Neigel Farage is a back bencher who will need to be called upon by the Speaker in order to ask Kier Starmer any questions. How often does anyone think that Farage will show up at Parliament to sit on the back benches in the hopes that he is called on to ask one question from time-to-time?

Babe wake up, TLDR news have a new set.
Leadership elections don't automatically have to cause damaging in fighting. It's just that the Tories have forgotten how to do any campaigning which doesn't involve attacking their rivals. Best I can guess is it's going to end up being Badenoch or Tugendhat. Don't see any of the right wing MPs beating Badenoch given how much more competent she has been than them, and Tugendhat could get the support purely by being a centrist if they are wise enough to remember that you only ever win elections from the centre in the UK. Probably the biggest thing in each of their favour is I don't think either have particularly been in any scandals - a rare thing for a Tory MP nowadays.
Reform will get one PMQ every 4 weeks - if they are lucky. They are a small party.

Ahhh... History repeating itself is glorious! What's happening to the Conservatives is shockingly similar to what happened to the Liberal Democrats (Then just the Liberals) back in the early 20th century when the party ate itself alive. Labor wasn't always the other biggest party in U.K politics, it was actually the Liberals, but they started fighting amongst themselves over new liberalism or old Gladstonian liberalism as the direction for the party, with the new liberals eventually just defecting to labor, the last liberal government ended in 1915 and they've never really recovered. Here's hoping the Tories DON'T learn from the lessons of the past.

Why was Sunaks missus wearing a bedsheet?
Doing the worst ever and being 5 years from the next election is the exact time to do a more involved leadership race. Introspection is needed. But they seem to want to avoid that. Although their whole system sounds weird. And after something like this, the requirement to go through MPs and being an MP seems to set it up for an extremist dince more moderates probably lost their seats.

Strategically, a party to the right of the Conservatives presents more problems. Without Reform, the Tories can compete for the centre ground without needing to worry too much about the right wing of the party (other than trying to get them to turn out on election day). With Reform, it becomes extremally difficult to craft policies that appeal to all potential Tory voters. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that the Conservatives can't get back into government while Reform exists as a significant minor party.
