The batshittery continues as the Conservatives decide what sort of party they want to be as they investigate Alan Duncan for his remarks that many of the Cabinet are extreme on Israel. He asked for Braverman to be investigated!

Literally the whole of the Conservative Party is splitting before our eyes. One part is pro leaving the ECHR and defying international law perhaps with immigration policy and supports the Israeli government who have been accused of breaching international law too, with a Foreign Secretary that is supposed to hold Israel to account for its actions in Gaza.

They are over. Sunak has no power at all.

Yes but how marvellous that Brexit sorted all the internal problems for the Tories.

That's all right though. He's only Foreign Secretary and the conflict is not really one of the most important issues of the last century.

At least he can be questioned in the Commons

oh wait.......

@AdamRyan with my relative being caught up in this rubbish, I've spent more time than I would like tracking back sources, money and peoples histories to debunk shit. Be very careful to step away at times for your sanity.

Thank you. I think I need to.

Well quite. Also the ministers are only in charge of pot plants don't forget, and not any actual involvement in UK domestic or international politics.

THREAD🧵: With so many leadership changes and policy u-turns, it is hard to keep track of the promises on which the Conservatives were elected to gov't in 2019.

I have had a detailed look back at their 2019 manifesto. ~AA 1/

@DuncinToffee no surprise there.

Yes it’s definitely the people talking it down and not people experiencing life here that’s the problem guys.

That's awful. It looks like something Blue Peter used to do on their programmes back in the 1970s. Sticky back plastic and all that. (Apologies to younger folk who might not have a clue what I'm talking about).

Also, is that the England team representing the whole of UK???

Piggywaspushed · 04/04/2024 18:24

Is someone trolling the Tories from within??? It's the only possible answer.

Piggywaspushed · 04/04/2024 18:26

I wonder how many of the 'Britain' football team

a) want to be 'second best'
b) want to be on a Tory poster.

RafaistheKingofClay · 04/04/2024 18:32

that union flag they are using as a background is not in its correct colours. I thought messing with the flag was a terrible thing.

RafaistheKingofClay · 04/04/2024 18:34

I’m not even sure Rishi is the second most powerful person in the Tory party. Let alone the rest of the world.

Piggywaspushed · 04/04/2024 18:34

The kit the 'Britain men' are wearing is the one with the woke flag.

The engine in an Aston Martin is German.

The ship is Swiss and was at the heart of some pollution issue.

The jets are well old.

The king is not meant to be a Tory AFAWK.

In order to notice the lack of women you have to know what a woman is, congratulations.
Also in order to produce a poster leaving out women, yup that's right, it shows they know what a woman is and what their place is.

Not much to add to what you have all said, except:

Why???

So embarrassing

RafaistheKingofClay · 04/04/2024 18:50

I can only imagine that since it’s Easter holidays somebody has taken their primary aged child to work to keep them occupied.

bombastix · 04/04/2024 18:58

It's like in the Thick of It was a documentary

newnamethanks · 04/04/2024 19:03

Braverman will have visited on her own behalf with any other matters being of secondary importance. If we're all being dragged back to church, can there be a mutual prayer for some well-deserved smiting of those who are taking the name in vain, etc.? That should thin the ranks.

RafaistheKingofClay · 04/04/2024 19:20

Braverman’s probably done what Patel got fired by May for when she visitors Israel. I’m sure Rishi’s government of honesty and openness and accountability will be looking into whether everything was documented as it should be.

I wondered why Jeremy Clarkson was trending. The second best country….In the world.
