Pretty funny to read this. CINOs in retreat?

He says it needs to focus on the leadership contest between the 4 contenders.

Robert Jenrick is Fav to take over. He was an immigration minister and quit from the last government.

Look for him to set out his stall he has made this his main issue.

[RandFan]

Robert Jenrick says Indian visas need to be subject to tough restrictions.

It’s a complete repudiation of the last government

I think this is why he is polling well among members.

I take it Rishi Sunak is the CINO ?

[RandFan]

He was/is head Honcho

And he did say “sorry” for what happened and got a good reception in some low key bar near the convention

Very strange ..

For our friends in the UK, I pray the electorate will repudiate both the Tory and Labour elite, and vote them out, vote them out and vote them out.

If Trump could take over the GOP, they need Nigel to take over the Tories.

They all are..."great" Britain is the prototype of the Uniparty.

[Jim Noble]

In other words, he is a British citizen born to two British subjects.

[Liz]

That he is.

[Churchillspirit]

Too late. Labour has a mandate to rule for 5 years. Too big a majority for a 'Vote of No Confidence' to throw them out.

Thanks a lot, Rishi!

[Reily]

The Monarchy could step in and force a new government. Use one or two of the “reserved powers”. The “King” is too old sick and “modern” in his thinking to do something that bold.

[MinorityRepublican]

Reform UK.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Only Reform, or a Reform dominated Conservative party, can save England now.

[MinorityRepublican]

Reform is the British version of the MAGA movement.

[Winniesboy]

Nice distinction which few here will twig. However, at the time of his birth the parents had metamorphosed from the latter to the former.

[Churchillspirit]

Can’t think of a single time that the monarch has stepped in and interfered with parliament......well not in last few hundred years.

[Reily]

Well, not a couple of hundred years, try 190 years ... !
Just because it’s done rarely doesn’t mean never again.

“..The sovereign also has the power to dismiss the prime minister, but the last time this power was exercised was in 1834, when William IV dismissed Lord Melbourne ...
“
Sometimes events drive the action. And it’s a “Constitutional” action.

I suspect the Labour rank-and-file will be becoming restless in short order, and dissension within the ranks will overwhelm Starmer’s lunacy. Texan Tip O'Neill has said famously that all politics is local. I think the observation apt. I give Starmer far less time in office than many predict. Best wishes.

[Churchillspirit]

I agree - Stammer may not last, but that just means he will be replaced by another socialist.
