    One of Liz Truss’s former colleagues made an excellent point. He said she could have saved her own seat if she hadn’t demonstrated so epically that she hadn’t learned a THING from her previous experience. Instead, she courted the far right in America and haunted Westminster, making Tufton Street loaded neo-liberal speeches about how she would double down on her agenda. Now she wonders why she’s out of her job?

    It´s quite interesting what happened in her seat. She lost votes to Reform for sure, i.e to the far right party. She also lost votes to an independent candidate, who was running as a more moderate Tory, and the Labour candidate increased his share of the vote just enough to boot her out. The Tories are kind of between a rock and a hard place atm, they have to either go further right and risk losing more moderate voters, or move closer to the centre and risk losing votes to Farage.

    @@valx7586 It does not. Many of this countries issues stem from the fact that both major parties have been kicking the can down the road for someone else to deal with later for decades. Someone will only pick that can up if there is no other choice. The NHS has needed major reform for thirty years, but no one will touch it because things will probably get worse before they get better. As a result no one will do anything until the NHS melts down and they HAVE to reform it from the bottom up... Thats just one example, though one thats close to all our hearts. I can't think of many Brits who would be willing to get rid of the NHS, but many of us realise it needs reform.... Labour is no different to the Tories in that respect, its just that they have had 14 years for many people to forget their screwups when they were in power. I very much doubt Labour would have handled the Pandemic any better than the Tories did for example. Oh they CLAIM they would have, but the fact is they would have been floundering just as much as the Tories did. And I still have not forgiven them for how they completely blocked and stymied the Brexit negotiations until it was almost too late. We came very close to having the worst possible exit because of their actions... Less said about Berstow the better. But then I have long believed the Speaker of the House should be a non political appointment to maintain neutrality... but thats by the by.

To be a criminal act it has to be an actual crime - e.g. a statute says "It shall be an offence to ...". The fact you think it is corrupt is not enough. So please cite the law which defines the offence you think was committed, and the facts that show that it was, and by whom (a family can't be a criminal).

    How is it possible that a Conservative Party Minister from the 1980s has the contract to count all the votes in all General Elections? If that isn't a conflict of interests I don't know what is. But these facts are brushed under the carpet because people don't want to believe that we live in a corrupt 3rd World country. Yet here we are. And don't kid yourself that Starmer will change anything - did anyone see the Telegraph's exposé of his corruption of the Labour Party voting systems (you can say what you like about Corbyn, but at least he was honest). The future isn't looking any brighter, it just looks like we're following the American model - two parties doing the same things just to kid you into thinking that you have a choice, but in reality there is literally nothing separating them other than name.

    And do you really think that a government that consists of approximately 50% barristers is going to pass any law that would criminalise their own activities? And their motivation for destroying the NHS (that even Margaret Thatcher thought was a step too far)? The majority of MPs over the last decade or two have been invested in private healthcare providers and/or private health insurance companies. It's in the lists of member's interests, it's literally iin the public record at this point yet it's still legal for them to vote on legislation that affects the NHS. Words fail me for how corrupt this country is, and it's not going to get better under Starmer believe me.

At viewing time, it holds an instant auction of your eyeballs in which the servers of the advertisers compete extremely quickly to buy X seconds of advert time based on what KZread knows about the current viewer. The winner gets their advert played. Most people didn’t see that advert. I got one for pizza ovens. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I suppose it was because he didn't have Nanny along to help, as he did when he first tried to campaign for the Tories in 1997 when as a 27-year-old Tory pup, he tried to campaign in Glenrothes and Leven, driving around in a Rolls Royce and with Nanny there to hold his hand. Naturally, he lost.

    They have been slyly attempting a 'Death of 1000 cuts' for the NHS. I also notice that Tory newspapers are constantly trying to sow fear and distrust in the NHS by banner-headlining anything negative about the NHS but never focusing on the millions they treat successfully every day, under very difficult circumstances. We simply cannot afford to let it be lost and end up with the kind of US type system that people like Daniel Hannan and Nigel Farage seem to advocate.

    The wait times graph was shown in a lot of the Labour advertising. It was very telling of the Tory neglect of the NHS. How many excess deaths before during and after the pandemic?

The Greens' successes are cases in point. No way that reformed chicken nuggets would have got a single extra vote. They have peaked, just about at the maximum neo-fascist vote obtained by UKIP and Brexit. Parties.

In days not too far distant it was Almost exclusively newspapers , made worse since most have been bought out by foreign billionaires, these men (they are & have been all men) are all about power & influence , add to this we had nearly 18 solid years of Tory governance, from 1979 & Thatcher coming in to 1997 & her successor with 7 years under his belt going out to Blair. The education during those awful years was dire, they ran our schools down, so much so in fact one of our masters in my Grammar school started up a tuck shop to buy books for we pupils as we had maybe one between 3 pupils, shocking. Where I'm going will this is, I had 2 very intelligent parents as were my mother's parents too ! I was brought up in a political household, was also taught about money and how a household should run , the education I received at school was the cherry on top. Many children didn't receive that level of understanding, they, sadly, got much of their knowledge from the likes of the Sun, subliminal messages were regularly placed on pages 2 or 3 , right next to the page 3 girls ! No wonder once they had families of their own they passed nothing of value on and, more often. negative information which we're seeing the 2nd and, sometimes, 3rd generation now who are clueless as to what politics are about other than to shout hard about jobs and houses being taken by 'illegal' immigrants (refugees to the more informed) Sadly, in the last 14 years this phenomena has gone from bad to worse !

    Tories deserted the business & middle class with IR35 reforms, the most un-conservative thing they have ever done, that and stealth taxes, could even be seen as a vendetta against small businesses. They never seemed to achieve anything when Boris left and Brexit is something we will all blame the conservatives for. I was a true blue but because I did not know what the conservatives stood for anymore found it hard to choose with the ballet paper in front of me. I knew they would lose at that point. Time to go on a spending spree with labour in charge which will be good for social services. Farage's success can be compared with the Boris factor, he has the ear of the working man and suspect the next election might see him in if he can get rid of his right wing racist image.
