I look upon the current Conservative Party at Westminster as little more than a bunch of closet LibDems with a thin coating of Tory blue to try and cover their tracks.
Thanks David, your short essay strikes the nail on the head.
I particularly liked the part about 14 years of betrayal - I was impressed when Jenrick said pretty much the same thing.
Me?
I shall never vote Conservative again, but younger people may eventually give them a chance.
May.
But I don’t believe that will happen until a Conservative leader apologises and admits the scope of the betrayal - and of course, the vast majority of MPs are LibDems - they either don’t believe they were wrong or they believe the electorate is stupid enough to trust another round of ‘we shall reduce immigration to the tens of thousands . . .’
I believe their brand is irretrievably trashed and I believe they will have effectively ceased to exist post - May.
I'm not impressed with Jenrick. He's a slick talker but that's all. He was immigration minister a few years ago and he was responsible for the migrant hotels. I wouldn't trust him to run a bath.
If this was a football match they'd stop it at half-time with Reform at 10-0 up.
Yes, there have been some glaring missteps :- the attempted character assassination of Rupert Lowe, throwing overboard of Ben Habib, slandering and castigation of Tommy Robinson and dubious appointment of Nadhim Zahawi BUT they're still our best hope out of this mess-at the moment.
Politics is a messy business and to misquote Bette Davis "Its not for wimps ".
At least Jenrick deserves a place in Reform which the last defector doesn’t. What will happen to Nick Timothy now that Jenrick and Kruger have moved on; will he be the last true Conservative left in a party of lefties?
Is Reform in danger of becoming a slightly less horrible version of the Tories, though? Reform seem to be taking on their share of scoundrels lately. I wonder if they'll be like the Republicans in the USA--driving the car off the cliff at 50 miles per hour, rather than the Democrats driving at 90 mph.

I doubt the Farage ego will cope with Jenrick unless he is kept in a box.

Reform absorbs Conservatives?
Reform is simply the continuation of the uniparty by other means.
The party system is the problem and will never be the solution.
Vote for a LOCAL candidate who lives with the people and who will support the people before the party.

All the same UNIPARTY including Labour and Lib Dems with them!
