a party who can take an enormous amount of votes off the Tories and giving Labour or The Dems a walk in with the vote split in many constituencies .
If a game of who can be more right wing breaks out then the Tories are in real bother .
Only a move back towards the centre can make them a threat to Labour which to be honest wouldn't be that difficult .
Labour are going to perform horrendously if they win the next election .
The vast majority of voters only want rid of the Tories as they are now and not many are invested in Keith .
Keith winning a hollow election with an electorate not really on-board as they were with Blair spells trouble and one term in government .
The Tories only have to drain the swamp and move towards the centre and the Labour luvies are gone for another decade .

Being blindsided to where they originated from.

Then you can make a fortune betting against them. 4/1 against there being an overall majority after the election.
Personally, I will be surprised if Labour has less than a 100 seat majority.
Not because Labour is making the running. They aren't. Opposition's rarely do.
It's because the Tories are tailspinning into the sort of absolute cluster f**k that you only see once every generation or so. Where a major party tears itself apart AND looks utterly inept on the day to day stuff as well.
It's happened four times before in the past century or so.
The Liberals after WWI, who were split between the Asquith and Lloyd George factions and led the country into a horrific recession.
The Labour party in 1931, when the leader and PM Ramsay MacDonald joined the Tory party.
Labour in the late 70s, that tore itself apart between the Bennites and the centrists over Europe.
The Tories under Major that went into civil war over Europe, had the disaster of Black Wednesday and Sleaze and couldn't come up with anything better than the cones hotline.
Each time, that party was out of power for at least a decade. And I'm not sure any of them were quite as split and incompetent as this bunch.
All an Opposition has to do in those circumstances is to look organised and professional.
-
Labour had a 20 point lead in the polls (I kept reading about it on here) a few months ago but despite all the things that the government has got wrong since that came to light, the lead hasn’t changed much at all.
I wonder why that is?

The lead might increase from tonight Hound because the awful Jess Phillips has just done one following the ceasefire vote .

The level to which both leaders can balance the wings of their party is fascinating. Intrigued to see how both get on. It will be more challenging for both as election approaches and policies are committed.

My two bob on last night.
Starmer isn't a particularly skillful leader and he runs a party with a wide range of views. Last night was an indication of the limits of how far he can control and shepherd his MPs.
He made it an issue of party discipline and that was probably a mistake, when many people see it as an issue of conscience. Those who voted against him sent a loud message that there's a line over which they won't be dragged.
He's obviously wounded by a rebellion on that scale. He's had to lose the front benchers that voted against him. That's a major blow. The others are backbenchers who he can't "sack" but they are giving a loud message about the limits of his authority.
Will it affect Labour's ability to win next year? Depends on whether it turns into all out civil war in the Labour party. I doubt it will, but it might.
It will certainly give Starmer pause for thought about the need to better accommodate the different voices in the party if they do form the Govt next year.

This is a fair analysis tbh. I do wonder whether this will encourage him to ditch or at least leash Mandelson, architect of the "they have nowhere else to go" approach to Muslim and left-wing voters.

Makes no sense to me why you would try and exercise your authority on a pretty meaningless vote .
It's not like the Israelis are going to be swayed by it is it ?
Now it's a fairly big deal and it needn't have happened .

I agree this is a fair analysis of Starmer’s incompetency.
What I wonder, however, is why we don’t, for the sake of balanced debate, hear fair analysis from Billy regarding the current government’s incompetencies.

Sydney. How do I get rid of a boomerang?

I disagree with the analysis criticising Keir Starmer on this issue.
I believe he has shown strength of leadership in sticking to his guns rather than weakly giving in to allow a split at Labour's top table to appear.
In at least 15 months Labour will almost certainly be in power.
Members of Starmer's Caninet will then under collective responsibility have to tow the line on all Labour policy including difficult areas of foreign policy.
He gave the rebels the opportunity to abstain and keep their posts. Which would have enabled them to clearly show their position whilst not defying the party's policy.
They refused. Best to rid his team of such individuals now rather than having to do so when in Government.

That's a fair analysis. Plus, he's likely to have a LOT of fresh, new MPs after the Election, and the balance of the Labour MPs will be much closer to the centre than it is now. That will give him a firmer hold over Parliament and he won't need those further to the Left as much.
I'm not saying I like that outcome. Our democracy puts WAY too much power in the hands of a PM with a compliant Commons majority. It's really not healthy or democratic. But I suspect that's what we are going to get.

Short term rather than long term future. Following the right wing racist populist victorys in Argentina and Netherlands, I can see the Torys heading further down that road than they currently are in the election run up.
Not sure Rishi is the one for that, maybe a few more nutters behind him with more charisma than the failed Cruella. The recent immigration figures will no doubt be forming the key issue.

Nett immigration into the UK up by 250,000 according to figures out today.

Cleverly getting sacked for calling Stockton a shithole 2 weeks into the job, after Braverman spent a whole year ranting like a psychopath in a desperate effort to get sacked, is the funniest possible outcome here.
