They propose £47 billion spending cuts! If they are serious, for budgetary purposes, they'll need at least to halve that and recalculate their spending priorities.
They're making wild promises as they've calculated they won't win but want to put the pressure on Reform and Labour.

Nevertheless, it's a firm rule to at least double cost estimates and halve savings/income estimates.

It’s not about belief, they are currently irrelevant. Labour are only relevant because they are in government……for now.

Nobody is interested in what they have to say

Kemi Badenoch is trying to become the next leader of Britain, but can she even spell it?

A bizarre printing error discovered at the so far disastrous Conservative Party Conference has brought more shame on Sir Keir Starmer’s supposed opposition.

Her signed chocolate bar, handed out to journalists and supporters for free, reads: ‘When Labour negotiates, Britian [sic] loses.’

Quite clear that the Party can't be trusted to run a bath let alone the country!

Very true but that is easily a statement that can be made about all the politicians, not a single one of them is trustworthy, none of them is interested in anything but themselves.

MP's are merely put in place by the Unions, Corporations etc and then we get a "Choice" of which set of clowns we want to "Run" the country.

Never trust a politician with it's mouth open, anything that comes from it is a lie.

Don't worry they're 2-3 election cycles away from being anywhere near government.......unless in coalition.

Re: Conservative Party's chronicles

The uselessness of both party leaders is why I think the next election is a tough call. They'll both be different by then.

Labour are quite lucky the Tories are so dire because they would prefer a straight fight against Reform to squeeze the left vote and maybe even the Lib Dem vote. I think a more serious, less reactionary Tory Party would pose a much bigger threat to them.

nobody mentioned trains, I simply said that, like others, whatever he says will resonate with some but not all.
