Ha ha ha.

If Farage returns we could well see them collapse down to third position - which is terminal in a FPTP electoral system.

The PM can request The King to dissolve Parliament and call an election at any point from now until January 2025. It's difficult to tell when they'll go for, but you can see a situation where with polling like this they hold off as long as possible in the hope that *something* comes along to save them. On the other hand, that could just mean the rot spreads even further. Sir Keir Starmer may as well start measuring for curtains.

Historians will surely look back on this government and ask just how did the Tories throw it all away. It's so disheartening.

They don't need to. Answer is Party Gate & Liz Truss.

This time 3 years ago, Rishi Sunark would have won by a landslide after his furlough scheme. The previous two PM's have destroyed the Tory parties image in the voters mind to the extent that nothing can lead them to win. There is no doubt that Rishi is far superior a PM than Kier ever will be.

[-:Undertaker:-]

The cross-breaks on this morning's YouGov are quite something.

Tories have only 10% of *under-50s*. Just two points ahead of the Greens.

Reform are ahead of them in the North, and amongst men, and are only six points behind amongst over-65s.

I think we may have found the only fan of Rishi Sunak in the country.

Sunak as Chancellor handed out wads of cash for people to sit on their arses at home and was incredibly popular for it? Well blow me down a feather!, who wouldn't be? That isn't skill. The man has zero political skill, which is why he's spending parliamentary time banning smoking for 18 year olds and creating a Whitehall regulator for football - as the economy continues to flat line and hundreds of thousands of immigrants flood into the country. We may well be only days or weeks away from the Reform Party overtaking the Tories in the polls on his watch.

The bottom line is this and always has been this. There's no constituency in the country for a liberal Tory Party - if voters want political correctness, the nanny state and mass immigration they already have Labour and the Liberal Democrats for that. Voters like me will either sit on our hands or vote for Reform/some other outfit at the General Election against a liberal Tory Party, and they'll be swept away in a landslide.

Banning smoking is a fantastic idea. Why should my tax money be spent on trying to save those morons who decided to smoke poison? I mean are those photos on the packets not enough? No? Well, don't waste my hard earned tax money.

Because not everything revolves around you and your money. Most of us realise there's more to life than just worshipping the Great Mammon, and one of those precious things in this country is the old idea that the state gets off your back and doesn't seek to regulate everyone and everything within an inch of their lives. Besides, didn't you complain about having to fill in some customs forms post-Brexit? Not keen on regulations when it comes to the state sticking its beak into your business, are you? Your argument is a false one anyway as smoking raises more revenue for the Treasury than it costs. The same with alcohol.

Regardless, it just goes to show your poor political acumen, a la Sunak. Then when Labour are in for a decade, we'll have to listen to fake Tories like yourself who wanted to regulate everything, complaining about Labour regulating your business interests.

Dire numbers in this latest forecast for the Tories. Extinction level event.

From an 80 seat majority four years ago to this Somme.
Utter contempt for their voters.
MPs who are ashamed of Conservative values.
Weak on traditional strengths - immigration, crime, defence. pic.twitter.com/x7Tk1uqqit

How can any Tory ask the electorate to vote for them again? What exactly is the sales pitch? The arrogance of these people is breathtaking.

LOL at Rishi and his oh-so-clever "grown ups" - Reform was on 4% when he became PM, it's just scored 16% with YouGov. 🤣

Coming from the guy who worshipped UKIP who failed to gain a single seat.

Ukip was such a success that it didn't even need to win seats in order to force the Conservatives to hold a referendum, which we achieved and which we then won.

Ok whatever you want to tell yourself.
