'We behaved like clowns' Actually you behaved much, much worse than that. Your Tory party, for which I had previously voted for the whole of my life, behaved for 14 years with arrogance, contempt, heartlessness and dishonesty towards the British people and our beloved country. You have taken a wrecking ball to almost every aspect of our life in the UK and trashed any shred of honesty, competence and trustworthiness the Tory party ever had. You deserve to be out of power for 2 full terms at a bare minimum. In fact your lousy, rotten party, riven by infighting may never be forgiven, ever. Over the last dismal 14 years it became ever more transparently clear that you put Party above Country at every turn which is unconscionable and disgraceful.

I think Baker's bemusement towards Suella Braverman's speech ties in with what you say about the Tory's dishonesty. In case he's still wondering, her audience is the voting public and Tory party members who will understand exactly where she's coming from. Baker seems to prefer the ploy of keeping people in the dark until after the candidate is elected so that policies contrary to what people thought they voted for can be inflicted. In other words, he wants to continue with government by sleight of hand.

I do not believe his assessment of officials in the civil service. He is either being disingenuous or the kind of experience he has had with them does not mirror that of someone, for example, like myself, who, after the death of his father, had to wait seven months for grant of probate from a HMCTS official, no doubt shirking from home, who did not even open my application until over 5 months after it was delivered, something admitted in writing without shame or apology. Mr. Baker's whole tone was to suggest that he would have had the answers to all the Tories' problems. My reaction to this interview?

If he was a bar of chocolate he'd eat himself

If he ‘knows how it's done’ - then why was he handed his backside?

The Windsor Framework was, and is, an absolute disaster. Getting rousted with a "nothing to do with me, guv" attitude is delusion.

I liked Steve a lot during the Brexit debacle. This interview rang a little hollow tho. Ego stroking exercise. Let’s go Nigel and Reform! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

The same for me - I had some time for him during the Brexit fight - but when he was supposedly going to oppose lockdowns - he didn't - he gave rather half baked attempts - and ultimately showed true colours then - no integrity what so ever.

David Davis should have been elected leader of the Conservative party when Cameron won. He is the person we need now

He hasn't got a clue.

What talent do you have to have to be a politician and name one politician who has talent and why

"Half my voter's stayed at home". Prat.

Exactly. 'His voters!!' Whichever constituency we live in, we are no politician's or political party's voters, they all need to remember that. I wanted to ensure the Tories didn't get back in in my area, so I voted tactically and got the result I wanted.

Poor guy. It’s everyone else’s fault and nothing to do with him.

He needs to go out and get a real job. Btw, I think 8 years is all the time should be able to serve in any elected office. That means a total of eight years no matter how many offices you're elected to.

Hilarious, isn't he supposed to be sky diving. Another irrelevant Tory

I’m in Australia and I can see from 10,000 miles away that the Tories lost because their policies no longer aligned with traditional Conservative values and Reform UK have adopted Thatcherite principles which earned them them votes that in the past would have gone to the Tories. They’ve lost sight of why they were once seen as the governing party and put power ahead of serving the country. Bakers assertions around why voters stayed at home or defected just reinforce how out of touch the Tories have become and how little respect they’ve shown their constituents. It’s going to be a cold 10 years.🇬🇧🇦🇺

He has no understanding that 30 years of activity is not the same as 30 years of leadership. As the interview went on it became increasingly obvious that he understands nothing of leadership.

Partridge-esque

I've historically liked Steve in parliament, but it's galling to hear him say he can't wait for Reform MPs to get to parliament and realise how little their five seats mean. Comparing them to Plaid Cymru is a nonsense, since they got more than twenty times the vote - and at a time when PC are benefitting from a Welsh electorate that is understandably angry at both the Conservative and Labour party for the hash they've made of Westminster and Senedd governance respectively. Hearing Steve dismiss the 14.3% of voters who came out during an historically low turnout election to register their vote makes me nothing but glad that he's nowhere near the House of COMMONS.

Not the most sensitive observation in the circumstances.

High Wycombe is very close to Slough where David Brent originates from

To think I once believe that Steve Baker might be one of the good guys. Some time ago I decided he wasn't. My opinion of him hasn't changed listening to him here.

They haven't been acting like clowns, they have been acting like criminals and should be locked up!!
