    Good old Kemi (remember her?) trying desperately to stay relevant… by dragging the Tories even further to the right.

    True One-nation Conservatives must be at their wits’ end.

    I honestly think that there is room for a ‘One Nation’ Tory party and that it would do reasonably well. Obviously it’s not going to happen because they were all kicked out and Badenoch is making the same mistake as Labour in thinking that you fend off Reform by copying them. It’s infuriating.

    I see she is partaking in more fake outrage about Churchill being taken off banknotes. He’s been on there for less than a decade and let’s just ignore the fact that banknotes frequently get redesigned for security reasons amongst others.

    No substance, just culture wars nonsense.

    There’s a fledgling group of ‘one nation’ types launched earlier this year by Ruth Davidson called Prosper UK

    He has no chance whatsoever. London will turn Green before it turns Tory; in fact, Notso’s advisors should be sacked for this. Taking on Labour in London is political suicide: this could kill Cleverly’s career.

    Maybe he’s only doing it so that he can defect to Restore afterwards (Reform will be toast by then).

    this could kill Cleverly’s career

    He has a career left to kill?

    Had to laugh at the description of him in the Guardian article on this as a ‘Tory heavyweight’. Technically correct I suppose, it’s all relative.

    Always reminded me of Homer Simpson (the real one). Before he grew his beard he always had a five o’clock shadow a bit like Homer.

    Obviously Homer is a lot more intelligent though.

    “He has a career left to kill?”

    He was actually favourite to become the next leader of the Conservative Party, although his odds have mysteriously lengthened since this announcement.

    Had to laugh at Kemi saying that Burnham is trying to drag the country back into the 70s , all the Tories are missing are shoulder pads , SID , and a golf gti ….

    That’s the point I’m making , the Tories are still selling Maggie’s idealism …

    Just caught up with today’s PMQs. Burnham made Kemi look a complete idiot, not that that’s particularly difficult.

    When I saw the Tory ‘reshuffle’ all I could think to most of them was ‘who?’. I’ve only heard of a couple of them because they are relatively local MPs. How far they have sunk in such a short time.

    Depending what happens with Reform/Restore I still think there’s a chance they could be the biggest right wing party at the next election but the days of a majority are long gone.

    More desperate unworkable rubbish from ‘Kemi’. How would this prepaid card block a supermarket transaction that contained alcohol but not one that didn’t? Not that it would make a difference even if it could.

    And then the Tories’ record is criticised by Jenrick, beyond parody.
