ing his mouth shut – a sort of form of intelligence for the very stupid! Whilst Tuginghishat seems to believe we are in need of a person who has served in the military. Actually writing this has made me think! You get a job in the Forces and are paid a wage like everyone else, but you serve? Did I serve as a teacher for 28 years? So the next step is the members vote to identify the last 2. Conservative members must be an odd group? And I say this without malice. There will be those with an ideological belief in a smaller state and less tax, however most of these ‘old style’ conservatives will be appalled at the right wing rhetoric of the 4 nutters. I would guess that the real nutters will have defected to the Reform Party of racists and misogynists.
So I wonder who they are? Telegraph readers for sure lots of them. Times readers with business interests probably accounts for most of the rest. To quote ‘Yes Minister’ their wives also read the Shit Mail! There are thought to be about 100.000 of them out there somewhere! My graphic did not work 172 thousand members compared with Labour 432.000.
I would guess numbers have shrunk since August 2022 – Is membership tied to the use of the club? Well they fucked up big time with Johnson and Truss. My guess is that they will go for Jenrick and then the remaining MP’s will chose between a rock and a hard place as they go from the frying pan to the fire! Phew – that was good! I guess it is not over until the fat lady sings, after all it is a game of two halves!
It also interesting that Starmer has plummeted in the polls BUT is still 20 points above any of the candidates in this race to the bottom.
I will end with a refernece to the school playing field and picking a team – I was never in the last 4 – this election reminds me of those times! And really should they be talking about themselves whilst the Middle East is fizzing with threats and potential disaster?
