The fact that only 60% of those polled think that the Tories are right wing………..

don't forget, they can solve all their problems by lurching further to the right as "they haven’t been right wing enough" :dunce:

Makes my point for me, cheers :dunce:

This, apparently, after another 11 quit in Burnley a few months ago.

Mostly around Gaza it seems. Although worth keeping in perspective Labour have over 6,000 councillors.

The graph from the link shows that people think that the Conservatives are right of centre, it’s the varying extent of how right that has changed..

From the link…

And as for the people who thought that the Conservatives are "fairly left wing" or "left of centre", that probably says more about them* than the Conservatives…

*UKIP’ers or Reform Party "members", who think anyone to the left of Richard Tice is a Commie

Thanks for the clarification Hugh.

I think that historically the Tories would be categorised by most people as "centre-right" i.e. leaning to the right of the political spectrum but closer to the centre. It is only in recent years that they have moved solidly into the "right-wing" and, it seems, intend to keep going.

Another one bites the dust

Quote:

A Conservative MP has been suspended by the parliamentary party while it investigates newspaper claims he misused campaign funds.

Mark Menzies is alleged to have used thousands of pounds given by donors to fund medical expenses and to have made a late-night call to an elderly aide asking for help because he had been locked up by "bad people" demanding money for his release, according to The Times.

The MP for Fylde in Lancashire, who is one of Rishi Sunak's trade envoys, disputes the allegations but the Conservative Party said it is taking them "seriously" and "will always investigate matters put to them".

The party's chief whip Simon Hart is said to have been made aware of the claims in January, when the former campaign manager reported what had happened.

However, a decision to remove the whip was taken last night.

Given the level on general incompetence and corruption in the Conservative Party it’d not be hard to see how Government could be compromised or collapsed by nefarious actors.

Rishi Sunak’s satisfaction falls to equal worst ever Ipsos rating for a Conservative or Labour leader

Net satisfaction with Rishi Sunak is now at joint worst levels in history of Ipsos, equivalent to John Major and Jeremy Corbyn’s worst ratings in 1994 and 2019.

The police will thank him for opening, or should i say expanding, a whole new market of illegal goods.

we truly live in an era, where we are governed by imbeciles.

I'm sure that in 10 years time, the countries shop keepers will be equally grateful they have to differentiate between a 24 year old and a 25 year old.

They cant even tell a 25 year old from an 18 year old these days, so they have to have the stupid "challange 25".
