Thread 42 Starmer : Du drikker en kop te, og så tænker du lidt over alting

[DuncinToffee]

Welcome to our long running thread for political discussion, general chat, a friendly hug and taxes in kind.

I hate Reform but people can vote how they like.

And the people who voted for Braverman, Jenrick and all the other ex-tories didn't vote Reform. Admittedly, some voters might have felt that they merely didn't need to vote Reform with the Conservative candidates they had.

I don't think anyone on the thread has suggested otherwise?

I get "post not found" on that

Me too, I think it has been deleted.

At this rate, Reform might undo the wreck Johnson made of the Tory party.

It was deleted because a phone number was on there

That statement is now in the media, it goes on to say:

There are some people who are MPs because they care about their communities and want to deliver a better country. There are others who do it for their personal ambition. Suella stood for leader of the Conservatives in 2022 and came sixth, behind Kemi [Badenoch] and Tom Tugendhat. In 2024 she could not even muster enough supporters to get on the ballot. She has now decided to try her luck with Nigel Farage, who said last year he didn’t want her in Reform. They really are doing our ‘Spring cleaning’!😬

Cheers for the info

The more Tories that join Reform, the better, just supports the perfectly valid accusation that Reform is "ex Tory" than "New Broom"

Unfortunately, the media will be all Burnham, not Braverman.

So what happened to the Labour defection we were holding our breath for?

Spiteful

It has Badenoch written all over it. I can hear her saying it.

on brand.

For a bit of light entertainment - attached is my favourite photo of Suella Braverman.

There may be a few cream cakes being chucked around in the big tent (Labour), but I'm here for the side show where mud is being slung - Reform/Tories.

My least fav Brexitier, went to the Sorbonne under Erasmus, then made sure no one else could go.

Seriously, i wonder whether Badenoch will defect? similar political views.

John Hayes and Jacob Rees Mogg next. (JRM obviously not a sitting MP anymore).
Bet they’d love to invite Truss but can’t risk it.

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats it took me a while to get it 🤣

😂

I'm waiting for Badenoch herself to defect.

It's just so flipping cringe 😬

Vote who and how you like.

But for fucks sake own it when it goes titsup. Unless of course you wanted Brexit to be the shambles it is, and for 2019-2024 to be the British equivalent of the Year of Four Emperors.

Of course they can. But given that it is now stuffed to the gills with the worst dregs of the old regime, anyone voting for them because they're different is somewhat intellectually challenged.

Adding a 😂

Maybe Badenoch will want the accolade of being the longest serving Tory leader since 2015.

Speaking of cream cakes and mud pies, Nigella Lawson is to replace Prue Leith.

I am reminded of the magnet in cars sumps that catches all the crap at the bottoms.

Date of Gorton and Denton by-election announced = Thursday 26th February
