- The infighting has already begun as party leadership hopeful Kemi Badenoch called one of Rishi Sunak’s private secretaries a ‘buffoon’ at a shadow cabinet meeting following their electoral disaster. And with Nigel Farage’s Reform party splitting the Tory vote, how will they deal with his threat?

Vulnerable people driven to despair in their 100,000s won’t be getting Murdoch pieces about trying to get things back together, especially not the ones who killed themselves.
eh?
They can fight all they want the Tories are done never as a party let a country down so badly and for so long they have been cast out into the wilderness never to return.
I’ve said for a long time now - the tories aren’t really a political party in England , they are the establishment and the class system in power. The English are so class ridden and used to a puerile rightwing media and a corrupt self serving elitist education system that they cant even see it. They will soon enough be back in power.
To analyse what went wrong? What 14 years of it?
post election Tory’s same circus different clowns
Now THIS (0:38) is a burn!
"... triggering that near annual tradition now: a Conservative leadership contest."
Is it any wonder, witnessing the post election position of the last 14 years of chaos, that the nation has been reduced to chaos and still they cannot unify! Thank goodness that they've been put to bed , leaving the grown-ups to try and rescue a once great nation!
Well our country won't be saved by the traitorous eu asskissing marxist party that's for damn sure....roll on 2029 and the Reform Party....
The delusions of self-importance on display from many of these Tory MPs is pathological.
The Times. A Tory mouthpiece from time immemorial.
Politics wise one step removed from the loon's on GB News, but I like their other none political content.
This is what happens when you lie the the electorate, it could have been so different, we trusted them, they let us down.
Sunak holding the fort? More like Holding a run down Transport Cafe!!
Sunak kicked the war dead then kicked the disabled now he has been kicked out. EX Veteran
The bitter incompetent right.......
Imagine posting about parties that aren't even in power.
It really isn’t the story at the moment.
Let them get on with it quietly
The remaining Tories need to be removed from Parliament. They are a not fit fit office. Richie Sunak was the only one that came out with any dignity and respect. The others, from the cCabinets, need to crawl away and not come back.
The Conservative Party needs to take time to determine its values and vision for the future. It is not about personalities - they have had enough of that - it should be about positioning.
The last time Tory members chose a leader they voted for Truss.
Their political political opponents must be extatic.
Don't worry Starmer is already spending more time visiting the world government and will soon be ignoring citizens just as often as Sunak. Once he becomes as rich as Sunak we will know that he has been fully vetted by WEF.
I am glad the Tories are gone but if I was a Tory with an eye on the leadership I'd firstly keep my powder dry for now and play the long game, let someone else take on the poisoned chalice that is the leadership for now before making a move down the line when Labour have been in power for some time and a much better impression can be made of their performance in govt.
Wefservatives are Finished 😂😂😂
Hope they will be in opposition for the same amount of years than when they were in government. They truly destroyed this country.
I suspect it's fanciful for anyone to suggest the country as a whole is prepared to listen with interest to anything that Conservative politicians are saying or that anything they say is going to be taken seriously for the next 2 years!
Still a lot of voters thinking it's a good idea to prolong the agony and vote for them when they could have voted Reform and gotten real conservative policies and leadership.
Literally irrelevant news now. It's too little too late. Bon voyage! 😅😂
SUNAK DON'T YOU FEEL LIKE GIVING BLANK CHECK ANYMORE 😅GET IT FROM YOUR POCKETS MAN GOOD LUCK 👌 NATHAN YAHU IS WAITING FOR YOU😅😅
The sheer bare faced audacity of Sunak 'staying on' after what he has done to their Party is staggering.
Reform all the way for the win.
With Reforms leader being part of the Trump cult, its the most profoundly un-British movement imaginable. Theyll put democracy into full scale retreat against authoritarianism
Do you want an NHS?
I wouldn't be shocked if Suella Braverman joined Labour too continue to brow beat her ex compatriots. She fit right in with Starma he's a Tory anyway.
