Agree. Most seem to be controlled by 55 Tufton Street, not a traditional Tory amongst them.

Penny was very strong at PMQs. Will be interesting to see if she's a politics remainer.

I don't think it is very interesting.
Who will take over from Southgate is much more important than this irrelevant rabble.

In five years you'll fed up with Starmer as well and begging to have the Torys back.

I've voted once in a General Election in 50 yrs of being able to do so. I have never ever cared about any of them. So, I truly don't care.

If you find yourself begging for the Tories to come back, look around you and see if there is anyone in the room wearing a white coat

It would look so poor to defect this quickly after being elected.

Re: Conservative Leadership Contest 2024
Interesting survey results of what a new Conservative leader faces
Quote:
Brexit and Partygate are the key legacies of the Tories’ 14 years in power, according to a new poll.
Research by Savanta found voters are mostly likely to remember the Conservatives for their most disastrous and divisive acts, rather than any positive record in Government. Brexit (43%) and the scandal of lockdown-breaking gatherings in Downing Street (41%) top the list, followed by Boris Johnson's bungling response to the pandemic (33%).
Voters also said they would remember Liz Truss’s disastrous mini-Budget (31%) and the Rwanda deportation scheme (27%), which has now been ditched by Keir Starmer. Only 8% of people said the party would be remembered for more positive things such as London 2012 Olympics and legalising same-sex marriage.
It comes as the Tories battle to rebuild the party from the wreckage after suffering the worst General Election defeat in history. A bitter leadership contest looms, with eight top Tories tipped to throw their hats in the ring, including ex-Home Secretary James Cleverly and former Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch.
Tees Valley Mayor Lord Ben Houchen called on ex-Home Secretary Suella Braverman to act "with civility" after she warned the party risks becoming "centrist cranks".
Chris Hopkins, Political Research Director at Savanta, said: “The next leader of the Conservative Party - and likely several after - will have to contend with the public's perception of the Conservatives' time in office for the last 14 years.
