The Lib Dems seem eminently well placed to form an effective centre-right opposition.

To be fair to them, it worked between 2010 and 2024, they probably can’t understand why it’s stopped working. The British electorate has been held in contempt by this party for quite some time.

FFS, let’s hope he hasn’t leaked anything of any importance to an enemy of Ukraine. Mind you, expecting a Tory minister to understand their brief is like expecting a chimpanzee to be able to explain the finer points of particle physics.

Well, I think we’re done here, the internet’s been won. Shut it down boys.

I don’t like “wealth envy” as a rule, but surely it’s obvious to all, regardless of political persuasion, that this level of inequality is harmful to society? Are there defenders of this? Not just the wealth to afford Rolls Royces, multiple stately homes, and the staff to maintain them...

It’s incredible. Outright lie after outright lie, endlessly gaslighting the British public and hoping nobody checks up on them. All of our media should be leaping all over this regardless of their general political allegiance. A British Prime Minister is standing up on a podium and lying to...

The Conservative Party is now 100% the tinfoil hat party. The Liberal Democrats are shaping up to be the official opposition at this rate. They’d be an improvement. Edit: it is incredible to me that an incumbent governing party has chosen to be the party of conspiracy theory and deliberate...

True, but the Conservative Party autopsy seems to be coming to the conclusion that they haven’t moved right enough, which leaves those who prefer a sane centre right party with the Liberal Democrats as their only option.

You are, of course, absolutely right. It feels like a long way back from here though, especially with Braverman et al still pushing the party to tack further right.

That’s what I find so depressing. This new breed of Conservative delights in misinformation and outright taking the voters for mugs. I might not always have agreed with the Conservatives of the past, but you felt their views were sincerely held, even if you felt they pointed in the wrong...

So realising that you have no hope of winning the important, substantive point, you instead try to gain a hollow victory of semantics? Jog on.

I love Britain sometimes.

Showing that London knows what’s good for it. Well done to all concerned.

It’s dribbling halfwits all the way down.

One to borrow from the library to avoid boosting sales.

I still don’t know which way he’ll go. My fear is a last minute back room deal that the Tories will enact some of Tice’s more batshit policies in return for him pulling the plug on Reform in closely contested seats. On the other hand, there’s surely only so many times that voters will be...

Sadly, the polling never precisely matches what happens at an election, but over my lifetime it’s usually been the centre-left vote that has been split between Labour/Lib Dems/Greens. The Conservatives successfully saw off any threat from UKIP post referendum result by lurching right and...

Please an election. They surely can’t expect us to swallow yet another unelected leader. Can they?

They all need to go. Every last one of them.

They have no clear target that I can discern beyond “angry and disaffected.” At this stage it feels like they’re just throwing stuff at random to see if anything sticks.
