General Election 2024

I see the headlines 'Nigel Farage's Reform UK overtakes Tories in yet another bombshell poll'

But it's hardly a surprise after all what has happened over the last few years of Tory mismanagement.
This betting scandal is the final straw, even for regular Tory voters.

Johnny mercer being a total bellend again

Claiming his opponent for his Plymouth seat is lying about his military service in the Royal marines knowing full well that some of it is Classified operations

Lowest of the low that, typical Tory behaviour, hopefully Plymouth do the right thing and rid themselves of him.

^The ones who have been there and done it don't shout it from the rooftops. The ones who are quick to call others a Walt are usually full of shit.

Not surprised. He's a nasty & unpleasant piece of work

Ah yes the classic definition that should be found in the dictionary for the word....... 'Tory'.

Great Tweet ive seen

Even uncle albert talks less about his service than Mercer does

The website that is perhaps most in tune with The Tory party & its members/base

Conservative Home: Our survey. Members back a Reform deal, and giving Farage the whip – but not shifting the campaign to the right

And this by the website's editor in The Critic Mag

The ghosts of Tory past, The Conservatives are haunted by the spirits of the last two decades

Be interesting to see how the polls look over the next week or so.
I can't help felling that Farage has shot himself in the foot with his Ukraine comments. He's picked up a lot of 'soft' support from people fed up with the tories but not quite ready yet to put a cross beside labour. I can see a good proportion of that soft support being unimpressed with his Ukraine views, and that could potentially lose him those votes.
Whether that support would then fall to labour, or back to the tories, or elsewhere, is anyones guess right now.
