Good to see Justine Greening on Politics Live calling out the lunacy.

Apparently the wretched Truss said at a fringe meeting that the Tories would have won the election if she was still leader and that the mortgage rate rises were the Bank of England’s fault not hers 😳

Asked to say something that will cheer up the audience, Liz Truss replies that "Donald Trump might win".

Big round of applause from the audience

John Crace posted he is there taking one for the team, looking forward to his take on it

Truss has gone full MAGA project 2025

Completely unelectable, thank God. Shame about poor Gullis, do hope he's not having to sign on as unemployed. Maybe someone should start a go fund me for him, don't start a stampede, fans. And, frankly, if I opened the door to find Badenoch on the doorstep I'd say I had to consult my husband, goodbye. I don't have a husband but needs must.

The CPAC/NatCon crowd seem to be extending tendrils ever further. I cannot figure out what is driving it unless its the modern day version of Internet based missionaries.

I actually think Truss is ill, she looks about twenty years older than before she was leader.

I thought he had a show on 1 of the right wing channels or that not last?

Does that beat Reforms mass deportations ?

I think there are rumours around heavy drinking , aren't there - but not sure there's substance to this.

@Piggywaspushed that could explain the delusions!

More lols

I know it's trivial in the scale of things, but Kemi Bad Enoch seems just too much like proof of an intelligent - and mischievous - creator. The same sense of humour that made a fart US President.

FGS 🙄

Dominic Grieve isn't impressed with Jenrick's promotion video

https://x.com/dominicgrieve_/status/1840704748246188191

This is one of the most astonishing videos I have ever seen posted by a Conservative MP, let alone a candidate for the leadership. Most of it is twaddle, a series of promises of change that leaving the ECHR will do nothing to take forward.

The only reason I wouldn't call DH to the door is that he's a bit of a wet lettuce when it comes to doorstep callers of any sort. I'm sure Kemi would love to hear about Ds2's favourite cereal bars, though. He might be a burden on the state but he can't half talk.

?

Good grief 😂

There’s no Bad in Badenoch? Doesn’t that just make it Enoch?

Say it like it is Kemi, fair play.

So far we’ve got Truss saying we should defund universities if they spout stuff that is antithetical to Conservative values
displaying a Star of David at every point of entry to the UK
breeding for Britain

And it’s only Monday. I don’t think they are in danger of getting back into power soon.

As predicted/expected, not a single hint they have any idea why they lost the election and two hundred and forty seats with it.

They are hardly a centre of intellect at the moment.

I am doubling down on my statement that the leader who will take whatever the Tory party becomes into power has not yet been born.

Also next party conference will see a different leader to whoever gets the booby prize this time (Jenrick, I am betting).

It's crazy isn't it? What on earth has happened to them? No insight at all

Who on earth is a fan of Truss FFS, the woman who caused untold damage to the country
And has now gone full on bonkers far right. She still believes she was correct in all she did. Deluded.
I think she'll follow Fartage down the trump trail. Trouble is no one has heard of her in the US

Tom Tugendhat says he “does not accept” the term of “climate emergency.”

I wonder if Zahawi mentions this in his book

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/sep/30/nadhim-zahawis-lawyers-breached-code-to-stifle-hmrc-revelations

It’s like they are all competing to be the worst possible person. And none of these 4 is going to be leader by the next election.

Tugendhat might have stood a chance but he seems to have gone full twat rather than be different.
